Stratus White over tan with a matching top suits the Vantage well, and a commenter who owns one identified the interior as Sandstorm rather than the Sahara Tan named in the listing. Bidding on Bring a Trailer is open with no bids recorded and six days left. The seller bought the car for his wife, who does not fit it comfortably.

What it’s worth right now
Classic.com records a high of $93,500 for a 4.7 Vantage roadster and a low of $27,300 for a 2009 example in March 2025, while the broader V8 Vantage market averages $74,281 across all variants. Sportshift cars trade below manuals, and roadsters below coupes.
Fair value lands at $34,000 to $42,000, with $38,000 the most likely close. Mileage of 36k is moderate for the model, and the documented clutch work removes the expense buyers of automated-manual Astons fear most. No prior sale price is documented for the 2025 purchase.

Condition and details
The listing contradicts itself on history. One passage notes damage in a May 2022 Carfax entry with paintwork to repair a scratch, while another states the report is free of accidents. Both cannot be right, so read the report rather than the summary. The scratch explanation is modest and plausible.

Tires need immediate attention. Three Arroyo Grand Sport 2 tires are fitted with a single Kumho Ecsta at the right rear, which is a mismatched set on a rear-wheel drive car making 420 horsepower. A full set belongs in the purchase budget regardless of remaining tread.

Everything else reads well for the age. Two commenters looked for the failures these cars develop, dashboard leather recession and a separating rear window seal, and reported both areas solid. The missing start portion of the ignition bezel is a known, inexpensive fix. No top operation video has been posted, which a bidder has requested.

What makes the V8 Vantage unique
Needing a car to sell in volume, Aston paired a bonded aluminum chassis with a hand-finished cabin at a price that reached far more buyers than the DB9. The 4.7-liter version arrived for 2009 with 420 horsepower, answering the main criticism of the original 4.3.

Two decades on, the shape has aged better than almost anything from the period, which is why these have stopped depreciating. The Sportshift transmission remains the sticking point, since a single-clutch automated manual feels dated next to modern dual-clutch units. That divide separates a $38,000 roadster from a $60,000 manual coupe.
My take
Fair value sits at $34,000 to $42,000, with $38,000 the most likely result, and the crux is an appealing car presented with a contradictory history summary and two tire brands across four wheels. Neither problem is expensive to solve, and the clutch, brake, and sensor work already done are the right items. Read the Carfax directly, budget for tires, ask for the top video, and $38,000 is fair for a Vantage in this color.
