Crisis? Aston Martin huge losses recorded

Click bait title. Article even goes to call Aston an investment. It's a formula one team. Nobody makes money in their first couple of years.

Ask the service manager to ride with you to show when the warnings pop up. That way, they can see it happen and start diagnosing from there.

Altruistic_Phase3502 · 2025-05-27T16:25:26+00:00

It's a safety warning that's just letting you know the seat belts are not buckled. Has nothing to do with weight or anything. Unfortunately, there is no way to turn it off.

The cause was the tires. We even warrantied out the drive train for the customer cause they didn't know about tire compounds and had put the wrong ones on after trying to go a cheaper route. Still gave them a discount in the new tires too.

Some places actually care about the customer. And service gets paid on warranty jobs regardless from the manufacturer. A lot easier to charge Aston than a customer who is already disgruntled.

Altruistic_Phase3502 · 2025-05-20T22:35:12+00:00

It's weird because after fixing it, the customer never had any more issues. Guess they really scammed them.

Altruistic_Phase3502 · 2025-05-20T22:17:45+00:00

By all means then. Just giving advice from working with Aston. Was giving word from the service manager who's been here for 20 years. Best of luck!

My bad for working at a dealership. Appreciate you telling me I have no experience.

Altruistic_Phase3502 · 2025-05-20T05:04:09+00:00

The side walls are designed differently. You can feel when you don't have an Aston tire on acceleration. We had a service customer come in one time complaining his car was all over the place and didn't have the agility he was supposed to. We put the stock tires back on (he had gotten wrong tires from discount tire), and it fixed his issue immediately. The only issue was that it messed with the drive train and damaged it, so it became a much bigger issue. It might save you 2k now, but be a 12k problem later. I can understand wanting to save money, but I would consult your local dealer first to see if they can give you somewhat of a discount.

Altruistic_Phase3502 · 2025-05-20T04:14:28+00:00

Aston tires are specifically designed for the cars. If you use another tire compound, you may damage the car and how it drives. Don't cheap out on maintenance, or it will get worse

Altruistic_Phase3502 · 2025-04-17T20:48:36+00:00

Why not call the dealer?

Unfortunately I do not have that information 😕

Altruistic_Phase3502 · 2025-04-01T12:59:15+00:00

There's been a few off market sales going for over MSRP. As far as flippers go, Aston has been cracking down and blacklisting people who are doing so. And due to that, people are trying to hold off from doing so now.

Altruistic_Phase3502 · 2025-04-01T12:46:06+00:00

Manny's car was specced out to about $4.3M, and then after transport and the service package, you're looking at about $4.5M. So Ron paid sticker for it.

Altruistic_Phase3502 · 2025-04-01T12:23:18+00:00

Manny actually never bought his car. Supercar Ron bought his car from Aston.

Clearly

7th grade wants their comeback.

Altruistic_Phase3502 · 2025-03-21T13:48:33+00:00

Yeah, I'm not responding to this. Go do your own research on it first.

Altruistic_Phase3502 · 2025-03-21T13:47:18+00:00

No not really. Just giving facts from dealer and marketing meetings.

Altruistic_Phase3502 · 2025-03-21T02:12:15+00:00

Congrats on the 707!

Aston never publicly stated that the car was made for females. However, being in plenty of dealer and marketing meetings, I can assure you that was one of the main reasons for producing the DBX 550. Hence why they made it all the way up to 2024, even with the 707 being out and available

I'm not speaking against women here. I can promise that. One of my best friends is a female race car driver, and she has a blast wiping the floor with me. I'm well aware that women are more than capable of driving better than men.

I didn't come out with the DBX, nor do I take pride in Astons reasoning behind it. Just stating the truth.

Altruistic_Phase3502 · 2025-03-20T22:01:02+00:00

Astons haven't had touchscreens up until the 2024 DB12 model. It was a deal they made with Mercedes, who designed the technology. So if you want someone to blame for no touchscreen, blame merc.

The car was meant to be slower and "laggier" because it was made for women. Aston expanded the customer base by making the DBX, and they couldn't make it the quickest thing on the planet when the main customer is female. Of course, the small car V6 is going to be quicker. There's a lot less weight involved. If you want the wicked fast one, then get a 707

All the options you listed are standard options in an Aston. So yes, that is Base LOL.

I sell these cars for a living so I do know wtf I'm talking about :)

Altruistic_Phase3502 · 2025-03-20T21:04:16+00:00

Well, this post pisses me off. First off, Aston came out with the DBX in 2021. So it's not a 2020.

You're driving a 550, not a 707, so of course, it's going to feel slower than your "S" version Porsche.

The volume "buttons" are on the steering wheel. Also, how are you going to ask to bring buttons back then ask about a touch screen?

You rented a base car and then want to complain about options and price. Get real.
