Hi Everyone,

Im looking to buy my First AM! Im currently looking at 07-09 Vantage. I love the design of the car. simply beautiful. However, Ive been hearing mixed reviews when it comes to the reliabilty of the car.

Also, any feedback on the manual vs. automatic?

I guess my major issue is how problematic can this car be and how high is the maintence cost from your past experiences? We all know any platform can have its fair share of lemons.... but does this car have a higher percentage then most? Im coming from the reliabilty of an SL550 and Corvette Z06

Lastly, how is the resale value and how quickly can you sell. Reason why Im asking is because I maybe looking to make a change when a specific new car comes to market in the next 2-3 years.

Thank you all for you help and honesty!
