No, this is another blue one. Not been a press car. Was owned by the MD of the dealer. It's an 06 plate, 5,000 miles.
All the extras including overboost etc, retailed at 103k. He wants 100k for it.
He is offering 47 for mine, paid 54,700 (list) for it 2-3 months ago, and mine has done 4,000 miles.
He is in the stronger position because he knows I'd have to wait 1 year for a new one, and there's only a handful about second hand, all about the same money.

Ginge,
How about this: Clinkard Ltd - Performance Cars: Porsche, Ferrari, Mercedes, Aston Martin, Lamborghini
They may be interested your's (they've got a RS4 Avant for sale too)
Good luck

although that press car has been ragged a bit (and by me ) I'm pretty certain it would be faultless during the time that you own it. When I was in the process of buying one I enquired about hard usage and the fact I would be driving it hard all the time. The dealer's response was "it will handle it and then ask for more!"
All I can reply to that is
If you can get the press one for that price then I'd go for it. IT looks sexy in the blue. PErsonally though the black on black is the way for me.

They are nothing special to sit in. Feels like your sitting in a first class aeroplane seat waiting for your glass of champagne. I keep going on about it but go sit in a Ferrari F430 ... you could sit there for hours just beholding the instrument panel. Then you turn the bad boy on and it will take you 10 minutes before you can move your legs to drive it!
Astons are cruisers ... not performance sports cars.

RIGHTTTTTTT THENNNNNN
Blue one didn't work out, so I've got the other direction and ordered a new one. Like Gangsta said Porsche have quoted me anything up to 18 months but the guy reckons I should get it quicker. When it comes to the spec I definatly think I'll be going for black!
So all I have to do now is wait!!!

Anyway need some advise lads.
Porsche have offered to swap my RS4 for a 997 S while I wait for my Turbo.
997 S is only 380bhp but it weighs less, so they are about the same figures to 100.
Here are the cars in question:-
