Default Looking for a new Bentley? Aston Martin?

I was lucky enough to land an absolute dream job recently at Distinctive Collection, where we specialize in Aston Martin and Bentley vehicles.

If any of you are in the market for a nice new car such as these, or if you just have a general question, I love talking cars and would be happy to chat.

Just a quick example of some of the wares in our olde shoppe:

V12 Vantage S





DB9





Vantage V8





Vanquish Volante





Rapide S



Continental GT



Flying Spur



Mulsanne



And some very nice pre owned exotics



Thanks for looking! Post or PM any inquiries on price, availability, drool resistant clear coat, etc.

Karl

Also, happy to help with some incentives to the CP community.

What a fantastic place to work.

The new cars are way too rich for my blood, but if you guys ever have a classic 80s/90s Porsche, let me know! I actually test drove a 993 there last year, but unfortunately I just couldn't get past the fact it was a convertible. Really great service though.

Is the Spyker still there? That thing was bonkers on the inside.

I was in a few weeks ago, and that 04 360 has my name written all over it.

Thanks! Right now we don't have any classic Porsches but I understand they do come in every now and then, so I will be sure to let you know.

Don't have any Spykers in right now, but those things are seriously cool. Supercar with an aviation design theme...whats not to love?

More curious as to how one lands a job like that.

What was your career path to get to this point? (sorry if an intrusion, feel free to PM if prefer)

Of course there is a CP discount, sorry I forgot to mention that. Either I can include some pretty nice merchandise with a purchase, or just by taking off a few more dollars from the selling price.

Some of the accessories are pretty neat, stuff you could wear in public and not look like Joey in that friends episode about the Porsche. The model cars and cuff links are great too. I would be more than happy to include some swag to a fellow CPer.

Do you have anything if one wanted to look like that though?

Congrats on the job. Shame that 360 isn't a coupe

Does your financing department offer 30 year amortizations?

awesome.

The new A.M headlights with the LED strip, look like they're encrusted with rhinestones.

Not a fan.

The burgandy leather though is pretty handsome, especially while inside in their halo.

Thank you, much appreciated. The Aston Martin V8 Vantage starts around $123k, which isn't too expensive considering it's hand built and very unique. It's the only one that offers the manual transmission option and many people like that. It's an absolute blast to drive and the exhaust note puts you in a trance, I could drive one without ever putting the radio on.
