Stupid headline. Is he paying to drive it or buy it?

“But one Australian buyer has already put down the $200,000 deposit and will take delivery next year, when he can expect to pay a balance of about $3.8 million once all the relevant taxes have been applied.”

You know a car is expensive when the relatively small deposit is more than most houses.

Nice ride but at that price it should come with a Bond girl.

But, will he actually drive it? As far as I know anyone that pays that kind of money for a car never actually drives it.

I still say it's a stupid headline. Why not just say, "Australian Man to Buy Aston Martin for 4m"?

I’m sure the car will attract it’s fair share of “Bond Girls”.

If he has that kind of money just to put down on a car you can be assured he already has his Bond girl if he wants one.

It better have a cup holder big enough for a 64 oz. slurppy!
