Well,apparently it is legal in Ny if you want Aston.

BTW,they say the car is still hand built.

I bet you it's 1K just to walk into their service department and say " Good afternoon ". After that it's incremental by 100$ for each donut and coffee you consume.

Ok more info from another dealership. Much better experience with this one! Car can be ordered today. It will be here by the end of the summer as a 2015 model. 10% deposit required. About 108K and not many options that we enthusiasts would be interested in to fatten up the price : some sound system upgrades,heated seats etc.
Warranty : 3 years Unlimited miles!
Colors standard from the website,it can't be ordered in any other color besides those and only 2 interior choices : black and light grey. You can order different stitching and such...again not interesting...
Now for the good news for me : they'll have it at the NYC AUTO SHOW starting on Friday. I never miss it so I'll definitely take a look!!!

I still think these are gorgeous, with the best proportions of the current AM generation. They sound great, too, with either V8 or V12. The fire sale price is attractive, and I can appreciate picking up one of the last of the manuals. But for the track?! Obnoxious stripes do not make the ultimate boulevard cruiser an entertaining track car.

Be sure to drive one before you get your hopes up. Decade old Ford/Volvo infotainment and electronic accessories will likely make a 991 seem like a space craft.

the 100k Aston Martin is an attractive buy for a weekend warrior.
A friend of mine just bought a Vantage black edition which has the v12 and manual tranny. Very nice.

I really like the AM GT.
Give it seats, Harnesses, Steering wheel, Slicks and a roll bar. Done.

How about a Ruf 3800s Coupe. Naturally aspirated 420hp, 450NM, 6 speed, 3000lbs.

Only thing is .2 RS money / 40% over BGB but unique VIN

Aston gives the option for alcantara steering wheel and shift ****.

It's the same platform used for the GT4 race cars, so my guess is you could get some of the more "racey" bits from their motorsport division, including Prodrive.
