The Aston Martin Virage had to be one of the most puzzling vehicles launched in the last decade. The fact that it was only on sale for a year probably tells you all you need to know about the public reaction to this vehicle. Slotting between the existing DB9 and DBS models into a gap that was imperceptible to many, the Virage was always going to face an uphill task and so it proved. That doesn't make it a bad car and, if anything, makes the few used examples you can find even bigger bargains. Although the marketing may have been questionable, there was precious little wrong with the hardware.
It's interesting how a car many derided as pointless when new suddenly becomes something wholly worthy as a used proposition and few cars embody that quite so well as the Aston Martin Virage. Why? Because here you have an exclusive badge with a model that you'll never see coming the other way. It's the ultimate piece of one-upmanship. It's left-field and that makes it cool in a way that a more ubiquitous DB9 or a Vantage never can be. True bargain hunters may gamble on waiting another year or two before picking one of these up, but we have a suspicion that values for this car might firm up somewhat.
