Can't afford to buy an Aston Martin? Lease one!

UNFORTUNATELY YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO AFFORD THE LEASE EITHER

Beginning May 1, Aston Martin customers will be able to lease their favorite grand touring car for a fraction of the cost of owning one. Aston launched the new “closed ended” lease and finance program with U.S. partners Ally Financial.

Ally will offer its financing products at all 37 Aston Martin dealerships across the country.

“Alongside our globally coveted product range and a well-established dealership network,” said Julian Jenkins, president of Aston Martin The Americas, “this new finance agreement broadens our customer offering and accessibility to the Aston Martin brand, supporting our ongoing growth in this region.”

We messed around with a payment calculator and got $3,166 per month if we were buying that V12 Vantage straight up, and more than $5,000 per month on a Vanquish. So, this is a deal. Of course, at the end of the lease you’ll be left with a $50,000-shaped (plus down payment) hole in your wallet, but you will have been an Aston driver for a few years, and that’s saying something, though we’re not sure what.

Aston says the agreement extends to all of its core models including the Rapide sedan, DB9, V8 and V12 Vantage and the Vanquish. Unfortunately the Vulcan isn’t included, nor is the 582-hp Vantage GT3.
