A new global certified pre-owned sports car programme - Timeless - has been launched by Aston Martin.

Established to offer customers of pre-owned Aston Martin sports cars the 'very highest levels of quality, assurance and confidence,' the new programme is being launched internationally across the brand’s 164-strong dealer network.

With the Timeless covering all Aston Martin models from the last ten years, it offers customers the opportunity to purchase modern classics such as the DB9, DBS and V12 Vantage, with peace of mind. For those aspiring something a little more exotic, the exclusive V12 Zagato and iconic One-77 will also be covered by the scheme.

In addition to the services previously offered, the new programme also includes: A comprehensive one-year warranty, full roadside assistance, a technical inspection including full hardware and software updates, an Aston Martin provenance certificate, verification of the car’s service history and a VIP handover pack. Discounts on Aston Martin accessories for three months from the date of purchase also come as part of the pre-owned programme.

Aston Martin VP & Chief Sales Officer, Christian Marti said: “I am very happy to see the launch of this new and improved pre-owned service. Additions such as the new inspection regime – which for the first time includes a comprehensive assessment and review of our cars’ software, as well as their technical condition – can only add confidence for our buyers.”

He added: “Aston Martin rightly prides itself on its personal customer service, attention to detail and luxury, and with the debut of the Timeless pre-owned programme around the world, I know we are better placed than ever to continue to improve these elements of our business.”
