Need help - Clutch Blown on DB9 after 8k

If you escalate and make a scene with AMNA you could probably get warranty service.

It's not like we're talking about a clutch issue on a NISSAN or Ford here... AM wants to protect their reputation and chances are their clientele are repeat customers and have enough connections with other high-wealth indivdiuals to do damage to the brand if they are not treaded well.

Burning a clutch out in 5,000 miles is preposterous and they know that. Especially since this is her second Aston. It's not like she's a newb.

My old car was a Hyundai, no manufacturer wants word around that don't honor their warranties.

Hey hey hey. Hold it son. can't speak about fords (that's your specialty) but my nissan clutch feels as good as new even after 44000 km including over a dozen track events and lots of spirited city driving. And even better, I got to save $160000 compared to that db9. You can buy a heck of a lot of clutches for 160k

wtf are you talking about, he's simply saying Ford, Nissan, as an entry level, every day car company. Unlike Aston Martin which is a luxury car company.. with a high level clientele and a reputation to maintain.

no one cares about your clutch
