Two Aston Martins on the same lease assumptions
Luxemetry's 36-month, 10,000-mile estimates at a 0.0027 money factor (6.48% comparison shorthand, not loan APR): DB12 about $3,324 a month, Vantage about $2,586. Those are not dealer quotes.
All figures assume 36 months, 10,000 miles per year, a 0.0027 money factor (6.48% comparison shorthand, not loan APR), and Luxemetry's modeled market adjustment. Due at signing is the calculator's 10% down payment plus fees and the first month.
Aston residuals sit at 54% and 52%. On this site that trails Ferrari and Lamborghini — a Roma residualizes at 60%, a Huracan at 62%. That gap is why a DB12 can still lease near those cars.
These estimates use 10,000 miles a year, not 12,000. Residual is a percentage of MSRP, never of what you paid.
DB12. MSRP $248,000. Residual 54% ($133,920). Market adj. −5%. About $3,324 a month. Due at signing $29,324.
Vantage. MSRP $194,000. Residual 52% ($100,880). Market adj. −7%. About $2,586 a month. Due at signing $23,186.
Why Aston residuals trail Ferrari and Lamborghini
A lease is a rental of depreciation. The bank forecasts residual as a percentage of MSRP and charges you the gap between capitalized cost and that forecast, plus interest.
The DB12 stickers at $248,000 with a 54% residual ($133,920). A Roma residualizes at 60%. A Huracan residualizes at 62%. The DB12 estimate is about $3,324 a month. The Roma is about $3,235. The Huracan is about $3,372. Those are not dealer quotes.
The Vantage residual is 52% of a $194,000 MSRP, or $100,880. Modeled market adjustment is −7%, so capitalized cost is $180,420. The estimate is about $2,586 a month, with $23,186 due at signing.
You can negotiate capitalized cost. You cannot negotiate the residual. The bank will not raise 54% or 52% because you paid less than sticker.
DB12 and Vantage
The DB12 is modeled at a $248,000 MSRP, a 54% residual ($133,920), and a 5% discount. Capitalized cost $235,600. About $3,324 a month, $29,324 due at signing.
The Vantage is modeled at a $194,000 MSRP, a 52% residual ($100,880), and a 7% discount. Capitalized cost $180,420. About $2,586 a month, $23,186 due at signing.
On allocated Ferraris and Lamborghinis, residuals of 60% and up keep more of the sticker out of the payment. Aston is the weaker residual case: 54% and 52% mean the bank is holding more of the curve. That is why a DB12 at nearly the same sticker as a Roma or a Huracan does not lease cheaper.
A large due-at-signing check is prepaid depreciation, not equity.
What to do with a dealer quote
Negotiate the selling price first, as if you were paying cash. Then ask for the five inputs: capitalized cost, residual percentage for this exact term and mileage, money factor, term, and mileage allowance.
Put those five numbers into the lease calculator. If the payment the formula produces does not match the worksheet, something has been added that you have not been shown.
These estimates use 10,000 miles a year, not 12,000. Excess mileage on an exotic is expensive.
Frequently asked questions
- How much is it to lease an Aston Martin in 2026?
- On Luxemetry's 36-month, 10,000-mile estimates at a 0.0027 money factor (6.48% comparison shorthand, not loan APR), a DB12 is about $3,324 a month ($29,324 due at signing) and a Vantage is about $2,586 ($23,186). Those are not dealer quotes.
- Why does an Aston lease near a Ferrari or a Lamborghini?
- Aston residuals trail Ferrari and Lamborghini: 54% on the DB12 and 52% on the Vantage versus 60% on a Roma and 62% on a Huracan. The DB12 stickers close to those cars ($248,000 versus $247,000 and $249,000) but the bank forecasts less leftover value, so the monthly numbers land near each other.
- Can you negotiate an Aston Martin lease?
- You can negotiate the capitalized cost and the dealer's money-factor markup. You cannot negotiate the residual. Residual is a percentage of MSRP. These estimates model a 5% discount on the DB12 (cap cost $235,600) and a 7% discount on the Vantage (cap cost $180,420).
- Is leasing an Aston Martin smarter than buying one?
- Over three years, a lease shifts depreciation risk to the bank. On Aston that risk is larger than on Ferrari or Lamborghini, because residuals sit at 54% and 52% rather than 60% on a Roma or 62% on a Huracan. Run both on the same five inputs.
- Do these numbers include tax and fees?
- They are Luxemetry calculator outputs under the site's standard assumptions, including a modeled sales-tax rate. Due at signing is 10% down plus fees and the first month. Your state tax method and fees will differ.
