The Cost Of Replacing An Aston Martin's Windscreen Will Make You Weep

A used Aston Martin may be cheap to buy, but sure as hell not cheap to run, as demonstrated by the hideous cost of this windscreen replacement

Recently, motoring journalist and Jalopnik columnist Freddy ‘Tavarish’ Hernandez got his hands on the V8 Vantage owned and run by a certain Doug DeMuro. It chucked out some hilariously expensive bills during Doug’s ownership, and it looks to be doing the same with Tavarish, as seen by this windscreen repair bill, which weighed in well over $4000. Cripes.

Thank god it was covered under insurance…

But… Windshields are car parts. I’d still just go get a custom windshield made by a glass company though, it’d definitely come out cheaper.

That is why you need a bumper to bumper warranty

Depends of the rarity and complexity of the windscreen, but a very simple windshield for Volvo 940 cost 800-900eur here in Norway (which is one of the cheaper ones)

Remember, this is DeMuro’s Vantage. So I completely expected this.

Mine was €1200 on a 2011 Mazda 6 sport so I don’t think that’s too steep!

4000? That’s not bad at all. My Audi is probably just as expensive lol

Might have saved a bit if you asked for a price before leaving it into get fixed. But that was a ridiculous price
