Sandy Springs car dealer to begin selling Aston Martins

Metro Atlanta drivers with a James Bond-like taste for cars and a sizable bankroll or credit line now have a new place to drop more than $180,000 for a set of wheels.

Motorcars of Georgia has begun selling several models of the Aston Martin at the dealership's showroom on Roswell Road in Sandy Springs.

The top model listed on the dealership's Web site, the DBS convertible, lists for $286,500, while the coupe model goes for $273,000. Also for sale is the DB9 convertible for $200,570 and a coupe for the bargain-basement price of $187,070.

Aston Martins have been featured in at least a dozen James Bond movies, including the latest, Quantum of Solace, in which Agent 007 drives the V-12 DBS. In some of the earlier Bond movies, the car's tailpipe converted to a machine gun. That option is not available at the Sandy Springs dealership.

According to the Atlanta Business Chronicle, Aston Martin previously had a dealership in metro Atlanta for about 15 years, but that dealership agreement ended about six months ago.

Motorcars of Georgia also sells cars made by Lamborghini, Lotus and BMW.
