Aston....Bentley...Maserati...which do you choose?
I'm thinking of putting $65k or so into one of these three nice cars. The Bentley might be too old for me. I am liking the Astons going for $60-70 range for 2008-2009 cars.I have heard they are pretty reliable. I've owned several high power cars.....Benz CL, Benz SL, Benz SL55, BMW M6, new twin turbo CLS550 now.
How do you guys rank the Aston vs Masaratti and Bentley?

I would probaly go Aston. A DB9 is probaly going to be my next car.
Where did you hear Aston Matrtin's were reliable? B/c even the dealer told me opposite.
I wouldn't purchase anyone of them without at least a 36k warranty.

Avoid Maserati's!
There is a reason they depreciate so fast.
If you get the Bentley avoid seat time in a Pheaton, you'll be asking your self why didn't I just buy a Pheaton and pocketed 40k

Most important: Which models? 
Aston's are great. But they do have lots of quirks. Handmade = human error. Expect things to rattle and come loose more often than you would like.
Maserati does well with the Quattroporte. I still prefer the GranTurismo. I see more of them on the road and they sound great.
Bentley, especially with the Continental GT, is not that special to me. Maybe because every trophy wife in Orange County drives one with a lap dog in the driver's seat; I hate the stigma.
Personally, between the choices, I'd get an Aston Vantage cabriolet. Proper wheels and exhaust and you'll look good and sound great.

The general consensus on 6speedonline has been that Aston V8 Vantage from 2008+ has been pretty reliable. If I remember correctly, factory warranty is about $3200 per year.
Hard work pays off, congrats for putting yourself in a good position. Here is what I come home to:
