are you looking for new or used? i know of a new one that is for sale at our local dealership. the regional rep and the tech drove it out to my house to check on my car and the regional rep said this was probably the first time two db9 sport pack 6 speeds have ever been parked next to each other. i LOLed, but he said he was serious. i thought that was pretty cool.

. I'm in lower NY, and will probably get to see an 08 over at Ray Catena, if they ever wake up over there and respond to my TWO inquiries. If the SM or GM reads this you should fire someone in the internet inquiry area.

My in-laws live not too far from there, so if I'm flying someplace to see a car, it would probably be there. That will be a last resort and I have a feeling ALL these cars are going to be sitting a while ...

Going to NJ tomorrow to see a black DB9 coupe 6MT with sports pack. Hopefully, it's the bees knees. Prices are all over the place as I've seen a used 2009 auto coue with a few hundred miles in the 160's, a less than 100 mile 2008 like the one I'm driving for under 150 and then a lot of unrealistic ones.

Hindsight's always 20/20. Like you said, enjoy it and don't look back. The car was really sharp with Onyx black, sports pack, red calipers, black leather with gray contrast interior and piano black wood. It's fast and not as manic as my Turbo. There's a new 08 carbon black/bentley tan in Greenwich that I'll probably go see on friday.

Wow, that combo sounds sweet.
I checked out the Bentleys too...so beautiful, but a little less sporty for me.
Went AM as you can see.

best of luck, but i must warn you of one thing. absolutely do not look at a dbs is there is one there. i was at the dealership yesterday and saw a black dbs tucked away in the corner of the shop and omg. it is entirely on a different level than a db9 and now i see why it is so much more money. the dealership has a white one and a black one, but the black one looks much more elegant and menacing than the white. i now want one in black

. Cynthia turns out to be the former "Ms. Miller", as in Miller Motor Cars. As we set out on the DB9 test with her taking us out, she says, "I drive a 6-speed daily". Later I ask which and she replies, " A DBS!" After the DB9 test she says, "Do you want to go for a ride in my DBS to see the differences?" Duh! Nicer inside, but not a ton. Quicker, but the DB9 is no slouch. Better suspension and adjustable = winner! Too bad my budget doesn't allow for an extra 100 grand b/c I think I'd really love the DBS. As for the DB9, it's a strong like, but I'm not sure if that's enough. To be cont'd ..
