I've seen a lot of '05 DB9's going for around 100K or so (depending on miles). My question is - are people leasing this vehicle? If so, is there anyone looking to get out of their lease?

 

You would think that MY05s are coming OFF of leases right about now... That is why there seems to be quite a lot of them being advertised these days.

 

Yea that's a good point...then I suppose some dealers would possibly re-lease them? BMW is notorious for this.
How is the reliability of AM's?

 

Of course that's a possibility to re-lease, but that is essentially leasing a used car. The financing figures for a used car never look good.

The best idea is to figure out your budget and buy/lease the newest car you are comfortable splurging on. In the long run, it may make a lot more sense to go for a new car, as the residuals/lease rates/etc would be in your favour.

Reliability has been reported as very good for the later models, 05/06 have been known for lots of graemlins, but the later 07-08s have been bulletproof as I have read.

 

Isn't the OEM warranty only 3 years on A-M? It is certainly something to think about when buying an 05/06. Does anyone know if aftermarket warranties hold up on these or ? I'd guess the dealers probably sell "certified" cars since it seems like everyone else does.
