I'm going to be giving up the M6 soon, and the AM's have caught my eye...
I'm looking at both DB9's and Vanquish's...even though the Vanquish is out of production, I love the aggressive lines of this car.
It looks like 2005/6 DB9's and 2002/3 Vanquish's are going between 100K to 140K?
Is one car better than the other (any owners here to comment?)
How is maintenance and reliability?
Thanks in advance!

PCH is infamous around these parts
Along with owner comments you may want to stop by your local AM dealer's service department and inquire with the service manager. Also for 140K you should be able to purchase a low mi. '05 Vanquish S.

A bifference is the drivetrains: Vanquish is paddle-shift only and DB9 can be had as a true manual or automatic.

Hey there reddevil, saw your posts on your purchase - congrats! beautiful!

Yes, I would do a PPI...how important is extended warranty - I'm assuming it's recommended with this high-end car....which leads to - what are maintenance service costs and reliability?
