Thumbs up Just bought 2009 DBS: Lightning Silver

Ok New to this group

I just bought my first AM DBS.

I first wanted to buy a 2010 Aston martin DBS, auto, carbon black with 1800 miles for 200K. The dealer was out of state and was making the deal difficult and sold it (kind of sketchy i must say) the night before i could make the deposit...I never got an inspection etc. He was a good talker but not very loyal.



Instead, i stumbled upon a 2009, manual aston Martin DBS with 1100 California miles for 185K. This car was stunning and since I saved 15K and from a reliable Aston Martin Dealer. I bought it. It has warranty till feb 2013.

Pics attached.

Any comments or thoughts..
I am really impressed how nice the silver shows. I thought silver was not for me initially.

Black was my first preference, but maybe silver is growing on me....also easier to clean.

Look forward to learning more about these cars from you.

You want to really finish off your car...get a real CF license plate frame w/clear lens from Griot's Garage. Matches the rest of the external CF perfectly. Good for V12V owners also.

Talking

Thanks all.

Yes, I am very pleased with the DBS. I think the Manual was key. I also feel that Silver is the right color to showcase the body.
Black full leather complements the interior.

Thanks and next I will remove fuse 22 for the engine sound...
