Wow, 90k miles and it looks like the car has held up well! Not bad at all for a "super car"!

also goes to show you people sell cars in spite of themselves.... not a word about the car where the description usually goes? Who would spend $35k+ on any car let alone an AM with 90k miles where the seller doesn't offer a single word about the car or its history?

Parked on the front lawn (that needs mowing), terrible photo shot angles.... and no description. Looks like he thinks the car will sell itself

I also noticed that, although it is a 2005MY car, it has a different front bumper/valence and a newer 5-bar grille.

9th pictures down on the left column shows a close up of the grill.

Is it me but does it not look 100% lined up left and right where the bonnet meets the wings. (could not insert pic)

lol, some of you guys crack me up!

This car has covered 90k miles so we shouldn't expect it to be showroom! I just think its pretty cool that "supercar" reliability has gone up so much that we can put 90k on these cars fairly easily! Back in the 80's or even 90's this would be unheard of without really deep pockets! Pretty cool!

Not disputing that his ad is pretty laughable.. but hey its pretty cool seeing a 90k mile DB9 kicking around and still in pretty good shape.

First thing I look at is wheel condition. If they are curbed, I don't buy the car. Tell you a lot about the person driving it.
