Hey guys. This post is about two weeks late but Ive been so slammed with work Ive had zero time for anything else. I don't even have any decent pics to show you but what I have I will share.

After 1.5 years of owning my DBS and loving it I stumbled across a local car that I could not pass up. Its a 2009 DBS Casino Royal w/3500 miles. The car is the most cleanest example Ive seen. Never seen rain and always garaged.

I didn't waste any time. Bought that bad boy, brought it home, swamped all my mods over and put my 2009 Tungsten silver DBS car up for sale. Sold in two weeks to a happy local buyer.

Some side by side pics below at my friends dealership that helped me sell my car. It was sad to see her go but happy to enjoy my new ride! Ill have my PUR wheels on on the next week and post some better pics.

 

Oh boy you lucky dog. I love the DBS. Are they both sticks?

Nice. Damn those DB9/DBS cars look INCREDIBLE! Enjoy in great health.

 

Great buy from the sounds of it, and both cars are 110% in the looks dept! So was it the color or the mileage you bought it for? Or paddles? Curious to know why you stayed at the same year. At least when I bought my DB9 after the V8VR I went down a year

Seems like a very small change...gray to gray.

 

Thank you! Both are auto

 

My car was approaching 20k miles and I bought it with 7k. I wanted to replace it before the 20k mark. Also, I always wanted a Casino Royal DBS and the only year they made it was 2009. I found the car locally and got a very good deal so I could not pass it up.

 

What a car, and what an upgrade. Enjoy it!

 

Just to be accurate, there have been several 2010 Casino Royale DBS's for sale, so it was not a 2009-only color. And although I've not personally seen any for sale, I suspect there must be at least some 2011 and 12 CRs around, given the ability of customers to order any color they want from Aston's huge palette.

 

Casino Royal is a 2009 exclusive color. You could get it as a custom color in any year when ordering new from Aston but Aston only built 2009 Casino Royal DBS's as a general production. Are you sure you are not thinking of quantum silver which was made in all the years?

 

No confusion. I have several 2010 DBS's in Casino Royale in my data base.

 

Are those custom orders? How many 2010s do you show vs 2009s?

 

I have 15 2009s (of 85) and 5 2010s (of 72) in CR. That's what I have in my data base of 240 US cars for sale (2009-2012), not what was actually produced for the USA which is obviously much more if you figure 30%-40% of the 3500 cars came here (1050-1400). So, if you assume similar percentages, you'd have around 80-100 CR cars. All just a guess, of course.

And this does not include the ROW where any shade of gray is even more popular than here.

 

Very interesting information. I personally have never seen any year but a 2009 in Casino Royal and when I was doing my research looking up different paint colors for different years only 2009 comes up with a Casino Royal Paint code. Again very strange but your the one with the registry so.... Learn something new every day!

 

XJRS Owner, was there really only 240 DBS cars imported to the use between 2009 and 2012?
