Yes, I was checking yours out and the color matches a DBS for sale in Canada. Very nice combo.

DBS and Vantage are not the same color. DBS is Aston Martin Green (very rare), and Vantage is Alloro?

Agreed. I imagine the shadow package and anthracite wheels are also rare. Check out it this interior! How many S models came with the 2+2 option like the DB9? A handful maybe...?

Seriously, by the time I flew out to Los Obispo I was surprised it was still available. Did you have a chance to look at it?

Bought a ticket over that weekend and was told by the sales manager on Monday morning the car was sold..

Congrats! Glad to see you're enjoying it.

Not to hijack this awesome thread. I was hoping you guys could give me some pricing advice. I was looking at getting a Vantage, but I've been looking at this DB9 2005 and it's just out of this world beautiful. I was thinking of looking at it this weekend. It's a manual db9 and I've driven about 6-7 vantages, but never a DB9. I know different cars, but I think I'm more in love with the marquee than anything else. Sorry I'll get to the point.

The one I'm looking at is a 2005 DB9 with 52k miles. Which I know is really high. The asking price is 49k In fact it's one of the db9's that was mentioned in this thread. Does that price with the mileage seem a tad high? I'm thinking it should be priced around 44k-45k with that many miles. Wanted your guys thoughts though first. Thanks all! Cheers!

I wouldn't say that price is too out of line. I think the price would be more dependent on the overall condition of the car, and options, more so than just the mileage.

I also wouldn't be discouraged by the mileage if you want to drive the car regularly. Some people want a "low mile car", but some people want a car they can put miles on guilt free.

I believe this is my former DB9 your talking about currently listed for sale in San Los Obispo, CA. Trust me, If I had the cash I'd buy it back in a heart beat. Feel Free to PM me if you have any questions. I'd be happy to fill you in...
