It's sad to hear; we mourn your loss. I hope the impending fight with your insurance company yields a decent result. As for other options, I'm not a fan of the Maserati GT. Coming out of a DB9, you're going to sit in it and instantly feel disappointed. If your budget has wiggle room, you might want to look at a Lexus LC500 (don't laugh, just drive one), maybe an SL63 AMG. For pure driving: Lotus Evora. The first gen Ferrari California is very "meh", even after the 2012 refresh, but the Cali T is a significant improvement. Hard to find a good one under 130k, though.
But, to be perfectly honest, if it was my car I'd do everything I could to get another Aston.

Thanks guys. I see what you are saying about the California looking like a re-skinned Maserati. I’m hoping the excitement factor of a Ferrari in the driveway will be unique for a while. Lotus is cool but beleive it or not I really need a backseat. Even such a tiny one because I do squeeze some kids there more often than not for short pickups around town. My options are really only the 911c a Bentley gt, AM or California…not sure what other real sport car options are out there for me.

I have a nice first year DB9 with about 17k miles AND A 6 SPEED MANUAL. Upgraded stereo that rivals the newer Bose, etc. It's tungsten/iron ore red. I'm about at that age that it might be time to let her go......Car is nicely sorted and everything works. PM me if interested
