DB9 no service history

[Deano84]

Hello guys.

If a 2007 DB9 with 50k on the clock is worth roughly £42,000 retail with full history, how much do you think the same car would be worth with NO service history?

Just interested to get your thoughts......

Cheers.
Dean.

Thanks for the replies guys, I have always ensured every Aston I have owned in the past has a full main dealer service history (only owned vantage v8's), this car is available for a low price, it's just hard to put a value on what it's worth..... I know the lack of history would rule out 90 percent of buyers resale wise..... But I was just trying to gauge what the other 10 percent would think it's worth really, you are absolutely right, it is only worth what someone is prepared
to pay, risky game especially if something goes wrong.

Is the 140 point check more than a main dealer would do as part of a service (accepting the service would also change consumables like oil, filters etc)? I suspect a service checks less and would miss a number of things until they cause a failure. An MOT would also find various failing items but not all until they'd actually failed. The service history gives some peace of mind to the internals you can't see but probably not a lot more that a thorough inspection can't reveal. For instance who cares if the pads were worn down and scored the discs if both have now now been replaced whereas running on 4 year old oil is causing hidden wear.

Like others have suggested, I'd be looking for a plausible reason why there's no history.

Apparently the history is with a London dealer, which they are trying to track down... its a Footballers car, owned since 2009 and they have lost it.

The car is available for circa £28,000.

I purchased a 2006 db9, 30k with full history and full Aston 12 month warranty. I had the dealer agree in writing that I would have the car examined by an independent specialist after purchase and that they would cover the cost of all required repairs. When I picked up the car it drove beautifully. I had It for a wek and almost didn't bother taking it for its engineers assessment as it was so nice to drive. Imagine my surprise when the engineer found £11k worth or work which was required to bring the car back up to scratch. Deal tried to buy car back from me but I decided to hold them to their promise rather than sell car back. after a few letters they paid for the work to be done. Remember, this was a car with lower mileage and full aston history. Just because it drives nicely, doesn't mean there isn't a lot of work needed to put it back into the condition you should try and keep these cars in.

OP said it was a 2007 car owned by a footballer since 2009. Any ideas which player ? Could twitter this footballer and ask if he had many issues with the car, where he bought it from and where it was serviced during his ownership.

I nearly bought a 2006 DB9 Volante in November 2013. it had done +- 50,000 miles had full service history (some independent), couple of small issues - scratch on rear panel and two tyres due shortly. It was a private sale, car was sold for £30k, that after the seller had agreed a deal with me the day before for £29.5k but then went ahead and sold it the following day. That was after he text me in the evening having agreed the deal and said not to bother with the depsoit i had offered to transfer over that day.

I reckon there's more discount to be had on the car the OP is talking about.

I think I remember your car being advertised, was it a Black and owned by a doctor? That's an amazing price.

I emailed the seller when the advert was listed, regarding the missing history etc but it's no longer for sale and the advert has been withdrawn.
