I have just been looking at DBS prices. It seems to me now that good 09 plates are £85k at dealers so I guess bids around £70- £75K whilst annoying are looking realistic.
I have just been bid on my V12V and it was not what I had hoped!
This seems a nice car..I have just been bid on my V12V and it was not what I had hoped!

I was thinking about chopping my V12V in for an older DBS and getting the wife a Freelander.

I seem to remember you bought yours from JCT at almost the same time as I bought my meteorite V12V - in fact I remember the two cars were side by side in the showroom at the time. Bit surprised to hear your dissapointed with your bid - I was delighted with the bid I recieved on mine. Was it JCT who bid?

A gentleman and a scholar. All things to all men, but apparently only some things to a few women. The nemesis to all that exist on a budget, the epitome of northern arriviste money and yet with an undercurrent of gritty realism. And he looks like James Bond according to Pommehogster

We all know you're the international spy Yeti, drop the act of blaming it on other people.
As I noted in another thread, you seem to tick a lot of boxes. Travels away a lot, drives a Lotus Esprit/submarine, an Aston, has a penchant for Omega watches and Martinis... Need I say much else?

PauloV12V do you think the DBS is better than your V12V ? Have you driven the DBS?
Hi Paul,No I have not had the pleasure of driving the DBS.
I am guessing it will not have the grip, raw feeling of power and cornering of the V12V which is a delight.
The benefit I was looking is that its got four seats. Or at least enough space for a small child/ well behaved dog! And I may have spare cash to get the wife a freelander.
Adam, I have not been accurately bid on the car other than JCT being told its value is in the 90s as its only done 3000 miles.
Its a fair comment people saying that DBS prices have further south to go versus the V12.
Regs all,
Just off to Ripley castle for some petrol head nirvana as the suns out!

I think a figure in the 90's is fair enough for a trade in on a 2yr old car, don't you? Bear in mind any dealer will mark it up by £10k to sell.Adam, I have not been accurately bid on the car other than JCT being told its value is in the 90s as its only done 3000 miles.
I have to say I think you are kidding yourself if you believe the DBS has 4 seats. Try sitting in one with a small child behind you and then adjust the seat to a normal driving position without crushing their legs. It would have to be a VERY small child to work, but I can see this might work on the passenger side, if not the drivers side.
Slades had a similar car which sold within a week

Pretty crazy.
Especially given what you can get Vanq II's for now which, by all accounts, is a far superior car.

I guess it's that gearbox that seems to be holding up the prices.
Good luck to them if they can get that money for it
