Cheers Jockman - what I really to get an understanding for is how much the price should be because of the higher mileage. Looking at a 2011 DBS carbon black.

Use the other examples you've been given as a rationale for requesting a reduction in price. How much you get - if anything - will depend on your stubbornness.

If it's a Dealer you are trading with, be careful not to burn your bridges for the future. I'm guessing it may not be as they tend not to give 12 month warranties on a car that is still in its original warranty...you usually just get given the rest of it.

If you're anywhere near the North West, take Michael Gould with you - he'd get you that car for £85k and have the vendor sectioned within 24 hours. There's a bit of Jock in him

I cant guide you on that,I just simply would not spend 100k on any car with 30k miles on it ,I would buy a slightly older car with a lot less miles on it ,What I have found running a variety of supercars over recent years is mileage is king .

I agree with this.

If it must be this car i would think a good price for all would be around £90k max.

I think you are about right ,the 2011 carbon blacks with under 10k are about £100k (i think the non main dealer one could be bought for around 95k) so 90k absolute max for 30,000 miles,maybe even 85 ish?

I stand by the first part of my post, that is amazing.

Prices are not far from the prices last year so I was expecting that,there is no doubt the manual versions especially are going to be future classics.

Got mine 15 days ago, dec09 MY10, 4500km, auto, 108k£. Perfect car and the auto box personally I think is perfect for a DBS.....

Unfortunately not was slightly over but was the perfect car so worth bidding up.
