Where are DBS values going?

That's very true matey, but I'm surrounded by others that have relatively low mileage, so I do have the perception of it being well used. In reality, I don't care as this will very much be a keeper (seem to remember saying that about the last one....). Anyway, more importantly, when are we going to see you back in one? I miss you. Actually, that's not true, I miss your wife.

You wouldn't say that now if you could see what I can see !!!! Remember I'm 2 hours ahead of you in Turkey

I'm loving the Vauxhall corsa at the moment. I even had a jag undercut me in slow moving traffic the other day and give me the finger.....the same guy that gave me a wave when I was in the DBS. One day I will week my wewenge as they say on slackbladder

Does anyone buy a fooookin Astom Martin for the love of it anymore ????

If you need the money I can advise you on an investment that will give you minimum 25% return, otherwise just enjoy the damn thing.

We can't all afford to simply buy something because we love it, sometimes they have to make financial sense (as much as any car can) too!

I love astons, I'd buy a brand new aston every time a new model came out, but alas I cannot afford to, so finance has to be considered. If you are one of the lucky few who can afford not to be concerned as such, I envy you!

25% minimum return eh, do share.

[Jockman]

Apologies Vinnie if I came across in an obtuse manner

[Jockman]

Oh yes, the most obvious 25% return is the lifetime ISAs available next year for your kids. And of course if you're lucky enough to be under 40 yourself

Absolutely. I need to hear the unabridged version of Monaco and Steves stag do. Hookers and coke if I'm not mistaken.

Only the fools who buy new ones and take the initial hit for others - Oh that's me but at least we enjoy driving our cars

However, anyone buying a DBS would struggle to lose much on it - but please use it!

Well said Ian. You're in the same boat as Mikey.

I never bought my Astons for financial gain. I just loooooooved the feeling of owning them and driving them, albeit badly

Your bloody right there Phil, on all counts!

Thanks!

2009 car from a main delaer. Tiptronic, ~41k miles, Onyx black with black leather/alcantara with red stitching, 10 spoke alloys.

It's also getting a Quicksilver supersport exhaust fitted by the dealer prior to delivery too.

Let the countdown begin!

Good man, sleepless nights now then! I sympathise, I had a similar wait for mine, it's exhausting!! Also have Quicksliver on mine. Piccies when you pick it up, it's the law.

Will definitely post pics when it's here!

How do you find the exhaust? I was a little apprehensive about getting it because I've not driven a car with it but only heard one revving. How do you find living with it?

Going from a 2005 DB9 to the DBS, so am very excited!
