Keep persevering. You might well find a few more come on to the market in the next few months as people trade-up to a DB11

That's a really good point Rob, something I had not considered.

I don't think December is the best month for buying either. I started looking in July / Aug and the volume was much higher (although my funds were much lower).

Just a tidy manual DB9 in a nice colour and good history is all I am after.

Can't afford a V12V ...

I dunno', guys that own manual DB9s are they likely to trade in for an automatic DB11? Seems like those who like manuals stick with 'em.

Auto technology has come a long way since the DB9 ...

Anyway, I am unsure whether to keep searching for a DB9 or look for an early 4.7 Vantage (just coming into budget in manual).

I feel like I am scraping for a DB9 and the running costs will be significantly higher where as I can look at AM "Timeless" for my budget and in V8 form.

I won't drive the car much really, there is only my partner and I, my thinking was we could buy and keep the DB9 of we have a family / 4 seats etc but in reality I am going to put a baby or young child in the back of my AM ... Probably not.
