DBS Questions

[So_poo]

Looking for some guideance from DBS owners please?

Seriously looking at 2010 and 2011 DBSs - but is there any actualy spec difference to 09, 10 ,11 models? Must have's are +2 seating and AM Warranty - but other than that I'm pretty flexible. Although the spec seems similar on most.

I also been told the warranty renewal is £2200 - is that correct on the DBS?

For anyone who has just sold one, what are these trading in at at the moment?

I'm kind of struggling to see the differences too - thanks for those bits though.

Prices definitely holding well on these, just wondering what the spread is on trade-in vs retail.

AM wilmslow offered me 71k a few weeks back for my 08 manual with 15k miles if that helps,and Ive been chased by them and a couple of other dealers for it,so the market is strong for them at the moment.

Wilslow is my local dealer - don't think they had one in stock when I was last there. Thats low miles for an 08 car. Most 10 and 11 plate cars have that sort of miles on them.

Can't use it as much as I like,it's a weekend toy .

Mine will be too. Found a nice 11 plate in Cheltenham - just can't get my head round pricing them. Specs are all similar, yet prices really vary.

I took the plunge after a year or so of searching for a 2+2 manual, which meant waiting for a MY2010 onwards. I think I'm right in saying there were no mechanical differences. The main differences being diamond turned alloys (much nicer IMHO) B+O sound system (not sure it sounds any better as I'd rather listen to that V12, but the pop up speakers look cool) and the option of 2+2 and auto. I was invited to a test drive a V12 vantage S and enquired about trade in value and a figure of around 90k was mentioned. That was what I paid over a year ago. Flappy paddles not my thing so I'm sticking with the DBS. I don't think these will appreciate anytime soon and will quite possibly lose some in the near term but given their relatively small production numbers and the fact it's Aston's last V12 manual, I would, maybe optimistically, think that any depreciation to be fairly small. Look at original Vanquish prices and I know which car I'd put my money on.

The new alloys are certainly nicer - thats a nice car you got yourself there.
