Help and advice please,my mates looking……….

[Ed50]

Hi All,

My mate is currently considering adding to his stable and has been lurking whilst considering a DB9,he's found one he likes the look of in the classified ad's and is now looking
for a bit of help and advice regarding this particular example.

It looks magnificent in the pictures and he's at a point of making a very long journey to take a closer look but would appreciate any feed back from the forum prior to the trip,does anyone
know the car or its background or indeed the vendor who is a new one to us.

Please have a look and tell us what you think,its the Torro Red DB9 Coupe being advertised at Richtoy Motorsport in Shorpe.

www.richtoy.co.uk

At 45k he's not really baulking but is thinking about AM Warranties and independent inspections etc as add on's which all run expensive considering the vendor wants to hold firm currently on his pricing.

It would be a straight forward cash purchase so any thoughts on where to pitch a fair price beings it not at a AM Dealership although the price would make you think so.

Any thoughts,advice and help regarding the vehicle 'warts and all' along with any inspection suggestions would be a great help thank you.

One last thing please,what is the aluminium square panel in the boot………..,it's got me beat.

The advert claims it's got Venture Shield,but it doesn't say where or how much and when it was applied.

All in all I bet your right hence we are hoping to find someone that knows of the car as like you can see the pictures are very tempting.

We flat landers know little of this magic they call photoshop…..

Thank you Ben for your helpful insight .

I can't currently raise my mate but I will when he surfaces pass on your comments and those previously posted by the forum at large.

I do however believe that the vendor has spoken with my friend at the point of his initial enquiry and that was were the rigidity in price came from,also I don't believe he was made aware
that it was a personal car of the Company Director,but that I will need to clarify.

I must admit the motorcar looks mint in the pictures but at 45k it is still leaning heavily toward the top end of AM Dealership territory,if sensible common ground regarding the price
was in the offering maybe a ride out would be in order but not as it currently stands at the 45k.

If as the dealer mentioned it was fresh to stock and hence his price stance it may well get written down as the weeks go by unless of course a gung-ho must have it walks into
the show room laden with cash….

Stalemate is reached in running 9 saga…...

The interested party stands firm that the car is not worth the 45k asking price…………..

The dealer stands firm with his 45k asking price…………..

My mate now reverts to the classifieds in search of a new brolly……...

Thanks Steven,

I'll tell him but he's a fussy old goat and is looking for something in an unusual colour combination preferably with a light interior.

He likes the idea of a red one and has been taken with a couple he's seen at Smith's……….
