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?

There is a difference between say a 2008 to a 2012 model
The later model having the later Garmin and auto only
Better tyre monitor.
Can't see much more differences however I'm sure there are.
I was offered a good p/x on my 08 model so prices are still firm.

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.

I think the market will remain strong for the foreseeable future.
With the preowned Vanquish circa £140K for coupe and £180/190 for Volante the DBS is the car of choice for performance and vfm.
It's all down to how good the new range is perceived BUT I fear a considerable hike in prices.

Shame it's not a volante otherwise I'd have it off you for that price.
I do love the wind blowing thru my hair.

Surely "one careful owner" makes it desirable smile ...as well as the manual gearbox. My choice of paddles was partly made by the fact I live in what's known as inner London nowadays and hence wouldn't use the car so much due to the slow moving traffic, but I definitely see the increasing allure (and value) of the manual V12 cars, especially the DBS, over the coming years...

Volantes are pretty but the "wind in the hair" thing only works if you have the hair, which pretty much counts me out!

OK,OK......No need to get bolshie.
I didn't realise you could get 52K miles out of an Aston.
I make you a fair offer for your car that's knackered and all I get is abuse.
And that's the second time in a week you've made cruel jibes about my lack of locks.

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.

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.

Its lovely but how much is that low mileage costing? 10/15k.
