I see there is only one DBS Manual for sale on pistonheads, the automatic price seems to have moved on too.

They've gone to the same place that the V12 Vantages (also manual) have gone... to people like myself who've realised that demand is far outstripping supply. Which means to fulfil our dreams of buying these future classics we've had to step up and put our money where our mouth is. biggrin

Of course even the Automatic DBS models are gaining in popularity no doubt to (what some would say) is the best looking modern day Aston and of course the Bond connection (despite him driving the manual). Having driven the DBS I'd say it's a great GT. You shouldn't wait too long to pick one up...

My advice if you're looking for a DBS Manual is to contact the Astond dealers and have them contact you as soon as they know of a new one up for sale to your specs. It took me three attempts to get my V12V as other people kept beating me to it. Good luck! smile

But they are always selling at a big discount to the autos, any reason for this discount (or premium for the autos, to put it another way)...?

I actually managed to bag a second DBS last week with 17k black on black bit of a bargain. I was going to keep it and sell my other one which has 25k on the clock also black on black, but not sure whether to keep them both now at least to see where things go

Upon looking again I see you are right. It was last year I was looking hard and the manuals were always cheaper. Now I can only find one on the market (2009 - 13k miles £89,995).

That car has been on the market for quite some time, anyone know if there is a particular reason for that?

I was speaking to someone the other day and he said he has a manual DBS in either quantum or casino (can't remember which) with only 1100 miles on the clock. I did say to him that I would know a few people that would give it a home if he wanted to get rid of it.
