Anybody fancy a 510 bhp DB9?

[brakedwell]

I was surprised to see this 2013 DB9 for sale at my local dealer.

OK. I'll bite.

Whats the problem?

Glad to see that it's a manual.

Amazed it's being sold as used with 100 miles on the clock. Did someone buy it, get it registered and then decide he hated it on the first day?

How can a new model appear so soon as a used car in such an unusual colour for a "factory spec" car?

It says that it has manual transmission.

It is just a preregistered car
It being sold used for that reason

This ^^

Thats not a good sign though that early in to the launch. If its only just arrived at least run it as a demo for 3 months. Looks like its full list though?

The factory have a habit of doing rather attractive deals on cars registered in September (Like mine last year!)
Dealer probably bought it significantly reduced and is selling it NOT significantly reduced

It looks to me like they are looking for full list price and see this as there way of getting into public domaine that they have a new car for sale - but advertise it as used!

I was in Grange Exeter yesterday and they had a Quantum Coupe with tan interior that was on sale for around £140k. Also had a MF White Volante with a black interior (I think) but didn't ask they price on that one. Both unregistered. IMO both are good value compared to the outgoing Virage/DBS. Just as well I have my V12VR on order otherwise I could have been very tempted by the Volante

I've had the full MY13 option price list for quite a while now :-) It consists of Rapide, Vanquish, DB9, V8 & V12 Vantage, with volante/roadster options for all bar Rapide & Vanquish

I can check it out tonight and post the more interesting options/prices. This car has an exterior carbon pack from memory when I looked at it last night - that was somewhere between 3 & 5k

When I tried to spec my V12VR in Ceramic Grey, the option wasn't available on the system for any car. Apparantly even for very oddball, infrequently used colours, including those of other manufacturers, there is normally an option on the system but as CG was only ever part of DBS 'Carbon II' edition, it was never there

Took a while for it to become an option on the system (they claimed they had to check DuPont could produce more)but there was a Vanquish customer and myself pushing so it became live. Perhaps now it's on, we'll see a few more cars in that colour - it's on this DB9 and the European pre-prod V12VR show car. Classed as a 'previous colour' when I ordered my car so £2.5k but these things do change - 'special colour' for instance is 3.5k

MANUAL TRANSMISSION ?

Perhaps Harwoods are going to fit a V12V gearbox to this car, to make their description correct.

amazing how often, perhaps as a result of the myriad of flappy options available on cars now, dealers & classified ads get this wrong on all manner of cars including Aston. For example the PH Classified section has a vanquish (the orginal vanquish) listed as manual but which has clearly from the photos not had the 'orthodox manual' conversion - in that instance of course, flappies arguably could be called automated manual
