This looks rather nice and it has been used too not some garage queen.

I wouldn't buy from them though... Last time I went the sales staff were extremely unhelpful and rude.

Happens to you a lot it seems confused

Joking aside, you're young and they're stupid. I struggled to find someone to sell me nice cars at your age too, sales staff haven't changed I guess.

The car is a beaut, would be my choice if I wanted an auto coupe. Shame they didn't come with a manual box, maybe it was offered but never taken. Mmm, sports pack cloud9

hmm, I think the red might be ok, need to see a full picture rather than attempted arty snippets as they normally seem to put up.

It looks good in person! Anyway, they'll paint it if you have an aversion to anything vaguely interesting in an interior... Oh, hi Neil wavey

They have the power output wrong, but that's a small point, the Le Man's was in essence a run out special edition, just before the improved 09my was launched. It has the SportPack and unique exterior paint colour and Interior wood ( etc). If you like the red touches and it is competitively priced it's a nice find, but personally I'd pay a little extra for the facelift 09MY.....

Have one and its fantastic. Was my second DB9 and could not believe how much better the build quality was. No rattles or faults since new and the TT2 software update significantly reduces wheel spin when booting it out of junctions etc. I was going to sell it last year but its just too good a car for the money I would get for her so shes a keeper. It is only 450bhp but quite honestly having driven the 470 car you cant tell the difference. The Original interior centre console switchgear isnt that user friendly but it looks great.I was going to swap the red panels for piano black but they are much better in the flesh than in any picture and kept them. I see they have now introduced the red piano option on new Vanquish so LM was ahead of its time !! There are only 66 left now as at least 1 has been written off. Great buy at that money IMO.

I have one as well. Tried a higher mile MY09 but no sports pack and the LM felt so much better. It felt more responsive than the MY09 for some reason. Love the interior colour which looks so much better in the flesh.. Maybe its the DB9 for those that dont yet have the pipe and slippers smile Mine was v low miles and gave lots of gearbox errors to start with but having done 12,ooo miles in a year its settled down very nicely. better a car thats used than a garage queen IMHO.
