Db9.2 or DBS

[avinalarf]

Given the choice between a 2013 DB9.2 Volante at £120K mileage 11K.....or a 2011 DBS Volante at £115K mileage 4K....which would you go for.
If nothing else I presume the DBS would hold it's money better.
I will be surprised if the majority will not say DBS !

I just love that DBS. Just a pity I can't afford one.
Very envious.

If I were in the market for an auto I would wait for the Vanquish Volante to get down to the sort of figures you mention

DB9.2 without question! Possibly the most perfect car on sale today

Me too I think, the DB9 is sufficiently hard-edged for normal road use.
While a more select car, the DBS may not necessarily be as rewarding all of the time.

Or this a possibly the perfect compromise http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/a...

DBS if manual... If not an option then the 9.2

Hello Avin,

Neither.

Perhaps consider an alternative. A delivery mileage Vanquish for £96,000.

Just have to take it to a 'back street' for a rear bumper.

It is white though, so you will never speak to George again.

Which is a bonus, of course

DB9.2 and a trip to Bamford Rose
Nice looking and more power & torque than a DBS

Not everyone wants to modify their car... Plus it has the same power and more torque as standard.

Thats a toughee,,,,Going back 3 years, the car I was dreaming about was the DBS (I think I still do occassionally, weird). By the time I was ready to put down a deposit, early 2013, the new model DB9.2 was available. The new generation DB9.2 engine/performance, new exterior shape, interior and exterior options list, plus I could choose the colours of both, persuaded me to spend the extra dosh. Some very nice videos here: http://www.astonmartin.com/live/videos


BUT.....the DBS is and always will be just a bit special, innit.

DB9.2 It won't wake up the neighbours when you start up in the morning

[ds2000]

It's a tough one. The DBS will hold its value better I'm sure..... However if you're actually going to drive the thing then I think the DB9.2.....
