DBS with low mileage but 4 owners

[DBSV8]

What would the advice be on a late DBS 2010/11 with less than 30k but 4 owners full AM service history

Any concerns advise ?

Thanks

People buying with grand ambitions...then finding out the tax, insurance and fuel costs.

I'm the sixth owner of my V8V -
2006-2012: 4 owners
2012-16: guy before me
2016-18: me

I don't think there's necessarily anything sinister, as long as you get it checked over. Have a good look at the mileage between services, chat to whoever has been servicing it and get an idea that way.

No issues at all. Very common.

No issue but needs to be priced accordingly. If / when you get rid of it you can bet that the dealer will say too many owners to retail ourselves..

Very common. I wouldn't worry about it. If you buy the car then research and detail the full ownership history. When i bought mine it had 4 owners and when I looked into it only two were long term. The first being Aston Martin who kept it for 4 weeks and then the 3rd owner only kept it for 4 months during the summer before selling it on.

I wouldn't call 30k miles low, hence 4 owners each with 8k miles would be quite normal. I've seen lots of truly low mile DBS models with multiple owners, but that wouldn't put me off in the least. At 30k miles, it should be well and truly sorted.

If the condition is really good, then four owners means nothing.

Cars of this type, particularly during the first couple of years, are often owned by people who only keep their cars for a short time.
I guess they need the buzz of replacing what they already have, with the next car that excites them.

Mine had three owners in the first 2 years. The owner before me made the mistake after just six months, of popping in to the main dealer for a chat about something. Before he knew what was happening, he had bought a new Aston Martin.

If there is not even a scuff on the interior of the car that you are interesred in, then each owner was probably a careful type.

30 miles isn;t low for a DBS, I'd say that average if not actually a little high. Also quite common for a flagship car to have that many owners, if not more! A lot of people wouild buy new and keep for a year or less than move on to something new. With these sort of cars it happens a lot that people, don't use a lot and move them on for the first couple of years.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a DBS with half the miles and more owners so don't think you've anything to worry about GET IT AND ENJOY

Cars like this are luxuries, some people are wealthy enough to trade them at will for whatever other car they feel like driving while for others they're the first thing that goes if they need money. I'm the 3rd owner of my Vanquish and that'd be the average for a 2013.

My 2010 dbs has 3 owners when I purchased this past April and 20k miles, although I would’ve rather had 1 owner it didn’t deter me and it has treated me well!

[vpr]

30k miles not low especially for a car of this type

In terms of number of owners I always look at owners vs age. You'll be the 5th. Personally I'm not keen on lots of owners but I guess you could say lots of people liked it

... or sold it on because they couldn't live with it!
Only joking, it wouldn't put me off one bit.
Some owners do like a change.
Mileage seems OK to me too.
