Was at a party this afternoon and for some inexplicable reason the conversation turned to Astons... (possibly because of the one parked outside)
Anyway, someone said that a very rich chap in possibly Russia or China had bought up a huge number of DB9s and resold them cheap to crash the values because he didn't like Aston Martin for some reason. I can't see how a flood of cheap DB9s is going to bother the company, but how much of the story is true - is it partly b
ks or 100% bks?

where are these cheap DB9s?? I'd buy one...
..but why would a car manufacturer care too much for the values of cars it once made a long time ago??
Either high or low, it matters not to their business of selling new cars (albeit AM Heritage has always made a profit remaking older Astons, but thats not he point)

But if you were in the market for a used DB9, my good friend Vladimir Wong may be able to help...
As cheap as £16K, according to my informant yesterday, who was going to buy one for £25K until the seller told him it was only worth £16K so couldn't sell it to him. That didn't make sense yesterday and it still doesn't...Simpo Two said:

That probably counted as a sale, but the timings don't align with DB9.

Was his name something like "wistec1", by any chance?

I noticed he was absent from the GG article on Valhalla LTP. I guess the majority of posts were quite positive as indeed were the video reviews mentioned elsewhere, so perhaps for once he decided his oft-repeated tale of woe wasn’t appropriate this time?
