DBS Bargain Basement

[toofastforme]

Not that I'm in the market, but why is this DBS so cheap ... relatively speaking?

I'd suspect it is a typo on the price?

I like that colour.

That's a cracking car for the money, tempest blue is stunning.

FFS, suicide black AGAIN

[silverspeed]

Can't see any B& O on the car even though it's listed?

According to their ad on Autotrader its done 49,500 miles.

Then suddenly the ad makes a lot more sense... and that is a bargain for a barely-run-in V12 engined car

Mmm, Tempest Blue...

Also according to the link above

As Yeti implies, higher mileage than some but not even a third of its way through its 'expected life' - nice colour too !!

Was B&O even available at this date ???

Four years old and about to be due its fifth service. Ideal for somebody maybe doing a low mileage 5/6k pa and interested in experiencing a manual. All known issues should have been well sorted out by now

In my view the sign of things to come. With the new vanquish out and the new plate prices of these seem likely to fall, until they reach collector status then they'll rocket up.

Also I am sure many will argue that the vanquish is a better car and actually new, whereas many always saw the DBS as a DB9S which never really helped them in the marketing in my view. Too man cars in too few segments, especially with the Virage as well. So now they are making more sense:

Quirky: Cygnet
Entry: Vantage
Entry with OOMMMPPPHH: Vantage S
Seriously Sporty: V12 Vantage
GT with a bit of sport: DB9
Got Kids or love to share: Rapide
Top: Vanquish
Superrich footballer or oil baron: One-77

I think that's the politest description of the dreadful overpriced tarted up Toyota I've ever heard!

Ad did say 6,300 miles to begin with.
