After lusting over the Vantage, I've decided to save my pennies and go after a used DBS coupe. Problem is, other than ths scarcity of manual tranny, I have heard the 2009 manuals have issues with their clutches. Most of it has to do with the clutches being squishy. I have not driven one to tell. Ideally a 2010 is better. I like the wheels on the 2010-2012 better than the wheels on the 2009. However, most of the manual coupes I have seen are always 2009. Have prices hit a low? When do you think DBS manuals can be had for under $100k?

I don't see them going down Iin value in the current market. However if overall demand for exotic cars is affected by wider market conditions then a DBS is more vulnerable imho than most other exotic brands.

In the UK for the last few years they have only been rising. Cant see that changing.

You don't have to be a rocket scientist to work it out

Supply and demand

There are so few for sale and values will rise as its a sellers market

They seem to be hot property atm

I doubt they will ever be what the F430 manuals have skyrocketed to. Those 10 year old cars have sold for what they were brand new. It's crazy.

Having had a 430 this makes no sense at all. It was a good car in its day but aged badly imho (looks and mechanics). Takes all sorts I suppose. I'd never buy mine back at used value, never mind new price!
