Hi

Just looking to purchase a 2009 DB9. Can anyone recommend someone to do an inspection before I commit?

Thanks

Bamford Rose. They inspected my car just before the warranty expired. Found thousands of pounds worth of issues that AML fixed under warranty. Well worth the price tag.

Thanks guys, I’ve been in touch with Bamford Rose today.

The car is in Grimsby not Lincoln as I thought.

It has sports pack wheels on, I’ve seen posts saying I can check if it has the actual sports pack by checking the vin number. Is there somewhere I can check this or will it be a specific format?

Warwickshire to Grimsby, that's a trek.

Faced with a similar issue I contacted an AM dealer who'd do it for about £408 but they wanted the car in their workshop, which is awkward when you'd have to borrow it from the seller, and in a lockdown.

No reply to a few emails and a couple of voicemails left at Bamford Rose. So I’ve asked Chiltern Aston.

What do you guys think of them, any good?

A great looking car with the best wheels for that model in my opinion.

I hope you have as many enjoyable miles driving yours as I do mine
