My brother in law has offered me the chance to buy his DBS before he part exchanges it against a new AM.

My wife and I would love to buy it, and I would like to know what it'd be worth 'in the trade' or what it would retail for if sold by a private vendor.

Please help me to get some idea of the value of this car so that I can make him a realistic offer without falling out with him.

2009 Casino Royal grey auto with 5,800 miles. The car is unmarked and immaculate.

Thanks

Thank you. So his px figure is likely to be around £85K ?

He’s being a bit of a c**k. He seems to want me to make the first move. The sensible approach would be to tell me the px figure wouldn’t it?

So in the real world, would a dealer offer him £85k, £80k, £75k or less?

Wow! 2011 car, with warranty for £85,000 from Aston Martin. That'll kick my BIL in the nuts! I don't hugely value the low miles on his car as I understand that lack of use can be more harmful than getting out and driving the thing?

The numbers being suggested on here for me to offer him range from £62-85K which is a HUGE spread. I wish he'd just be transparent with me.

Isn't it a little bit warm this time of year to be doing that on start up (genuine question - not trying to be smart)?
I agree. 25 degrees and white smoke isn't right.

He's not on here, but the fact that he's saying make me an offer does confirm this assertion.

I light of the 2011 DBS up for £82,000 at AM Nottingham makes me inclined to offer him £72,000.
