The DB9 - are they reliable?

[jezzwelda]

I'm currently considering a DB9 - however the dealer has done nothing to alay my fears on reliability. Phrases like "well sir, you've got to remember it's a handbuilt car" and "mmmm 15,000 miles a year will make you one of our high mileage drivers" leave me feeling somewhat concerned.

My question is a simple one to other DB9 owners - is the car reliable?

Look forward to any feedback.

Thanks for all the comments boys. I've gone for the DB9 - now all I need to do is to find a way to get one in less that the 2 years the dealer has just quoted ! On the Vanquish/DB9 debate I just can't come to terms with the way the Vanquish's bodywork "bulges" ahead of the rear wheels - from some angles it just looks plain wrong. To add to this the V is simply not built to the same technological standards as the 9 which is put together in a brand new facility at Gaydon.

Thanks for all the comments guys - found a slot - ordered a 9 - November delivery ! Which only goes to prove that if you make a few calls you can get an Aston in a sensible time frame. All the best.
