Why so many Aston Martin DBS's for sale with 5000 miles?

Just noticed that there are a LOT of DBS's for sale with less than 5000 miles on the clock, some are 1500-2000 miles, not even run in!

I am scratching my head trying to work out *why*

The only obvious conclusion is:-

1) Bought to sell at a profit, and wanted to hoon around a bit first, but can't really afford the car.
2) It was crap.

More of #1 ?

theres 3-4x as many F430 for sale ...hows does that correlate statistically?

do their owners get more or less bored as quickly?

..I wouldnt jump to too many conclusions based on what cars are for sale on a motoring website LOL

Fair enough I understand.

I think my point was trying to work out why people would sell the car after such a short period of time, incurring huge depreciation, and have hardly even run the bloody thing in! So they wouldn't even have been able to enjoy it on the limit!

Just seems crazy to me. If I made a commitment to buy a car like that, I would have test driven it enough to ensure that I love it. Therefore parting with it would be very difficult. I can understand people upgrading, but if you buy a DBS V12 Volante, where do you go from there?

Just trying to understand the logic.
