abolfaz Report post Posted January 10, 2006 Aston can do no wrong lately. Except in the resale market... Used db9 coupes with less than 3k miles trading for under $125k! Dont ask where the 03 DB7 Volante prices are! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mako Report post Posted January 10, 2006 Except in the resale market... Used db9 coupes with less than 3k miles trading for under $125k! Dont ask where the 03 DB7 Volante prices are! Yes, and that's a new phenomenon too as previously the Vanquish was able to hold a better resale value than even the Ferrari 575M in that bracket. It must be the flood of cars in that $150-$200k range now, SO damn many. As you just found out... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

none Report post Posted January 10, 2006 Aston can do no wrong lately. Except in the resale market... Used db9 coupes with less than 3k miles trading for under $125k! Dont ask where the 03 DB7 Volante prices are! Where? I have been watching the used db9s, the few that there are, and have found 99% to be 10-15K less then new, the one or two deal cars all have a story or at least the ones I found. I am in the market for a new one and resale is always a concern but 155K for the autos looks to be the average used price.

abolfaz Report post Posted January 10, 2006 There is a 2500 mile car for $125k with no stories at the same dealer in Miami that just blew out the CHEAP gallardo SE. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
none Report post Posted January 10, 2006 Really! they must not be advertising it yet or I just missed it. 99% of the used ones I had found run $155-165K. I know the dealer your speaking of I will call tomorrow, Thanks. Here is all I had found in Miami http://used-cars.autos.yahoo.com/used-cars...-used-cars.html I was looking at a new one but not to have to take a bath on it latter.

My wife was going nuts for a db9 convertible, but after being advised of what they were going to give us for our near new db7 volante the Aston resale value thing really cooled my wifes jets off a bit...

none Report post Posted January 10, 2006 yea that is a bit of a let down for me as well, if its just the odd ball here and there that is one thing but a trend makes me reconsider and maybe hold out for one of those odd balls myself.
