Would you buy


Dnk

Recommended Posts

I agree with the looks being one of the best be it a hardtop or soft top, my question is would you buy one

with 100,000 miles or 160,000 km on it ?

 

If you were buying it to hold onto for many years and were getting it for a snip, then I would say yes. If you've any interest in resale value, I'd say no. People have a mini heart attack when there is a few miles on anything exotic, due to the cost of spares and I'd imagine the car would have limited appeal within an already niche market.

 

I appreciate you might not want to share a link etc. but is there significant saving vs. a DB9 with average mileage?

I'll pop the link up no problem.

 

Around £10k cheaper than one with half the miles but similar age

 

I would say yes dunk it is a stunning car and if it's got a nice folder of history then it's most likely that not many parts on the car have seen all 100k miles.

Stunning car but I don't think I've ever bought a car with more than 50k miles on it and certainly wouldn't with such a specialist car. If it was cheaper and a forever 3rd car then maybe, but I like to use my cars not just look at them and worry when they'll go wrong.

Is it this one dunk? http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=261897877957

 

Looks lovely. Tbh if you go for that it's the best car I've seen you interested in so far looking at your other thread!

 

Yes Jason that's the car, to be honest its a bit out of reach really and the 100,000 does worry me a bit but boy does

it tick every box otherwise :)

I wouldn't buy one without a comprehensive warranty, same goes for most things now if there upwards

of £20k, i spoke to a Merc dealer about a £25k SL350 and they were prepared to put 2 years of top

warranty cover on it but the part ex money i was offered was dire so i'll need to shift my BM privately

Are you on some sort of medication? Get real, they are total disaster areas.

I dread to think how little that thing probably stands them at :)

They are REALLY BAD NEWS Dunc!!

 

A guy I know blew so much money on one he was nearly suicidal. In

part ex the trade were offering him so little he felt like burning it.

 

 

But I am talking to a gentleman with a Range Rover, so all bets are off ;)

You understand troublesome vehicles!

The DB9, terrible things. Reliability apart, even David Niven would

be hard pressed to look anything other than a spiv in one, especially

a convertible :) Like a Continental GT convertible, the play things of

monosyllabic footballers ;)

 

Now, a Bentley Mulliner Park Ward Continental with "Chinese"

headlights, that's a gentleman's car.

But bin the white walls, very "American", very vulgar!

 

If you must pretend you are in the south of France:

Glad you said that Chris. My dad has always wanted an Aston Martin but could never afford one but now he's thinking about it I don't want him falling into any pits! I think it would be a v8 vantage. Please tell me they are better than the db9 lol
