Your spot on with all your comments , iv owned my db9 from new for 20 years now , always knew when I bought it , I was buying it for life , my headliner gave way so had to get that refitted by a specialist , renewed all the front leather as the sun shrunk it as you said aswell as the rear parcel shelf as that also shrunk from sun damage , change my ski slope to bamboo 2 years ago as the original walnut cracked and came away , one little tip always look at the read button as if it’s worn out its owners pressing it every time they start the car to clear the warnings on the dash board , I would recommend anyone who likes astons to look at the db9 as in general it’s very robust , be careful though to make sure it doesn’t tick once properly warmed up as that could be a £20k at worst repair bill . I service mine every other year by a specialist , currently I’m on 65k miles ( loved everyone of them ) . I drive it to Spain every few years to my home there just for the sheer fun factor . Great car ❤️❤️❤️
Had my DB9 Volante for two years now. Biggest cost as you say are the coil packs as they are not easy to get at. Changing the plugs at the same time. Only other cost I have incurred is a new radiator. One other common issue, that I have also, is the infamous 'window drop' problem. Not sure if its low battery, although I have it on a Ctek trickle charge when not in use. Could be the regulator itself. All in all, it is a fabulous car. Only problem really is that when you are driving it, you can't look at it!
As a V8 Vantage owner of 4 years, your points cover very well. Overall these are very usable cars. You can see the ones which are well looked after. Buy well and maintain it and you will never regret it. As they age, theres a much better understanding of them and a bigger supply of parts... ie genuine Brembo brake pads from autodoc at a 3rd of the price of the Pagid ones!.
@@craigelam6830 The body is a mixture of Aluminium, magnesium and composite. The corrosion is not solely related to the front wings, it can happen on any surface and often does. It’s not rust as we know it, it’s to do with the paint process.
So it's nothing to worry about regarding body structure but related to coating and can be solved ? I know a car paint specialist which works on exotic cars but not sure if Aston has special coatings and if this can be solved ehile keeping original paint look.
Always wanted one …the only caveat is the hearsay about 3-4 time the cost of parts compared to say a Porsche … and obviously the mechanics being aware of the parts cost … for some reason do the same for the hourly fee Maybe it’s just a myth
@@andrearibi932 no, they’re not really any more expensive than any premium brand. Many independents available to service and maintain them rather than main dealer.

They’re great value now at under £30k and will do huge mileage if kept well serviced 👍
Is niet veel kilometers,ik heb in. Vier jaar 70.000km gereden en ook alles okee
Excellent and very helpful video...Absolutely stunning car!
You’re welcome 👍

Lovely car and great vid, what is the economy like on the v12's? How many lamp posts to the gallon?
All depends on how you drive it Ian 😂
Another great vid Kev was aware of you through Paul Thorpe stuff really like the car vids informative with no pretentious BS keep um coming
Thanks, Adrian, I hope you have subscribed to the channel 👍
Thank you so much for sharing this! I am about to buy one and this was very helpful.
Pleased to be of assistance. Shame you’re not buying from me 😉
Loved my 2009 DB9 with the crystal key - every time I drove it I felt very privileged! 😎
Great video, thank you
Great car, as the owner of Db9 took it to Aston Installations they turned my car from a great car into an awesome one! Really recommended.
There should be zero corrosion on the front wings as they're composite....
Is that meteriorite grey? Was looking at vantages after seeing how affordable they became. Might get one in silver or this nuce grey like your db9
Great video. How much would a 2007 vantage v8 clutch will cost to replace?
@@edwinthomas618 depends who does it and wether you go single or twin plate. I haven’t ever needed to change one but I’d budget circa £2.5k
The front wings are fibreglass, so i dont see how they corrode round the strakes or repeaters

Hi Kevin I am interested in your views about the Vanquish 1 (2001~2007) and sourcing good one ?
@@watchman2263 best to call me for a chat or send an email with your requirements 👍
@@streamcarsbagshot ok thanks will do

What sort of cost and I get a good Aston Martin for? Just looking for an approximate figure
35 k is a good starting point for a 2007 DB9 or V8V which is very well looked after with under 40k Miles
