Instrument Cluster Problem? Aston Martin - Do you see what I see? - Ep 2

Do you see what’s wrong in this picture? I can see at least one big issue with the Instrument Cluster on this 2006 Aston Martin DB9 Coupe that has just 32K miles on it. It was sold recently at auction in the USA.
Many Aston’s are being sold in online auctions now with the buyers never seeing the car in person, let alone getting a proper pre-purchase inspection. All you have to go on is the photos.
With “Aston Martin - Do you see what I see?” I am having a little fun sharing some photos of actual auction cars and playing a game trying to spot the little tell-tale signs that might be the tip off to a bigger (and costly) issue.
Would you have bid on this car? if so - would what we discover have changed your bid?
What else do you see in this car? What did I miss? Let me know in the comments section below.
Have you seen an Aston that would be fun to review on this channel? Please contact me at [e-mail] to let me know.
As always I have more information available over on my companion blog at www.Aston1936.com

I went and looked at a 2011 Rapide Yesterday that drivers side back window only opened an inch no matter if front or rear door opened, trunk would not pop, just unlocked, Dash leather was shrinking everywhere, passenger mirror was missing the front cover part, the key would stick in the ignition, and I could audibly hear miss fires at idle. I stopped looking at that point. Keep up the informative video's, it is always good to learn more.

I'd ask if the car was running when the dash shot was taken. 750 RPM on tach.

Its 18 years old and 32,000 miles so expecting perfection is not very realistic. Something like that wouldn't have put me off bidding, or made me upset when it arrived. I agree with the fuel issue, I noted the low fuel light right away. I don't like to run my fuel that low, and risk sucking up debris from the bottom of an 18 year old fuel tank.

I was just wondering what the law is now regarding those awful front and rear side red and yellow lights. The Astons here in the UK don't have them and it makes their lines much smoother and cleaner. Compare the 2 cars and you will see exactly what I mean.
