The Appeal
The DB9 didn’t need James Bond to make it great, but the association certainly helped. Beautifully designed and equipped with the firm’s hand-built 5.9L 450bhp V12, these are effortlessly rewarding cars.
The key when buying one is specification and maintenance. This 2005 car leans into the Bond theme with its Anthracite Grey paintwork and ticks the history box with a run of 12 service stamps to back up the low displayed mileage of just 82,00km. The last service work was in early 2024 at 80,000km.
The provenance is further underlined by a detailed condition report from Kroymans Aston Martin in March 2023, a paintwork depth report and a long APK to March 2025.
There are some minor points to note, but none detract from what is a low mileage, well maintained DB9 in a popular combination.
