2005 Aston Martin DB9 Coupe

Highlights

  • Low documented mileage of 82,425 kms 
  • Full service history to 80,000 kms in 2024 
  • APK to March 2025 
  • Classic dark grey metallic with grey leather 
  • Great example of these 450bhp V12 GTs

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.

According to information supplied by the owner, the engine is strong, has good oil pressure and the ‘touchtronic’ gearbox works well and like any classic Aston Martin, the sound is beautiful! We did a short but impressive test drive with the car which did not disappoint as you can see..
The car is Dutch (EEC) registered. Only 2.708km since the last oil service and valid APK (MOT/TUV/CT) until 07 March 2025. If you are looking for an affordable 6.0 V12 which gives an fantastic driving experience.. This might be the right car for you!
The car is maintained but might be improved cosmetically. We are happy to help a new owner with this.
Enjoy the pictures and don’t forget to watch the walk-around, interior, drive-by onboard and start-up videos to get a good impression of the quality of the car.  Please see all scans of the invoices.  Happy bidding!
