You have the opportunity to purchase a metallic grey
(Tungsten) ASTON MARTIN DB9 V12 VOLANTE Tiptronic/Automatic with only 14,522 miles which (as you have no doubt seen from the
above links) has been superbly looked after throughout its life.
To avoid confusion please be aware that the private registration number
that you see in the pictures is not
included as part of this sale and it will be supplied with an age related
new DVLA issued number (we do however have a number of top end ‘1’ and ‘2’
prefix registrations as well as four character items available at significant
discounts should you be looking for a ‘dateless’ number to go with this vehicle
– for details click here).
FINANCE
In respect to financing (subject to status) we can offer a LIBOR + 3.25%
tracker policy (LIBOR is the interest rate that the banks charge each other for loans).
Because these are floating rates with a fixed monthly payment the final
balloon will change depending on the LIBOR rates over the period of the loan
therefore we have included one balloon figure as an indication if rates stay as
they are and another as an indication should they rise to 3%.
As a rough guide you would be looking at the following figures;
|

BEFORE WE
START; a quick response to some common questions
1.
Our ‘Fixed Fair
Pricing Policy’ – Despite the condition of this vehicle being far above ‘average’ and this being a warranty backed dealer sale its
price has been set at a fair level that simply reflects its age and mileage. In
respect of this price, please do not send emails asking ‘what is the best price for cash’ etc… as our prices are
fixed and have not been set high in the first place (we receive so many mails
relating to this that we are unable to reply to them so please do not waste
time sending them and do not be offended if you don’t get a reply)

ridiculous price) please let us know as it will be a SCAM ADVERT designed to steal money from a naïve buyer (because
of the quality of the pictures and the desirability of our vehicles at least
one of our listing’s seems to get targeted every week)

COSMETIC CONDITION
As
you will have already seen through the above links the condition of this car is
very different from the vast majority of examples you will find not just
because of the very low mileage but also because these are wealthy people’s
cars and this group of individuals are not always the most careful with their
possessions.
Furthermore
it has not suffered the regular and often extensive ‘wear-and-tear’ so often
afflicted by children during the ‘school run’ – basically its owner did not use this car to carry, DIY projects,
children or pets.
The
interior and upholstery is exceptionally clean being totally devoid of any
trace of wear, stains or other types of general abuse and being a non-smokers
car (the cigar lighter is even unused) there are obviously no burns or
lingering smells and the ash tray has only ever been used to store coins etc…
Moving
on to the outside this very much reflects the condition of the interior in that
it basically looks much the same as it did when it left the factory not just
because of the mileage but also due it its owners wise £750 investment in
having the whole front end and arches etc… professionally covered with a
plastic film called ‘Paint Shield’ when the car was new. As a result of this it
is completely free of any trace or
suggestion of damage from even the smallest stone chip or other mark.
It
is quite beyond me how anybody manages to keep a car in this sort of condition,
however the fact that they did remains quite unarguable; for example even the
polished alloys are in exceptional condition suggesting not only that its owner
was a careful parker, but also that they regularly removed the build up of
corrosive brake dust.
HOW
CAN YOU BE SURE THIS IS A GOOD CAR?
It
is very hard to accurately represent a vehicles condition simply through words
and pictures however as experienced car dealers with over 80 years of combined
experience within the company there are a number of things we have learnt to look
for that give a good gauge of a cars history. This is the reason that we
include so many pictures of things that you are probably not used to seeing in
a car advert; specifically we include these pictures for the following reasons.
1.
Door & body shuts - so that you can inspect
for yourself that there is no rust in the seams, evidence of replacement door
skins, ‘over-spray’ from previous repairs or other signs of a ‘very bad car’ à The car you are viewing has no rust or
overspray on any door or body shuts and has not had any replacement door skins
2.
Wing bolt
heads - the front wings of most cars are fixed to the chassis by a set of
small bolts that are painted at the same time as the body when the car is new.
If a car has been in an accident these bolts will have had this factory paint
coating damaged as a result of them having to be un-bolted or adjusted à The car you are viewing has never had
its wing bolts undone or adjusted and as such they are complete with their
factory paint coating
3.
Panel
gaps - individual manufactures vary, however they generally expend a great
deal of effort insuring their vehicles leave the factory with even panel gaps
as it is an inference of both the quality of the car, and their manufacturing
process. Unless a car has been in an accident these gaps should be the same as
when they left the factory à The car you are
viewing has all the correct panel gaps and its shuts and closures fit as they
should
4.
Factory
stickers - when a car is made the factory apply a number of stickers (both
on the glass and in the shuts) that cover various information or warning messages. These ‘factory
stickers’ are always missing from cars that have had accident repair because
they are virtually impossible to obtain outside of the manufactures factory
environment à The car you are
viewing is complete with all its original factory stickers
5.
Supplying dealer number
plates -
if a car has both the original front and rear number plates as fitted when the
car was new (rather than an accident repair centre) this is significant because
it indicates that it is unlikely to ever have had even the kind of light ‘bump’
that would shatter the original plates à The car you are
viewing has both its original dealer supplied number plates
6.
Keys - if both original keys are
present and they each work in all the locks it is a strong indication that it
has not had any locks changed, which would have happened if it had been broken
into or stolen at any point in its life à The car you are
viewing has both original keys and they work in all the locks
7.
Glass - all the glass on an
accident free car (with the exception of maybe the windscreen) should have the
correct factory insignia and originate from the same factory date as if a car
is in a big accident invariably it all gets broken and when it is replaced the
date stamps will be different à The glass on
the car you are viewing has the correct insignia and originates from the same
factory date
8.
A full service history – apart from corroborating
the vehicles mileage cars with a full service history will have had any recalls
and other work carried out as soon as they were appropriate as well as having
had all the minor (for want of a better term) ‘bits and pieces’ attended to. Additionally
a full and regular service history indicates that the cars owner had the money
and motivation to properly look after it and we have traditionally found that
this provides a good inference on their approach to taking care of, and
maintaining the vehicle in general à The car you are
viewing has a full service history
9.
HPI Clear – the HPI register or “hit
list” as it is sometime know is the national database for all accidents,
finance and theft records that relate to a vehicle. A car’s HPI certificate
will show each category and report any applicable data and for a car to be ‘HPI
clear’ it must report “NOT RECORDED” after every category which means that the
vehicle has not been involved in any insurance payouts, write-offs or theft and
also that it has no un-cleared finance still owing à The car you are viewing is HPI CLEAR and
is supplied with an original copy HPI certificate
As
you would expect of a car with this low mileage and after viewing all the above
photographs, there
is absolutely nothing wrong with this car
in terms of its mechanical condition. Most certainly if you have not
driven one of these before you will be very surprised at how nice they are to
drive. The roads around London are always full of incredibly expensive new cars
but I can never really work out how people ever manage to rationalise the cost
or what their owners could possibly be getting that a car like this does not
offer, except maybe a large monthly finance bill and the guarantee of savage
depreciation in just three years and a handful of miles (as can be evidenced in
the price of the vehicle you are looking at).
Specifically,
it runs just as it should, does not leak or use any oil or water and is a real pleasure to drive. Additionally as you would
expect of a Full Service History
vehicle, the antifreeze and brake fluid is clean being free of contamination,
as is the oil.
TYRES
This
vehicle is fitted with a full set of factory specification Bridgestone tyres
and all are in good condition.
ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
·
The Sat Nav
system is complete with its disk and is fully operational
·
The air
conditioning is fully functional
·
The transmission
works smoothly, both on the up and down changes
·
The ABS and other safety systems all do what they are supposed to when
needed
·
It does not have any interior leaks or warning lights showing on the
dashboard, nor are there any service warnings on the display panel
·
The stereo and its remote systems all works as they should
·
The onboard computer is fully functional & all the display LEDs are
without any ‘dead’ pixels
There
are no qualifications with the above statements, it starts, stops, goes round
bends and drives in a way that is not tangibly different from what it must have
been like when new with the engine sounding exactly as it should. Please take
your time to examine our feedback history from which you will see that we mean
what we say and that all our previous customers were happy with their
purchases.
POINTS OF NOTE
At this point in our listings we almost
always have a section supported by pictures that detail any specific points
regarding the condition of the car such as a scratch on the bumper or a dent in
the door etc… However in this particular case we cannot think of anything of
note to mention – this car really has been looked after and is in quite
exceptional condition. We appreciate that on a car of almost any age and
mileage the lack of points regarding problems might lead some readers to be
suspicious, however we cannot mention anything if there is simply nothing
further to say although if we do come across anything it will be added to this
listing.
