    Hello group,
    I am new to this world. I own a 355 spider and I'm looking to buy a DB9. Just starting to do my homework. Here are a couple of questions;
    1) I plan to drive this everyday and put on a lot of miles. Will it hold up?
    2) I don't mind 20k to 30k miles starting out. Can these cars be bought in the $40k range?
    3) Any service issues, I need to be aware of?

    Mike

    From what I've seen, cars with that kind of mileage are still asking $85-100k.

    00-02 DB7s are more in the $40k-low $50k range.

    V8 Vantages are in the 50's. DB9's aren't there quite yet. But I know of 2 guys in my subdivision that drive theirs daily and they have had no issues. Just minor things. Nothing mechanical.

    The services on the DB9 and V8 vantage are not that bad. oil change and brake fluid flush every year. there are no timing belts to replace.
    I do service AM cars in chicago mainly DB7s we do service the newer AMs . I have been an aston martin specialist for 10 years. If anyone needs
    work on there aston call Autosprint 773-685-0930. This is were I work now. Thanks Scott
