Agreed, but they didn't really set themselves up to buy prestige cars, its geared more towards the lower end 'normal' run of the mill cars where their prices are a little more realistic.
However their prices will always be dirt cheap, as its pretty much a last resort method of selling your car when you need (any) cash fast.

Unfortunately, it's not quite as daft as you think. Nobody will touch an Aston at the moment as the forcourts are completely full of unsold new and second hand... and market forces rule. I was offered 40k by a dealer that spent a whole day trying to find anyone that would buy mine as a part ex.For that money, I'll keep it!
The arse has fallen out of this particular market.
seems about right for just a 'trader' to offer bottom book price for something so they can sell on quick...was offered £40K for mine a few months back...yes a year older than yours, but its still crap. At the time it was that they hoped to buy in at £40k so they could sell out at £45K ...that would mean having it up at £47-48K to allow a bit for p/x ...its the way of the car world ...on a £90K car you lose £15K in vat the minute you drive away, then minus the profit to buy, prepare n sell...youd be £25K down after a week if you wanted to sell back to a trader add a year to that and its not looking good 
of course, if you want to trade up to a new DBS, you will get a top price for it...because theyve got a s
t load more profit in the deal ..Ive seen £40K off ex-demo DBS and £50K trade-in during the last 3 months ...shame I dont have another £70K cash to put into a car right now otherwise Id be tempted !

Sadly for those of us with sports cars this is only a bit off.You can pick them up easily for not much more, even from dealers.
I DON`T KNOW,.....MAYBE NOT MUCH MORE FOR A 2005 CAR BUT THE CHEAPEST OF THE CHEAP EVEN PRIVATELY SEEM TO BE MID TO HIGH FIFTIES FOR A 2007 CAR.I SUPPOSE IT`S LARGELY IRRELIVANT.I DON`T THINK I`M ALONE AS BOGIE JUST SAID DROVES OF US NOW WILL JUST SIT THIS OUT AND WAIT FOR THE DEPRETIATION CURVE TO LEVEL OFF A BIT.
"on a £90K car you lose £15K in vat the minute you drive away"
Never understood this whole thing people say - obviously you don't the VAT's been paid and noone can buy one where this isn't the case, so if you want to buy a second hand car then you have to pay a value based on the inc VAT price (unless you're selling between businesses but that's both different and rare at this segment of the market as company car tax makes it unviable).
As an aside, with depreciation the way it is, might be better to run it through a company and write off the depreciation against tax rather than pay it personally?

Trouble is... it spends most of the winter in the garage. Bit of a crime really.
I may well be going back to a Caterham next (With an Audi 3.0 Quattro as a proper car). Though funnily enough the most fun I've had on these roads is (ducks for cover) in a BMW Mini Cooper S.
Hand brake turns over the bealach was a real hoot. Highly recommended.

Why duck for cover? Absolutely BLINDING fun car on the right roads! One of the best in fact I may well be going back to a Caterham next (With an Audi 3.0 Quattro as a proper car). Though funnily enough the most fun I've had on these roads is (ducks for cover) in a BMW Mini Cooper S.

A tad cartoonish and overdone though IMO and I certainly wouldn't want to be seen around town in one.

im sure there are many that do exactly that ..not just with one car either !
Except the revenue don't allow you to do that with cars. You only get £3000 per year capital allowances.im sure there are many that do exactly that ..not just with one car either !
