DB9 running costs
Discussion
For my 05MY DB9 I pay GBP 1200 in insurance. Annual service is GBP 1000ish and during the almost 4 years of ownership I have spent about GBP 3000 on a wheel refurb and a re-spray of the front spoiler due to chipping at Works Service which are not the cheapest. I have had no other costs and the car has had no unplanned visits to the dealership. Superb car altogether. I use it everyday and have driven app 20.000 miles.

4 year service is the BIG one though.
Aston dealer told me they charge 3.5k for it when I was looking at them...

Mental Note : Must ensure any DB9 I wish to buy has had this service or I get rid of it before the service.......
Does the DB9 have a Haynes manual.
With the recent depreciation, servicing will be the least of your worries!!!

At the 4 year 40000 mile service, oil and filter, both air filters, both pollen filters, brake fluid and antifreeze change, labour time is 5 hours, independent Aston Martin Specialist no where near that price.

from reading various forums I get the impression that a DB9 is a much more sorted car with a better transmission and therefore a more satisfying purchase than a V8V, any thoughts on this?
Where did you read that rubbish!!The DB9 is faster and is a superior cruiser however it is a little soft.
The V8V is a sportier car with firmer suspension and superior turn in and handling.
However the DB9 with sports pack is a litle closer to the DB9.

Maybee you should consiser upgrading to a 997, since your so impressed with Porsche.
I do not believe that the DB9 has less niggles than the V8V, it is merely a case of far greater number of V8V owners on the forum compared with DB9's.

Your probably better off sticking with you Boxter then!

Boxster is a keeper anyway, V8V or DB9 would be an addition. 997 is a splendid car but wife not keen on the rump of the cab. Either Aston would be a coupe. Watching prices and specs at the moment + finishing an expensive building project!

Best wishes with your future purchase.
Whichever direction you decide to go, I am sure that you will be very pleased with your purchase.
Have a chat with the guys at your local AM dealer regarding problems, niggles with DB9 & V8V.
They will be able to give you advise and suggest which one would best suit.
