45k to spend on either V8 vantage or older DB9?

[christmc]

I will be definately buying one or the other, dont worry about running costs or maintenance.

[bananarob]

Vantage vantage vantage!

[Spokey]

V8V all the way.

[christmc]

Interesting! i expected the opposite response

[AMD1]

V8V (or DBS)

[michael gould]

that's because most on this forum have the beginers Aston with the little V8 engine

Do i detect a little snobbery lol, i prefere the looks of the DB9. Dont you think now some of the 2004-5 are down at 45k ish that they will have reached the bottom of their depreciation curve?

It's the drive, not the engine. If I had my druthers, I'd go for a V12V, but her indoors won't have it!

There was me thinking it was because of our age - that we still want a sports car not a boulevard cruiser

[Mr Noble]

DB9 = Over 50's

V8V = Under 50's

[freddie4]

For the money. Definately a Vantage, it looks better and sounds great. A DB9 would have done a few miles at that age and sorry to say, look even dated.

[michael gould]

you just cant build a decent car and sell it for less that 100k......go for the DB9......but if the V12 is a bit much for you then the beginers V8V is ok

[Neil1300R]

To the OP, something to be aware of there are over 4 times the number of Vantage owners on here vs DB9, so your poll is always going to be skewed in favour of the Vantage.

And that's before you get onto age of owners, cruisers vs sports handling etc etc

Not needing a penis substitute, I went for the smaller, lighter, more dynamic one!

[freddie4]

If you want a V12 ... still go for the Vantage

[UH-Matt]

You can take mine for £48k, about to go on the market

[bogie]

I thought that one is the drivers car, fast road use, the odd trackday, and the other is a GT - for weekends away with the missus, and touring holidays ...so it depends on what you want to use it for ....personally I wouldnt want to be tracking a DB9 every month ! LOL
