Just noticed that this DB9 http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2147727.htm has been on the market for a while now.
Does it mean that c100k miler DB9 is very difficult to shift?
I'm not on the market for DB9 at the mo however I might be in few month time. I personally don't mind buying high miler as I'm not gonna be doing a lot of miles anyway however looking at this particular can let me think that it would be hard to re-sell. No?
Also, would really be interested to know how much dealer paid for it...late 20s?

depends really...seems fair price ..depending on condition of course

5 year old car, less than 100K miles,okay, so its been used daily ...hopefully been looked after anyway. I wonder how the interior has held up? my 06 Vantage has 60K nearly and the seat bolsters are prett worn

if service history was straight, I wouldnt worry for £35K,especially as a car I intended to keep say 5 years or more, and do 3K a year in...it will even out the mileage in the end when its 10 years old with just over 100K on

I'm quite encouraged by the way the interior looks after that mileage, the leather still seems to be in pretty good condition - impressive

One thing to be wary of is that some sellers re-post pics of their cars form when they bought it (if not first owner).

So these pics might be with a lot less mileage.

It's always nice to see the actual mileage readout on the dash in one of the pics...

leather is tough stuff and with a few hundred spent on the interior with a reconalising will look as good as new (well almost)
