Having a 2014 Vantage S for almost 4 years and doing circa 10k in the car lost around £18k in that time with Full AM history,
A friend is looking at selling his 2015 DB9 and trade values have been £25-27k less than he paid for the car just two years ago and only done less than 5k miles in that time.

An AM dealer has a car with 10k less miles and wants £20k more than he has been offered.

I would have thought late DB9.2 models would be in good demand, Vantage S of that era are now going for late £40k
Cheapest main dealer DB11 is just at £70k so not sure why he got offered such a big difference.

I know prices have come down a little but new Astons have gone up by thousands compare to the last decade.

The DB9 always seemed it held its money better than a Bentley GT of that era

Your friend bought at or near to top of market and is now looking to sell in a much softer market. It's this plus the fact that dealers always want a 10k profit on such cars is all.

Your friends choice are thus

a) suck it up and move on. Bad timing for him.
b) hold on and wait for market to change - but it might not.
c) sell private - he can reduce the delta but it's a bit of work and street smarts required.

Bright side - in this market his new car will be a bargain.

I know the new ones are getting cheaper but last gen still look good and less tech more old School
I did say to him he should hang on another year to sell
