The Aston Martin DB9, launched in 2004, replaced the DB7 and introduced the brand's aluminum Vertical/Horizontal (VH) platform. Powered by a 5.9L V12 engine producing 450 hp, it was a major leap forward in terms of chassis rigidity, build quality, and performance. Its design, a collaboration between Ian Callum and Henrik Fisker, is considered a modern classic, making it a cornerstone of Aston Martin's 21st-century identity.
Collectors value the DB9 for its blend of traditional grand tourer attributes with more modern technology and reliability. It offers an authentic V12 experience without the maintenance challenges of older models. The rare 6-speed manual transmission cars are highly sought after, as are the later 2013+ models which received a power increase to 510 hp and significant styling updates.
The DB9 market has matured, with significant depreciation making these cars an attractive value proposition. After bottoming out, prices have stabilized and are beginning to appreciate for the best examples. Early, higher-mileage cars offer the lowest entry point, while late-model, low-mileage Volantes and manual coupes command the highest prices.
Buying Tips
- Insist on a complete and documented service history from specialists; V12 maintenance is expensive.
- Check for paint bubbling on aluminum panels, especially on door bottoms, hood, and trunk lid edges, which indicates corrosion.
- Test all interior electronics, as infotainment systems and control modules can be prone to glitches.
- Early Touchtronic 2 automatic transmissions can be problematic; feel for smooth shifts during the test drive. Manual cars are desirable but check for clutch life.
- The V12's coil packs and spark plugs are a costly and labor-intensive service item, so check records for the last replacement.
