Hey guys, Thinking of getting an Austin Martin DB9 in silver . If I throw on the same set of Vellano Wheels that I have on my beast now I think it just may be some what nicer than what I have now What do you think? Any input?. Those DB9's sure do look great.

Do it! The DB9's are very nice. I see your silver theme going, but I'd suggest looking into their dark grey/charcoal option with the Iron Ore interior. Looks great.

That would be a nice trade-up.

One of the most beautiful cars, and sounds wonderful. Incredibly taught chassis, but cars are known to have the odd problem or 2, so be sure you check the car out thoroughly and review all the works done.

When you lookup the dealership be sure to look up Aston Martin though.

How much for the 63?

I have never been impressed with the power of any Austin Martin, even the Vanquish S but I think it is a great GT car. It is also hard to beat the custom ordered interiors if they were well optioned and also many of the exterior details. As long as you are not expecting it to be a faster car, I think you will be very happy with it and several friends own and love them. I would venture to say that I know more AM owners then I know AMG owners (outside the forum of course).

an AM could be a nice change - definitely a looker.

what looses value faster and AM or AMG?

Get the DBS baller!

Vic55

Yeah DBS Mr Bond.

MB_Forever

Rick, keep the beast at least until November

I love DB9's, do it! It will be quite a bit slower then your 63 though...

He who blinks first loses, PM me and I will let you know.

DB9 is an amazing car to look at, but not so amazing to drive unfortunately. Very cramped inside, useless rear seats (my 110lb girlfriend could barely fit in the back!), so-so performance, weak brakes, poor ergonomics, poor visibility. The way it looks and sounds almost makes up for all the issues though

The Aston is GORGEOUS and fun, but no monster. What will be your play toy?

p.s. I call dibs on the 3 ECU tune files for the 63s

rarfinancial

Man ! I will go test driving this weekend I will let you all know what I think..

MB Fanatic

Wait for the 2009 DB9. There are some major changes coming to he engine, transmission and chasis.

rarfinancial

Thanks for the tip but that may be a bit much coin for me I'm just a Used Car Sales man I will be on the hunt this week.

coolcamden

If you find 2, let me know, we can get the dealer to give us a volume discount. A dark bluish gray for me tho...

R U on crack?

Your CLS is way sick, way fast and you in an attemptto appease Paris Hilton are making a MISTAKE. LOL NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoOO

I think he's on the right track bro, there's nothing sexier than an AM. Nothing. Ian Callum is a genius who was sent here by the lord to show us to the automotive promised land.

Zod

but is all show n no go (AM that is) compared to what he has
DB9 isn't supposed to be that much faster either

MB Fanatic

Sometimes its not all about speed my friend. I can't wait to test drive the 2009 AM DB9 given the number of changes that will be occuring. I think it will be money well spent.

juicee63

They are more common in LA than the CLS, and much less comfy, much slower, and only a tad sexier maybe.

Ricks car in person looks as good as any Bond car, plus I would lose my only comp for the crown.

I like the car but it is packaging and it will never perform like an AMG

SLK55R

A tad sexier? Come on now ... lets be honest!

Of course would I want that slow *** car ... I'd spend the money elsewhere.
