Greetings fellow car enthusiasts,
I know how annoying threads like this can be as I am a regular poster on another car Forum (I have a twin turbo Ford GT as well as a couple other fun cars) , but I could use some help/advice. I have been searching for the past three months for a used DB9, coupe in the '05-07 range. I have looked at 3 and had a pre purchase inspection done out of state on one. (the car failed the PPI) On the out of state car I had a great experience with the garage that did the PPI.
Now I will finally get to my questions.
I have realistic expectations, or so I thought, of buying a DB9. I am looking for a clean car, no body work, mechanically sound, clean interior and normal wear for a car of this age range. I have found 3 poor examples. Just bad luck or is this common. Problems thus far have been off the books damage/repairs and leaking fluids. I am open to private sellers or dealers, but I am getting the feeling that this may be more of a process than I really want. What if any advice can you give to a potential new owner?? My other car Forum has trusted people that they recommend for PPI's in different areas. Do you guys have something like that here?? Have always loved the look of the DB9, have driven a couple and my friends who have had them enjoy them. Just want to find a good example to leave at my vacation home and not find a nightmare. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
