The True Cost of Owning an Aston Martin DB9

[ilandmanevr]

Tell your sweetie she has a real keeper on her hands, and I don't mean the car either. Most guys would never go on record that they took that much of a hit owning a car of this type. It happens ever day. Boxster's regular brake jobs (pads/rotors) are upwards of $3500.00 as an example. You showed the reality of ownership of these stunning cars. This is one great vid. Sadly I don't have the income to join you in the enjoyment/love affair of own a Aston Martin. Truly my lost. Well done you!

My wife and I watched your video last week in anticipation of buying the neighbors DB9. Instead we've now decided we'll be buying the neighbor's house for our child instead. Thanks for the real numbers and common sense tips.

I rarely comment on videos. The words I would use to describe this video are honest, informational, authentic, funny, vulnerable, and humble. This video is so helpful to me. Thank you! And thank you for making the world a better place to be. Over 1 million people have watched this. I am going to forward it to my sons, because there is no way I could say it better.

Love your video style; direct, honest and to the point.

I watched this video thoroughly, and took detailed notes and I have learned from this video that the Aston Martin DB9 is beautiful from a variety of angles.

The smile at the end says it all about the car.

Video's like this is why I like YouTube and the internet in general, honest video that tells people the thruth instead of reporters that get paid to powerslide them around a track.
There's a very simple rule of thumb in buying a secondhand car: A 100k car (or 200k in this case) will have the running costs of a 100k car, even if you only paid 20k for the car.
This is very true, weather talking about an S-class or a Ferrari 360.

After 3 minutes into this video, I can conclude that I cannot afford this car. Tho I can buy the Aston Martin badge somewhere, stick it on my Fiesta and drive like a douchebag.

*Edit:* Unfortunately I did some research and found out that I can't even afford the damn badge.

My girlfriend costs more daily than this beauty... Time for me to make a decision

[michaelconrad]

Yeah she's expensive to keep, but she's stunning.
How often in life these two things go together.

I owned a DB9 for 3 years and it was super reliable and a blast to drive! The main thing you want to look for on early DB9's (05-06) is the transmission cooler lines and making sure the oil dipstick recall has been performed. If you bring this car to the dealer for service you will pay through the nose. Find a good independent and you will be set.

I am not an Aston Martin owner(BMW I really enjoy your videos because they are very informative, to the point and organized. I also love the fact that you use original parts and lay them on the surgically clean working surface before performing any I was an Aston owner, I would definitely be looking for a dealer that has your work ethics....Keep it up !!

[danieleregoli]

That sweet smile of yours is what matters most, my friend... Money does not matter 'per se', it's the joy brought by playing with the toys we buy with it that matters!!!

I love how you break it down to the mile

I own a 2011 Aston Martin DB9 in Lightning Silver. I purchased it new in 2011 and now, 8 years later, only have 2600 miles on it. I also own a 2013 Porsche 911 Carrera S. That car was also purchased new and now only has 13, 500 miles. I am 60 years old and plan on keeping both cars until the day that I die.

A family member bought a one-owner gorgeous 2007 DB9 in 2015 for $75, 000. It came with a low 17, 000 miles. The first service, conducted at 18, 000 miles cost an incredible $22, 000. New Tires, New front shocks, repair of an engine block oil leak ( was under original warranty, long expired ). The closest dealer was almost 100 miles away requiring a flatbed in both directions, for which the dealer charged $1400. At 18, 500 miles - a year later - the supplied battery charger shorted out, killing the electronics in the passenger door. As beautiful as this car is, it is not for the thin of wallet.

Thank you Sir. The way you presented the usually not so exiting information / data (I know I'm on thin ice here but I can only speak for myself), I enjoyed listening and learning nearly as much as watching at your beautiful car. Very informative and down to earth explanation. Compliments!

[Happyfaceshock]

I always thought the DB9 was the best looking Aston Martin. Absolutely stunning inside and out.

[oliviamiller]

Beautifully done. Honest, detailed, and useful cost categories. So nice to hear you say your “Sweetie”.

I love this video, the real cost of owning any car.  We often lie to ourselves.
