Aston Martin DB9

As a Aston Martin, the DB9 sits at the premium end — expect a higher purchase price, but strong refinement and equipment.

Check which engine and fuel type a given DB9 has, as it affects motor tax, fuel economy and NCT considerations.

Buying a used Aston Martin DB9 in Ireland

A few things worth checking before you commit:

• NCT status: confirm a current cert and check the history for advisories.
• Service history: a full, stamped history is reassuring and protects resale value.
• Mileage vs. age: very high or suspiciously low mileage both deserve questions.
• Imports: many used cars here are UK imports — check VRT has been paid and the paperwork is in order.
• Recalls & known issues: a quick search for the specific year can save you money later.
