Holy Mother of Poor Resale Value

Sharp11 · 06-03-2007, 08:27 PM

Ok, let's get all the mudgeoness about auto trannies and excessive weight out of our systems - this was a close to 100k car when new and the AT ad I linked is one of many of the 1996-2006 models that are an absolute steal.

Two V8's, one supercharged and a chassis shared with the Db8 - that ought to interest a few of you guys

Seems overpriced to me (given that it's an autotragic).

We rented one of those a few years ago on a trip to Palm Springs CA. I think the rental cost me about 725 dollars for 4 days.

Even as a rental it was way overpriced!! It was fun for the first few hours, but it was a way overweight pig and a lousy transmission.

I'd rather pay more for an SL.

DB7 but who's counting?

That is significant depreciation. But . . . that car was amazing for appearance when it came out in the late 90s. Now it's just old.

That reminds me... Why did Aston go from DB7 to DB9. What happened to DB8?
