Aston Martin’s follow-up to the Nineties DB7 came in 2004’s DB9. In fact, the DB9 ran for a good twelve years, and cemented itself as the brand’s signature Grand Tourer during that time. What we’ve got here is a particularly light-footed example, as it’s just covered 20,500 miles so far. Isn’t it great? You’d be hard-pressed to find another example that’s as well kept as this one, especially with such low mileage. Two keys, a car cover, the owner’s manual, and an Aston Martin branded umbrella are included. Let’s dig in and find out more
Portraying the penmanship of Ian Callum and Henrik Fisker, the DB9’s design elements can still be found in current-generation Aston Martin products. This 2005 Aston Martin DB9 wears a suave Midnight Blue paintwork with the seller reporting that it’s been ceramic coated for protection, and wears a light window tint too. Rolling on silver 19-inch multi spoke alloy wheels, it certainly looks the part and brings out your inner James Bond fantasies too. Venture aboard the Sandstorm cabin and you’ll find seating for four occupants. Being a mid-2000s vehicle, you find plenty of buttons and knobs for climate control and infotainment functions, and the steering wheel is refreshingly button-free. It does have paddle shifters for gear selection, though. The wood-trimmed center console hosts four buttons for transmission selection, and an intricately designed Engine Start button. Dip your eyes lower, and the center stack is a single element for infotainment display, controls, and climate control. However, there’s a larger, motorized, color screen that rises from the dash when required. A classy analog clock is present too. The door sills inform you that this car is Built In England. The seller reports that a 6-CD changer and powered seats are present as well. Take a moment to appreciate the instrument cluster design as well, especially the quirky rev counter that sweeps anticlockwise.
What lurks beneath the smooth lines of this 2005 Aston Martin DB9? It’s Aston Martin’s 5.9L naturally aspirated V12 that emits a distinctive howl from the twin tailpipes at the rear, as you wind it up. A plaque inside the engine bay informs us that the car was hand built in England, and final inspection carried out by Rob Poulton. The V12 generates 450hp at 6,000rpm and 420lb-ft at 5,000rpm, sent rearwards via a six-speed ZF Touchtronic automatic transmission. Zero to sixty is a sub-5 second affair, and the top speed is around 186mph according to manufacturer specs. The seller of this car reports that it’s been given new brakes, rotors, battery, and air filter.
The Aston Martin DB9: a car that was so well-designed it stayed in production for 12 years, and continues to impress over 2 decades after its launch. In 2004, it took over the DB line from the outgoing DB7. While it’s predecessor was often criticized as being a Jag XJS in a fancy dress, the DB9 was developed as a fresh car (in fact, there is some speculation that Aston Martin avoided calling it the DB8 to distinguish it even more from its predecessor). The convertible version was named the DB9 Volante and debuted in September 2004 with softer suspension than the coupe and extra reinforcement to protect the occupants in case of a rollover incident.
There’s something uber cool about driving an Aston Martin. The sheer sensation of it, the luxurious interior, the snarling V12 of earlier models, and of course the James Bond connection. Who wouldn’t want to drive a car from a brand that’s associated with the most popular movie superspy of all time? Granted, the DB9 didn’t see any screen time in the hands of Bond, but it’s still a darn fine machine. If you want to get your hands on a DB9, we have this 11,411-mile 2006 Aston Martin DB9 Volante for sale from Orinda, California. With its naturally aspirated V12, Linn 260-watt premium sound system, and Westminster Green convertible top, it’s a really awesome car to own and drive, to put it mildly.
If you own and drive an Aston Martin, you’re basically following in the footsteps of the most popular superspy, James Bond. The link between this British automaker and the fictional British superspy is historic, and continues to this day. Never mind the irony of a spy using one of the most prominent cars around, or the fact that originally Bond was a Bentley man in Ian Fleming’s novels. Either way, you can channel your inner Bond with this 2007 Aston Martin DB9 Volante that’s for sale in Maitland, Florida. With just 36,614 miles, this open-topped Aston is the way to smooth and suave driving nirvana – with that V12 under the hood!
Selecting an Aston Martin as your next vehicle shows that you are a certain sort of person. The type that appreciates British design and sports car engineering, and most likely, a James Bond fan at heart too. This iconic British automaker has had a long association with Ian Fleming’s superspy, in film at least. In the books, Bond is a Bentley man, but when the films were being produced, Aston Martin became the selected vehicle of Mr. Bond. In fact, you can find Aston Martins in over half of the Bond films produced to date. Today’s Aston Martin of choice is a 2020 Aston Martin DB11 Volante from Fort Myers, Florida. The DB11 debuted 2016 and was made until 2023, in coupe and convertible (Volante) forms. This particular example packs a twin-turbo V8 and just under 6,100 miles on the clock.

Historically, British sports and luxury automaker Aston Martin applied the Vantage tag to existing vehicles, usually to signify the higher-performance derivative of them. All that changed in 2005 when they decided to make Vantage a separate model. Designed by Henrik Fisker and Ian Callum, the first proper generation of the Vantage was a huge success, and the second generation continued on a lively streak. This 2012 Aston Martin Vantage V8 Roadster is a lovely first-generation example and has received a recent servicing. With its soulful V8 engine, Sportshift automated manual gearbox and just over 24,000 miles on the clock, it’s now up for grabs in The Villages, Florida. Do you like it? You definitely do!
