2007 Aston Martin DB9 6-Speed — The $133,500 Lesson in Depreciation

🕶️ The Cool Car Guy’s Take:

The Aston Martin DB9 sold new in 2007 between $162,050 and $180,250, depending on trim and transmission. The base manual coupe was $162,050 — the Volante automatic topped out at $180,250.

This one? Listed on Sotheby’s Motorsport with 9 days left and only one bid at $28,500.

That’s a $133,500 drop from the original sticker price — with just 10,549 original miles.

Let that math cook: that’s $12.65 a mile to drive if you were the first owner. Even the IRS depreciation tables can’t save you from that kind of burn.

The listing says it’s the second owner, and they’ve only added 3,000 miles — which means the first guy took the full bath on this one.

Still, at around $30K, whoever wins it is basically paying 88% off MSRP for a 6-speed V12 with classic Aston looks and hardly any miles.
So yeah — lesson learned: cool doesn’t always age like fine wine. Sometimes it depreciates like a yacht.
