2014 Aston Martin DB9 Used Price Estimates

The 2014 Aston Martin DB9 might not be the most modern or thrilling exotic sports car, but it largely makes up for that with stunning good looks and loads of character.

The 2014 Aston Martin DB9 does not have a very good navigation system. Its passenger seat only adjusts four ways and the backseat is generally unusable by humans. Some may lament the absence of a manual transmission option, and there are a few downmarket materials in the cabin that would make a Bentley owner snicker.

Thus concludes the reasons why you may want to think twice about buying a DB9. If those and the sky-high price don't persuade you, then it's hard to think of a reason why you haven't already marched yourself over to the nearest Aston Martin store -- the reasons to buy a DB9 are abundantly more obvious.

Chiefly, just look at the thing. Despite a face-lift that went along with a rather thorough mechanical overhaul last year, the DB9 is still one of the most gorgeous cars on the road. This is especially impressive given that its iconic silhouette and general look have been around for a decade and migrated to every other Aston Martin. If there was ever a prime example of the word "timeless," this is it.

Next, take a look under the sculpted hood at the 5.9-liter, 510-horsepower V12 filling every corner of the engine bay and revel as it fires to life with a guttural roar. While other exotics may move with greater haste and offer sharper handling, nothing can take away from the satisfaction of experiencing the DB9 and its sonorous engine in all their glory.

However, this Aston Martin's greatest dynamic gift is its grand touring capabilities. Though it certainly offers a dynamic driving experience, it's also comfortable and practical enough to drive from Seattle to San Diego without making your butt go numb, your ears ring or your luggage remain at home. Among other such GTs, the DB9's character slots in between the less powerful 2014 Maserati GranTurismo and the more stately and refined 2014 Bentley Continental GT. Though really, at this price point, emotion is really what matters. If you want a 2014 Aston Martin DB9, get one.

The 2014 Aston Martin DB9 is available as a coupe or a soft-top convertible known as the Volante. Both come with a 2+2 seating arrangement. There is a seat delete option for the coupe that replaces the rear vestigial seats with a more useful storage area.

Standard equipment includes 20-inch wheels, performance tires, a three-mode adjustable and adaptive suspension, carbon-ceramic disc brakes, bi-xenon headlights, power-folding mirrors, front and rear parking sensors, cruise control, automatic climate control, heated power front seats (eight-way driver, four-way passenger, including memory functions), a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, full leather interior, a trunk-mounted umbrella, a battery deactivation switch (for extended parking), Bluetooth phone connectivity, a Garmin navigation system and a premium audio system with a six-CD changer, satellite radio, an auxiliary audio jack, a USB input and an iPod interface. The Volante gets a fully powered soft top and a wind deflector.

Options include different wheels, a rearview camera, sport seats (six-way power adjustment, not heated, requires the front-seat-only configuration) and a Bang & Olufsen sound system. The DB9 is also highly customizable, especially when it comes to exterior paint. There's a rather large selection of colors to choose from (including Volante roof colors), plus you can request any paint code Aston Martin or any other manufacturer has ever used. There are also plentiful interior trim types and leather hues available.

Every 2014 Aston Martin DB9 is powered by a 5.9-liter V12 (Aston labels it a 6.0) good for 510 hp and 457 pound-feet of torque. Rear-wheel drive, a six-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential are all standard. Aston Martin says the coupe will go from zero to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds, while the heavier Volante should be slightly slower. EPA-estimated fuel economy is 15 mpg combined (13 city/19 highway).

Every 2014 DB9 includes standard antilock carbon-ceramic disc brakes, stability and traction control, and front side airbags that protect the head and torso. Front and rear parking sensors are also included, while a rearview camera is optional. The Volante gets standard automatically deploying rollover bars.

If you're cross-shopping within the Aston Martin garage, get ready to hear many of the same old descriptions. The 2014 Aston Martin DB9 is surprisingly easy to drive, with decent outward visibility and a traditional automatic transmission that delivers smooth shifts without the jerkiness associated with fancier automated manuals. Selecting the Sport setting noticeably increases throttle response and shift speed, and allows gears to be held manually all the way to redline without automatically upshifting.

The car is also quite comfortable, with a compliant ride quality and a suspension that automatically adapts to road conditions. Its three driver-selectable suspension modes result in both a better ride (that is nevertheless quite firm) and sharper handling that is less prone to pavement imperfections. The electric-assist steering is precise, and the car's 50/50 weight balance assures neutral handling. As for the engine, it provides a thrilling experience of abundant power accompanied by the glorious song of a wailing V12.

It's difficult to find a surface in the 2014 DB9 that's not covered in soft leather, while veneer, alloy trim and even sapphire crystal fill in the blanks. Any complaints we may level below are often easy to ignore because of all this pampering beauty.

In terms of functionality, easily deciphered buttons combine with a central screen to create fairly simple and user-friendly audio and climate controls. However, Aston Martin trails other luxury carmakers' in-car electronics, so technophiles may find the cabin antiquated. The Garmin-sourced navigation system in particular may be an improvement over Aston's horrible old one, but it still feels out of place in such an expensive car.

The DB9 proves its road trip worthiness thanks to a driver seat that's marvelously comfortable, with ample leg- and headroom for even taller drivers. The four-way power passenger seat unfortunately doesn't offer the same amount of adjustability or comfort. The two rear seats are glorified parcel shelves, so we suggest opting for the actual parcel shelves that are optional on the coupe. The trunk is generously sized for an exotic sports car and has enough room for a set of golf clubs and a suitcase. On the other hand, the Volante suffers more wind buffeting than other convertibles.

With the ability to sprint to 60 mph in about 4.5 seconds and reach 183 mph, the rear-wheel-drive DB9 isn't the fastest in this class, but it's hardly a slouch. Unless you regularly drag race Ferraris, you're still almost guaranteed to be first onto the freeway, thanks to the undeniable power of the Aston V12. But the DB9 isn’t meant just to be quick. This is a grand touring car that's intended to be comfortable for many miles and long stretches. The 2014 DB9 achieves that thanks to its 3-stage Adaptive Damping System that can soften the suspension for cruising or tighten it to hug corners. Other highlights include the steering wheel's progressive feedback and the overall comfort and quiet of the cabin. The DB9's 6-speed automatic transmission is snappy, but when in manual mode is slower to react. If you choose to go topless in the Volante convertible, be prepared to contend with pronounced wind buffeting.

BANG & OLUFSEN BeoSound AUDIOWe’ve heard a lot of sound systems in a lot of cars, but the Bang & Olufsen setups in Aston Martins are something magical. Aside from its sheer power output – 1,000 watts for those counting – this optional system is tuned to bring audiophile bliss that rivals the DB9’s excellent exhaust note.OH, THOSE LOOKSYou don't have to drive a DB9 to sense its special place among automobiles. All it takes is one look. Aston Martins are as much rolling artwork as they are road-going rocket, and the latest DB9 is no exception.

With its bounty of leather and array of elegant touches like magnesium shift paddles and glass switches, you don’t need to be part of the Royal Family to appreciate the DB9’s well-crafted interior. This is what sport and elegance are all about – at least if you’re in the sculpted front seats. The tiny rear seats are best viewed as parcel shelves, and in coupes, there's an option to leave them out altogether. Amid the DB9’s dash is the docking station for the “Emotional Control Unit” or ECU, a glass and steel key that makes the Aston roar to life. Instead of a traditional gear selector, the DB9 is put into drive, reverse, park and neutral via buttons that straddle where the key is inserted. Also different is the handbrake, which is to the left of the driver's seat.

If paint can be called lucky, the coats applied to the DB9’s curves are surely blessed. With a low profile, long hood and big rear fenders that resemble toned muscles, the 2014 Aston Martin DB9 is a portrait of elegance and strength. The Aston's sweeping looks begin up front with its elongated headlights with integrated LED side lamps, and end with a snubbed rear and dual exhaust outlets. Volante convertible models substitute a power-operated fabric top for the coupe's low-slung metal roof.

The 2014 Aston Martin DB9 comes with a V12 engine, 6-speed automatic transmission, exceptional carbon-ceramic brakes and 20-inch alloy wheels with Pirelli P Zero tires. Inside are full-grain leather, heated front seats, satellite navigation system and 700-watt sound system with 6-disc changer, integrated iPod controller and USB/auxiliary inputs. Front and rear parking sensors and a rear-view camera will help you maneuver your supercar in tight spots. Other notable touches include a trunk-mounted umbrella and a Lamy pen. The Volante convertible adds a power-operated soft top with a glass rear window.

Options on the 2014 DB9 include the superb-sounding B&O audio system, a 2+0 seating option in the coupe, satellite radio and various wheel choices. Carbon-fiber packages are available for both the interior and exterior. The former includes carbon fiber on the shift paddles and door pulls, while the latter adds it to the coupe’s front splitter, rear diffuser and mirror arms. For a cozier feel, a leather headliner is available.

The 2014 DB9 has an aluminum 6.0-liter V12 gasoline engine that sends 510 horsepower to the rear wheels. The engine is front mid-mounted (in front of the passengers but behind the front wheels) for an advantageous weight distribution and its contribution to superior handling. The sole transmission choice is a 6-speed automatic with manual-shift mode. Premium fuel is required, and the DB9 also has a gas guzzler tax of $ 1,700.6.0-liter V12510 @ 6,500 rpm457 @ 4,000 rpmEPA city/highway fuel economy: 13/19 mpg

The 2014 Aston Martin DB9 has a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of around $ 187,000 for the coupe and $ 202,000 for a Volante convertible. Options can add tens of thousands to each model. At these prices, the DB9 costs more than a Porsche 911 Turbo S, Jaguar XKR-S, Maserati GranTurismo or Bentley Continental GT, and is in line with starting prices of the Mercedes-Benz SLS and Ferrari California. Ordinarily, our Fair Purchase Price would tell you the best price to pay for a 2014 DB9, but we don’t expect many Aston Martin buyers or dealers to be haggling over the bottom line.
