Nice low mileage Toro Red DB9 possibly coming up for sale later this year
Phew! Glad I don't do red cars!
Are they ruinously expensive to run? Please please please say yes!

Nope
Certainly a lot less than a Maserati. Check out Aston Martin Fixed Priced Servicing as a guide. And not much breaks on them.
You're really really not helping you know!

Faster than the thoroughly modern, if smaller engined Supra MK5 too.Its funny because the Aston Martin DBS did a 1 minute 24 around the top gear track with a V12 engine. This was a full second slower than the Mc Stradale which only has a v8.
12 of them and a lot of labour but not a concern until 70K miles.
Point taken. Mostly labour I think. It is a bit tight in there! But it is on mileage not time which is good.The point I was making was the difference in price between 8 and 12 - being £280 and £1100.
My experience as well. Nothing broken in 2 years and each 4200 service at an Indie was way more expensive than the DB9 at a main dealer.12 of them and a lot of labour but not a concern until 70K miles. I own both marques and can say the Aston has cost me a lot less and been a lot easier to service, just taking into account basic servicing by the book. If you are buying new and go through the cost of ownership over the first 4 years you will see a big difference also. Then if something does break and you need a part the gulf gets wider again. It is what it is and it wouldn't influence my choice but that is my experience.

I loved my GT
I probably would miss the back seats...
God I'm thinking I can scratch two itches at once...
I'm not hearing any reasons why I wouldn't get one, other than my personal onese
