The True Cost of Owning an Aston Martin DB9
Three Years of Aston Martin Ownership
Aston Martin: The Grand Tourer?
Many people associate Aston Martin with grand touring cars, but this is more accurate for larger models like the DB9 and Vanquish. The DB9, in particular, has a significant depreciation expense, which is often overlooked when discussing car ownership costs.
Depreciation: The Hidden Cost
The DB9's depreciation accounts for nearly half (46%) of its total ownership costs. Launched with an MSRP of $170,000–$215,000, its value has since dropped to between $40,000–$75,000. However, the value of a car typically increases 20 years after production ceases, making it rare and iconic.
Ownership Costs Breakdown
Daily ownership costs for the DB9 amount to $220.7 or $1.59 per mile driven over five years and 27,307 miles. Depreciation is the most significant expense, followed by maintenance, fuel, and insurance.
