As above, my MD really just buys things without looking into things properly. As much as I adore the Aston what other cars would be available... budget between £40k - £60k, does not like porsche for some reason!

Thanks

Noble.

Good shout, an excelent alternative to something like a DB9, given the obvious similarilities between the two cars. If I was after a big GT like a DB9 the Noble (Which model are you thinking of?) would be on my shortlist for sure.

As far as I think, I'm not sure there is much else available at this pricepoint. Early Gallardo perhaps? Not quite as GT as the DB9 though, more a V8 Vantage rival.

Maserati of some description? Gransport perhaps?

Nissan GTR?

Not sure how suitable it would be, but it's in budget. ;)

Well, it's just as sensible a DB9 alternative as a Noble I guess....

Jag XKR would be an option I'd have thought. Maseratis of various flavours as well.

Or this, and keep the rest of the cash in reserve for the inevitable Big Bill™. Power, opulence, just about sure-footed enough to get around corners properly, not git-ish in the slightest and oh-so cool. That would be my choice anyway, because I'm clinically insane.
 
So basically the DB9 is a pretty great 1st choice then?

He just bought a dodge ram, god the engine sounds superb!
 
If he's got cars already and enough money surely each person has there own 'classic I've wanted one of those since I was 11' cars that he should look at, a Mustang, Corvette, old Jag, DB7, etc...?

DB9 is certainly not a bad choice. I assume he's aware of the running costs and can afford it all?
 
Its also a LHD only american supercar with a typically american interior

Not going to appeal to an MD in the mood for an Aston.

Audi R8 is a good shout actually. Being audi very good build quality, and not really commanding a premium anymore since theres plenty of stock about now.
 
yeah you know what your getting with Audi, plus that low ride with those LED lights mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm but i checked on autotrader few going around the 60k mark anywhere ranging from the 20kmiles mark to 35k miles
 
Ferrari 550/575?

550 is getting on a bit now, but a 575 is about the same year as what age DB9 he'll be getting at that price, and both sit comfortably within his budget.

depends if the MD is thinking new DB9 or not

My MD has matching his and hers DB9s with hers being the volante version. Makes me sick :(
 
SL55 / 65, Continental GT...it sort of depends on why he chose the DB9 in the first place.
