I want to personally welcome you all to comment and bid!\r\n\r\nThis delicious DB9 is absolutely pristine inside and out as a result of fanatical ownership. The interior, featuring the Contemporary ($4955) and Bang & Olufsen Audio ($8330) option packages, is pristine with supple, inviting full leather with deviated stitching. Several superficial rock chips/blemishes motivated the owner to have the front bumper and hood recently refinished to a very high level. Once the paint was given ample time to cure, the entire front end of the car was safeguarded with a fresh installation of Xpel Ultimate PPF. The 5.9L V12 breathes better than new thanks to a recent replacement of the factory air filters and installation of Velocity AP secondary cat bypass pipes (I am told this car should still pass CA Smog with these pipes installed). A gentleman's sports car, this DB9 offers incredible value in today's market considering its original $207,660 MSRP. As the owner shifts focus towards his next automotive adventure (F430), I am thrilled to be offering this incredibly well-optioned Aston to the BaT community and look forward to interacting with you all throughout the process. \r\n\r\nI\u2019ll be here for the duration to answer any questions and encourage conversation.
