2007 Aston Martin DB9 Volante

Description

This 2007 Aston Martin DB9 Volante has been a classic from day one. After all, with a distinctly elegant color combo, a smoothly powerful V12, drop-top grand touring appeal, and the ideal mix of luxury & performance, this is truly the best of Britain.

Power, beauty, soul - it's the mantra of Aston Martin, and this convertible embodies all of it. There has always been an aggressive elegance about an Aston Martin, even before James Bond drove one on screen. The DB9 has the echoes of those designs while also having a sleekness that is still echoed in today's cars. That's why it's already a classic. With this in mind, it's great to see a car like this one that has averaged only 1400 miles annually. There are a few signs of responsible enjoyment, but the overall impression is that it certainly looks the part of a low-mileage and well-respected machine. That reverence comes from buying a hand-crafted exotic. And since these are bespoke vehicles, we especially love the choice of Celeste Blue Metallic paint. The bright style has a nice glow that makes the car unique without getting vulgar. There are plenty of other beautiful details. The headlight covers recall some of the best classic racers and remain crystal clear today. The 15-spoke polished alloys are all about presenting a look of refined power. And the dark blue power folding top creates a great double blue sophistication that only the British really know how to pull off.

Even the doors on the DB9 are part of its charm. They don't just swing out like a standard door, and the Lamborghini-style scissors would be too uncouth for a dignified machine. So you get this elegant "swan" motion that arches upward for easier accessibility and a cool showing of class. The creamy white upholstery is hand-stitched from carefully selected leather. So you need not worry about enjoying time in this car because hides like this are more about wearing them in than wearing them out. This supple leather kicks off a long list of luxury features, including power seats, keyless entry/alarm, power locks, power mirrors, dual airbags, power steering, a tilt/telescopic steering column, cruise control, and a premium AM/FM/CD stereo system with Bluetooth. And we particularly love the way the navigation screen raises from the blonde wood on top of the dash. And because you have a power convertible top and power windows, you never have to leave the driver's seat to go from enclosed luxury to a wind-in-your-hair experience. Plus, with the automatic A/C climate control and heated seats, you and your passenger get to dial-in an individual level of top-down comfort all year long. But the heart of it all is how this one speaks to your enthusiast's soul. There's an extra tingle of performance when you grasp the leather-wrapped sports steering wheel, push the start button, and see the gauges dance as you hear the motor roar to life.

The V12 is part of the craftsman build, and proper care means it continues to look fresh and attractive. But don't let this ultra-clean presentation keep you from adding miles to the odometer. After all, this convertible is a true driver's machine. The fuel-injected 5.9-liter motor sings a 450-hp symphony. You control it all through Aston's six-speed that has F1-style paddle-activated electronically-operated shifts. There's even a fully automatic mode for grand touring comfort. As you look at the undercarriage photos, you'll basically see nothing but flat panels for better aerodynamics - another race-inspired piece that proves how serious a performance machine this is. You'll also spot all the right features, like the fully independent sports suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, and grippy Bridgestone Potenza tires.

Complete with the owner's guide you'd expect to pay a lot more to get this level of drop-top performance, luxury, and exclusivity. Don't miss your opportunity, call today!
