2013 Aston Martin DB9

This car is offered from outside of the European Union. It has been imported under temporary admission customs bond and is therefore subject to Dutch import tax (9%) on top of the winning bid price. Cars less than 30 years old will pay 10% Dutch import tax plus 21% VAT on the hammer. If exporting immediately to another country, then tax/duty will only be paid in that country.

The winning bidder will pay €500 customs charge on top of the ‘hammer’ price.

The winning bidder will receive a receipt for the final hammer value, as their proof of purchase.

This vehicle has been on static display in the Middle East for a number of years and the only history or paperwork available is displayed in the photo gallery. In all cases the papers shown are photocopies unless otherwise stated. We do not have the original paperwork.

Unless otherwise stated, we have not tried to start or drive the car and cannot vouch for its mechanical viability or functionality. The car is not registered anywhere.

It will require recommissioning prior to road use and is sold ‘as seen’.

As CARS Europe BV is the guarantor of all customs duties and taxes for vehicles within Dutch customs bond, the car cannot be released until full payment received.

All storage charges (€30 + local VAT per day commencing from the sixth day following the auction end) must be paid in full prior to the vehicle’s collection or onward transportation. Collection and viewings are strictly by appointment only.

Please send an email to the storage centre to ensure vehicle(s) are ready at time of collection. Photographic ID will be required at time of collection. If a third party is collecting for you, then written authorisation is required in advance from you and photographic ID of the third party is required at the time of collection.

CARS Europe BV will contact you after the balance payment is received to confirm onward transport requirements. For enquiries about import tax and shipping contact Madam Joanna Herlihy, +31 (0) 252 682 526, +44 7483 433912, joanna@carseurope.net.

In common with many vehicles from the vendor’s collection, this 2013 LHD auto Aston Martin DB9 Coupé comes with no history or service records beyond whatever is shown in the documents section.

It has just 104 miles on its odometer.

It is Casino Royale Grey with Chancellor Red upholstery and Black Cherry carpets.

The car takes power from a battery charger and the dashboard lights up but the car doesn’t currently turn over or start.

It was bought new for the vendor’s collection of static display vehicles in 2013.

We haven’t started or driven the car, so our appraisal of it is entirely based on its cosmetic appearance.

It comes with the ‘crystal’ key and one other.

The car’s bodywork, not surprisingly on a car that’s yet to make any kind of significant impression on its first tank of petrol, is in excellent condition and there are no dinks, creases or other blemishes to speak of.

The ‘Casino Royale’ grey metallic paintwork is beyond criticism as are the wheels, trim, chrome, lights, lenses, badging (including some dealership badging) and all exterior fixtures and fittings.

In every measurable way, this is a new car that just happens to be a decade old.

The condition of the interior is entirely commensurate with its external condition.

The Chancellor Red leather upholstery - front and back - looks like it’s never hosted a human form and shows no signs of wear, age or use.

The seats are comfortable and supportive, as you would expect.

The door cards are also in immaculate order, as is the headlining, the ‘Black Cherry’ carpets and the walnut veneers on the centre console and door cappings.

We can’t make any claims about the full functionality of switches, knobs, levers, toggles, buttons, dials or other electrics as we haven’t started or driven the car.

The clean, dry engine and engine bay look fine and the undersides of the car appear to have plenty of structural integrity.

This car comes with no history and no service records, but it does have its specification sheet.

It must be registered in the country of your choice and you will need to contact the appropriate vehicle licensing agency for instructions on how to do this.

No documents shown in the gallery in any way constitute any kind of licensing or registration certification unless otherwise stated.

This very fine delivery-miles Aston Martin DB9 is clearly in pretty much as-new condition. Provided, of course, that the engine, electrics and mechanicals are amenable to recommissioning and as good as the rest of it, we think you’ll be getting a virtually ‘brand-new’ DB9 for the price of a 10-year-old one.

We’re confident to offer this car for auction with an estimate of €40,000-€60,000.

Viewing is always encouraged, and this particular car is located in a bonded warehouse near Amsterdam. To arrange an appointment please use the Contact Seller button at the top of the listing.
