One thing, the salesman stated that the redelivery check took 14 hours, but he also stated that they always take longer until they learn the car. They did the first check on the dealer’s car followed immediately by a customer’s car.
Salesman was scrabbling when I got there because when he went to fill it up with gas the tire pressure warning light came on. He was supposed to deliver car today and it was back in the shop.
Even though I agree with some of the things you are mentioning, comparing to other cars out there, this looks like very good value. The dealer where I ordered mine is very attentive to having everything perfect and making sure the customer is happy with their decision.
I see you are getting your SL in the bay area? Which dealer did you use to order your DB9?

Today I test drove the DB9 which I ordered and didn't take. I'll tell you it was very special. The slant of the windshild and how the front of the car is shaped makes you feel like you are in a spaceship.
I think if I had to drive one car, one time, it would have been the DB9. I think, for everyday, the SL is way more comfortable and has many more features. Even though the DB9 had problems, there was no question the Dealer would have done whatever it took to make the customer happy. I have a tremendous relationship with my Mercedes dealer but it is obvious to me that the Aston Martin service is just one step above. They will do anything for you.
There is no question, this DB9 is a sexy car and while it is missing a lot of things, its WOW factor is incredible. Wonder what happens over time. I am betting you want the features and the room. Hope I am right.
I think you made a great choice on your DB9. Like I said, I need for my SL600 to get itself here cause I am feelin it.
Got the car from Mercedes Benz of Pleasanton. Fantastic dealer and willing to do anything to make you happy. I'd say a way above average Dealer. I have only one mechanic that I use who is fantastic.
Are you final on your colors?
