Finished in Onyx Black over Obsidian Black leather with red piping, it remained with its original California owner until August 2026 before being acquired by the selling dealer. The odometer shows 8,000 miles, the Carfax report is clean, and bidding stands at $40,000 with six days remaining.2014 Aston Martin DB9Bring a TrailerWhat it's worth right nowRecent DB9 results give this car a useful bracket. A 7k-mile 2015 DB9 coupe sold for $72,500 on Bring a Trailer in March 2026, while a 26k-mile 2014 example sold for $47,751 in November 2025. A 20k-mile 2015 Carbon Edition reached $83,007 in January 2026, although its special-edition status and Cobalt Blue specification make it a stronger collector proposition than a standard DB9.AdvertisementAdvertisementThere is an even closer historical comparison. Another 9k-mile 2014 DB9 in Onyx Black over Obsidian Black sold for $74,000 in May 2024, then returned to Bring a Trailer and sold for $56,500 in November of the same year. That swing shows how sensitive these cars remain to timing, presentation, history, and bidder interest.2014 Aston Martin DB9Bring a TrailerThis example has several things working in its favor. The mileage is exceptionally low, it stayed with one owner until this month, the Carfax report shows no accidents, and the factory specification includes both Carbon packs, Bang & Olufsen audio, and costly diamond-turned wheels. The main restraint is the absence of service history in the listing. Fair value lands between $65,000 and $78,000, with $72,000 my most likely result. The current $40,000 bid has plenty of room to move with six days remaining.Condition and detailsThe specification is the headline. The Exterior Carbon Pack adds a carbon-fiber front spoiler, rear bumper accent, and mirror caps, while the Interior Carbon Pack brings carbon-fiber cabin trim, paddle shifters, and door pulls. The 20-inch split-spoke diamond-turned wheels were a $4,920 option, the Bang & Olufsen BeoSound system added $8,330, and the Interior Carbon Pack alone cost $5,380. The digital window sticker lists a total suggested retail price of $218,812.50.2014 Aston Martin DB9Bring a TrailerThe cabin combines Obsidian Black leather with red piping and Aston Martin wings embroidered into the headrests. Heated power-adjustable front seats, memory settings, a rearview camera, retractable navigation screen, parking sensors, and the Bang & Olufsen system cover the major comfort equipment. The clean Carfax report lists no accidents or other reported damage.2014 Aston Martin DB9Bring a TrailerWhat the listing does not provide is equally important. No service history is described, and the Goodyear tires are listed without visible date information in the auction text. Eight thousand miles over twelve years means time matters more than wear in several areas. A pre-purchase inspection should include the brake discs, adaptive dampers, suspension bushings, tire dates, battery condition, fluid history, and a scan for stored electrical faults. Service invoices would also help establish whether this car's low mileage reflects careful preservation or long periods with limited maintenance.2014 Aston Martin DB9Bring a TrailerAdvertisementAdvertisementThe offerSpecificationDetailMakeAston MartinModelDB9Year2014Mileage8,000 milesEngine5.9-liter V12Power510 horsepower and 457 lb-ft of torqueTransmissionSix-speed Touchtronic 2 automatic transaxleDrive typeRear-wheel drive with limited-slip differentialExterior colorOnyx BlackInterior colorObsidian Black leather with red pipingOriginal MSRP$218,812.50Current bid$40,000 with six days remainingInterested in this car? View the listing hereWhat makes the DB9 uniqueThe later DB9 was far more than the original 2004 design with different lights. Aston Martin's revisions brought the AM11 V12 to 510 bhp, carbon-ceramic brakes, and a more advanced adaptive suspension while retaining the bonded aluminum structure that defined the company's VH-generation cars. Aston Martin says the DB9 bodyshell weighed 25% less than the DB7's while delivering twice its torsional rigidity.2014 Aston Martin DB9Bring a TrailerThe 2013 model year revision also moved the DB9 into territory previously occupied by the DBS. Power climbed to the same 510 bhp figure as the earlier DBS, while carbon-ceramic brakes and three-stage adaptive damping became part of the package. The result was a grand tourer that retained the DB9's restrained styling while gaining much of the hardware once reserved for Aston Martin's more aggressive flagship.That matters today because the formula has disappeared. A naturally aspirated V12, rear-wheel drive, hydraulic steering, carbon-ceramic brakes, and styling this restrained belong to a very different period of Aston Martin. The later 510-horsepower cars also sit in a useful position between the earlier DB9s and the final DB9 GT.My takeAt $40,000 with six days remaining, this DB9 is nowhere near where I expect it to finish. My call is $72,000, with $78,000 possible if bidders value the mileage, one-owner history, and factory specification as strongly as they should. The closest recent 7k-mile 2015 coupe brought $72,500, and this car counters its one-year age difference with both Carbon packs, Bang & Olufsen audio, and an original sticker approaching $219,000.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe one thing I would not let 8,000 miles hide is age. The auction description gives no meaningful maintenance history, and twelve years is enough time for tires, fluids, batteries, dampers, bushings, and other components to age regardless of mileage. Carbon-ceramic brake condition also matters enough to justify a specialist inspection before bidding. If those checks come back clean and the service history fills in the blanks, this is exactly the kind of late DB9 that deserves to sit at the stronger end of the market.Disclaimer: This post is for informational purposes only.
