It has a pop-up screen if you like, but if you leave the nav off, it’ll stay down.  And yes, not having a screen is now amazing.

They have carbon ceramic as standard, so yeah, it’s eye watering.  They often squeak, too.  But if you can find a quiet set, they’re amazing until you get soap on them.

They’re mistaken that it’s a 1 of 1. DBS 2010 manual Volantes are very rare, but I have pics of one that Miller Motorcars was offering a couple years ago. The best authority is the official registry at astonmartins.com If something is truly unique, they’ll state it. Tim can run the VIN and look for sisters.

Agreed. The DB9s are in my biased opinion a crazy good used car value. The ‘05-’08 auto coupes can get in the 30s easy. Now, if you’re a three-pedal addict, they’re pretty easy to find in that age range, but become super rare in the ‘09-11 range, especially in the Volante (convertible).
