Default Is A Used Aston Martin DBX A Good Deal?

Hey guys,

I recently had the privilege of reviewing a 2023 Aston Martin DBX. I had already reviewed the DBX 707 before, but I wanted to know what the "regular" version was all about. Frankly, it was really good, but with only 70% of the performance (all-around) of what the 707 offered. What's more enticing, is the fact that some 1 or 2 year old DBX's are going in the used market for low to mid $100K - which in my opinion is well worth it at that price. If you were to compare other vehicles in that price range (GLE 63, X5 M, SQ7 or RSQ8), the Aston is starting to look very attractive. I did a review on it, to show what it's all about and what you can potentially get in the $125K - $150K range. Let me know your thoughts!

Tune it and get 90% is my vote, make sure the one you are looking at has the other performance enhancements that you may or may not want that are standard on the 707

Well said - but dunno how tunable the DBX is. Given that it's the AMG 4.0L TT V8 - there has to be FBO mods out there that could bring the power up....

It's the Mercedes 4.0 engine, you can hit 1000hp with known combos if you want to. It's been figured out for a while now so totally safe to follow

When some says Aston Martin I think, yikes, can we get parts for it. Lol

I don't know why but I always fear that the rare exotics might be hard to get parts or find someone to work on it.

Goes back to the day when owning a Porsche required me to drive 40 miles to the Jaguar/Porsche dealer and prepay and then wait 2-3 weeks for them to call me and let me know I can come pick up my part. Lol

Maybe times have changed but it sounds like a special car.
