• This Aston was ordered with more than $40,000 worth of options from the factory.
• Driving the DB11 is a 5.2-liter twin-turbocharged V12 with 630 hp and 516 lb-ft.
• Last year, the same car traded hands for $190,000 despite only being a year old.

Not too long ago, this 2023 Aston Martin DB11 had an eye-watering sticker price of $276,786. Fast forward a couple of years and its value has plummeted. In fact, earlier this week, the same sports car traded hands for just $174,000, despite the fact that it has been driven a mere 497 miles (800 km).

A Rapid Decline

The biggest financial blow landed on the original owner, who watched $86,786 vanish after driving the car just 290 miles. The second owner fared slightly better, but still walked away with a $16,000 loss after adding only 207 miles. This extraordinary amount of depreciation just goes to show that if you want a sports car or GT that will at least somewhat hold its value, buying an Aston Martin probably isn’t the smartest idea.

The window sticker tells part of the story. While the DB11’s base MSRP stood at $232,500, this particular example was optioned heavily, pushing the final figure well beyond that. Highlights include a $9,000 Bang & Olufsen BeoSound audio system, $1,600 for black Aston Martin badges, $1,600 for ventilated front seats, $3,200 for 20-inch black wheels, $1,200 smoked taillights, and over $10,000 worth of interior trim upgrades, including $2,100 of piano black detailing.

Adorning the exterior is a shade called China Grey, which works well alongside the various black accents. Overall, it’s a fairly conservative spec and one would have presumed this would help it to avoid disastrous levels of depreciation. Obviously, that didn’t happen.

Bring a Trailer

A look at the Bring a Trailer auction shows that most of the depreciation was done during the first year. In July 2024, the car was sold with 290 miles (467 km) on the clock for $190,000, a massive decline of $86,786 in just over one year.

No doubt contributing to the falling value of the car is that the DB11 was, in mid-2023, replaced by the DB12 which benefits from more power, an updated design, and a much more modern interior.

However, this isn’t to say the DB11 isn’t impressive in its own right. It is powered by a twin-turbocharged 5.2-liter V12 engine producing 630 hp and 516 lb-ft (700 Nm) of torque that’s mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels.
