Nominal annual, subject to underwriting
Indicative, not a quotation. Calculated on the £225,000 list price at 9.9% nominal over 48 months.
An Aston Martin DBS Superleggera is £2,160 a month on Lease Purchase, calculated on £56,250 down against the £225,000 list price over 48 months at 9.9%, with £123,750 deferred to the end. Production finished in 2023 and the cars we fund are used, bought below list, so the payment falls with the price. This is the cheapest route to a twin-turbo V12 grand tourer that anyone on this site will offer you.
Aston Martin DBS Superleggera finance deals and what they cost
Car finance deals are usually quoted as one monthly figure with the structure hidden behind it, which makes them impossible to compare. The table prices the same Aston Martin DBS Superleggera three ways, on a 25% deposit of £56,250 over 48 months at an indicative 9.9% nominal. Only the structure changes, so the gap between rows is the cost of the structure rather than the car.
| Vehicle | Structure | Price | Deposit | Term | Balloon | Rate | Monthly |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aston Martin DBS Superleggera | Hire Purchase | £225,000 | £56,250 (25%) | 48 months | None | 9.9% | £4,272 |
| Aston Martin DBS Superleggera | Lease Purchase | £225,000 | £56,250 (25%) | 48 months | £123,750 (55%) | 9.9% | £2,160 |
| Aston Martin DBS Superleggera | Personal Contract Purchase | £225,000 | £56,250 (25%) | 48 months | £101,250 (45%) | 9.9% | £2,544 |
Indicative only and not a quotation. Figures are calculated on a balance-with-balloon amortisation at the nominal annual rate shown, and assume no fees. Final terms depend on the commercial lender's underwriting, your circumstances, and the vehicle's specification and provenance.
Hire Purchase amortises the whole balance, which is why it is the highest payment at £4,272 and the only row with no final payment to plan for. Lease Purchase defers £123,750 to a final balloon, taking £2,112 a month off. Personal Contract Purchase looks similar and differs underneath, because that final payment is a Guaranteed Minimum Future Value the lender stands behind rather than a balloon you have agreed to pay.
The Aston Martin DBS Superleggera was Gaydon's flagship from 2018 to 2023 and the last of the V12 DBS line. Seven hundred and fifteen brake horsepower and 900 Nm from the 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12, 3.4 seconds to 62 mph, 211 mph, carbon-fibre body panels over the bonded aluminium structure and carbon-ceramic brakes as standard rather than as an option. It replaced the Vanquish and it signed off a V12 grand touring lineage that had run for the better part of two decades.
A finished flagship is an easier asset to price than a current one. There is no order book, no allocation and no discounting to distort the market, and five model years of transactions sit behind it. The event that normally damages a flagship's value, the arrival of its replacement, has already occurred here. What a lender is setting at the end of a DBS Superleggera term is therefore a measurement rather than a forecast.
The range within the nameplate matters. Standard coupe, Volante, the 007 and Concorde special editions and the 770 Ultimate that closed the line at 499 cars all sit at different points, and Q by Aston Martin commissioning widens the spread again. The standard coupe is the car this page is about, and pricing an expectation of it against what a 770 Ultimate has done is the most common error a buyer makes here.

Which finance structure suits the Aston Martin DBS Superleggera
| Structure | Monthly | Final payment | Ownership | Suits you if |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hire Purchase | £4,272 | None | Yours on the final payment | You own it at the end and want no balloon to plan for |
| Lease Purchase | £2,160 | £123,750 | Yours from day one | You want the lower payment and will settle or refinance the balloon |
| Personal Contract Purchase | £2,544 | £101,250 guaranteed | Optional, on paying the GMFV | You want the lender rather than you to carry the residual risk |
Computed at 9.9% over 48 months on a 25% deposit.
Our answer on the DBS Superleggera is Lease Purchase. The deferred balance on an Aston Martin DBS Superleggera is being set against a used market that has already settled, so carrying £123,750 to the end of the term is a smaller exposure here than on any current Aston Martin.
Hire Purchase at £4,272 is the structure for a buyer who intends to keep the car, and a meaningful number do. This was the last of the naturally charismatic V12 DBS line, it is finished, and owning one outright at the end of the term rather than facing a decision is a defensible reason to pay more each month.
If you came here looking for Aston Martin DBS Superleggera leasing or lease deals, the distinction worth knowing is that we do not arrange contract hire, where the car goes back at the end and was never yours. Lease Purchase is the structure closest to what most people mean by leasing a DBS Superleggera: the same lower monthly payment, with legal ownership from the first payment. Contract hire on cars of this value is rare, and sites offering it usually quote short-term rental rather than finance.
Aston Martin residuals have been the marque's weak point for two decades, and the current generation is the first serious attempt to fix it. The Aston Martin DBS Superleggera sits inside that position as a superseded series car working its way down toward its floor, which is where the value in the deal usually is.
What a lender sees in the Aston Martin DBS Superleggera
A commercial lender underwrites the Aston Martin DBS Superleggera as an asset before it underwrites you as a borrower. The engine is where that starts: a 5.2L Twin-Turbo V12 engine producing 715 bhp, with 3.4s 0-62mph and 211 mph, puts this car in a category a specialist lender recognises. A DBS Superleggera at £225,000 and specified to £320,000 is also not one asset with one value, and options rarely come back at what they cost.
| DBS Superleggera | |
|---|---|
| Engine | 5.2L Twin-Turbo V12 |
| Power | 715 bhp |
| Torque | 900 Nm |
| 0-62mph | 3.4s 0-62mph |
| Top speed | 211 mph |
| Transmission | 8-speed automatic |
| Drivetrain | RWD |
| List price | £225,000 |
| Specified to | £320,000 |
| Production | 2018-2023 |
The 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12 is the asset and the running cost in one component. It is a large, well documented engine with a settled service position, which lenders are comfortable with over a long term, and it is also expensive to maintain properly. Where the service file shows the V12 has been looked after by the main dealer network, longer terms become easier to place and the end valuation improves accordingly.
Carbon-fibre body panels change the damage conversation. A repaired panel on an Aston Martin DBS Superleggera is specialist work, and a lender reads the vehicle record with that in mind, particularly on a car now several years old. Correctly documented approved repair is manageable. Undeclared or non-approved work is where a case either shortens the term or requires a larger contribution.
Q by Aston Martin commissioning creates a specification spread wide enough to matter. Paint, trim, wheels and interior detailing can separate two cars of the same year by a great deal on the original invoice, and the used market does not follow that gap proportionally. Lenders ask for the original commission documentation on this model as a matter of routine rather than as an exception.
DBS Superleggera features that bear on the valuation
- Carbon-fibre body panels
- Twin-turbo V12 powertrain
- Adaptive damping
- Carbon-ceramic brakes standard
- Q by Aston Martin per-customer commissioning
What a lender wants to see on a DBS Superleggera
- Continuous Aston Martin main dealer history with the V12 service schedule documented
- The original Q by Aston Martin commission sheet where the car was specified through it
- A clean vehicle record with any carbon panel repair carried out through approved channels
- Clear identification of coupe or Volante and of any special edition status on the invoice
- The current factory-backed warranty position and its expiry relative to the term
Financing a used Aston Martin DBS Superleggera
Every Aston Martin DBS Superleggera agreement is a used one now, and the market is deep enough to be selective. Coupe or Volante, standard or special edition, and a mileage range from delivery to genuinely used. Because the model is finished, the price you negotiate is the single largest lever on the monthly payment, and it is worth more attention than anything else in the transaction.
Provenance is what a lender reads on a car of this age. Continuous main dealer history, a clean record with no outstanding finance, an ownership chain that makes sense and evidence that the V12 has been serviced rather than merely driven. A well documented car with reasonable mileage places more easily than a low-mileage car with an unexplained two-year gap, and it will also be worth more when the balloon falls due.
Pre-owned cars price the same way with smaller numbers. A used DBS Superleggera at £124,000, on the same 25% deposit and 9.9% rate, comes to £2,354 a month on Hire Purchase. Age matters less to a lender than provenance, whatever the mileage reads.
How the Aston Martin DBS Superleggera holds its value
Cars from the first two model years reached the used market well below their list price by the early 2020s, which is the pattern that made Aston Martin residuals the marque's known weakness. Since production ended in 2023 the standard coupe has flattened, which is what superseded flagships have consistently done once the factory stops adding supply.
The 770 Ultimate is a separate story and it belongs to those 499 cars rather than to the model as a whole. Run-out editions in a closed number have firmed as production ended, and they were oversubscribed at the point of announcement. A standard Aston Martin DBS Superleggera does not inherit that behaviour, and building your expectation of a coupe's value on the Ultimate's market is the fastest route to a disappointing conversation at the end of a term.
The DBS Superleggera has already taken the fall that made Aston Martin residuals a talking point. Buying afterwards is a better trade than buying protection against it.
Everything here about the DBS Superleggera market is commentary on transactions that already happened, not a valuation and not a forecast. The residual value in your agreement is the lender's figure, set on the specific Aston Martin you are buying.
Part exchange and settlement on a Aston Martin DBS Superleggera
Three things can happen at the end of a Lease Purchase term on a Aston Martin DBS Superleggera, and it is worth knowing which you are planning for. You settle the £123,750 balloon and keep the car, you refinance it over a further term, or you part exchange the DBS Superleggera and take whatever sits above the balloon as equity toward the next one.
A twin-turbo V12 costs what a twin-turbo V12 costs, and that is the honest starting point. Servicing, fuel, tyres proportionate to 900 Nm and insurance at flagship levels. None of it is unexpected and all of it should sit in the same budget line as the payment, because on a car of this age the maintenance figure can exceed the difference between two finance quotes several times over.
The warranty position varies car by car and is worth establishing before you fix the term. Aston Martin's factory-backed used-car cover and its extensions materially change the cost of years three and four on a used Aston Martin DBS Superleggera, and a car that carries cover through the whole agreement is a different financial proposition from one that runs out halfway.
Part exchange is the route most owners take, and it is where the residual value does the most work. If the DBS Superleggera is worth more than the balloon, the difference becomes the deposit on your next agreement. If it is worth less, the Guaranteed Minimum Future Value protects you on Personal Contract Purchase, while on Lease Purchase the shortfall is yours.
Early settlement is available on every structure we arrange, but the settlement figure is calculated under the terms of the agreement rather than under the Consumer Credit Act rebate rules. Ask us for it in writing before you fix a sale date on the DBS Superleggera.
How we arrange Aston Martin DBS Superleggera finance
Tell us about the car
Specification, mileage, history and where you are buying the DBS Superleggera. On a £225,000 asset the car drives the underwriting as much as you do.
We approach the right lenders
Not every commercial lender writes Aston Martin paper, and those that do price it differently. As an independent credit broker we place the deal across a panel.
We structure the agreement
Deposit, term and the deferred amount. A 25% deposit of £56,250 over 48 months is our starting point on the DBS Superleggera.
Underwriting and payout
The lender verifies the car and your position, issues the credit agreement and pays the vendor. Most DBS Superleggera agreements complete inside a week, anywhere in the United Kingdom.
Other models from Gaydon we finance
The Aston Martin DBS Superleggera sits at £225,000 in a range we finance end to end. Either side of it are the DBX 707 at £189,000 and the Valkyrie at £2,500,000, and the monthly payment moves broadly in step with list price when deposit and term are held constant.
The other Aston Martin cars we arrange finance deals on are the Aston Martin DB12, the Aston Martin Vantage, the Aston Martin DBX 707 and the Aston Martin Valkyrie, each with its own page and payment table, because a lender does not price a range, it prices a car.
Aston Martin DBS Superleggera finance FAQs
Against the £225,000 list price with £56,250 contributed over 48 months at an indicative 9.9% nominal, the DBS Superleggera is £2,160 a month on Lease Purchase with £123,750 deferred, or £4,272 on Hire Purchase with nothing to settle. Since production ended, the cars we place are used and bought below list, so the real payment is lower. Enter the asking price of the specific car into the calculator above.
Yes, and it is the structure we arrange most often on this model. You take ownership from the first payment, the monthly figure stays low because £123,750 is deferred to the end, and at that point you settle it, refinance against the car or clear it by selling. On a superseded flagship whose used market has already settled, the deferred figure is measured against something real rather than forecast.
The standard coupe has levelled rather than risen. Early cars reached the used market well below list by the early 2020s and values have flattened since the line closed in 2023, which is normal behaviour for a superseded flagship. The car in the family that firmed is the 770 Ultimate, built in a closed run of 499. We would not write an agreement on a standard DBS Superleggera that depends on appreciation.
25% is the working figure, which is £56,250 against the £225,000 list price and proportionally less against a used purchase price. The contribution carries more weight on this model than on a current car, because the lender is underwriting a vehicle that already has several years behind it. Where the service history is complete and the ownership chain is clean, that requirement eases before anything else in the quote moves.
Yes, and a substantial share of these agreements are written that way, with the vehicle capitalised on the company balance sheet. Because the transaction is unregulated commercial finance rather than regulated consumer credit, the lender underwrites the company position alongside the asset itself. Your accountant should confirm the treatment before you commit, as it depends on how the car is used and on the structure of the business.
They sit at opposite ends of the same question. The DB12 is current, carries a factory warranty and has its depreciation ahead of it, so the lender's end figure is a forecast and a guaranteed value is worth buying. The DBS Superleggera is finished, has taken its fall and is priced against a settled market, so the deferred balance is measured rather than predicted. The DBS is the cheaper V12 route, the DB12 the newer proposition.
