2023 Aston Martin DB11

The 2023 Aston Martin DB11 is a statement of automotive artistry, blending potent performance with opulent luxury. For the used car shopper, this model year stands out with an exceptional reliability record, boasting no recalls or consumer complaints filed with NHTSA.

While not a widespread issue on the 2023 model, ignition coils on high-performance V12 engines can degrade over time, leading to misfires and reduced engine performance. This is a common wear item on many turbocharged V12 applications.

Early detection can help you avoid a $800-$1,500 repair.
