The immobilizer is not talking to the BCM, car is not starting

external

2014 Aston Martin DB9 Volante. The vehicle is absolutely beautiful and was running great until the engine immobilizer stopped talking to the BCM. Everything on the car works, the vehicle powers up including the convertible top, but is not running due to the engine immobilizer and needs either a new engine immobilizer refurbished, bcm refurbished or reprogramming. The car has less than 20k miles, V12, Carbon Ceramic brakes. I work out of the country and do not have the time or effort to get it fixed so I am letting it go cheap. This is the cheapest 2014, 19k mile Aston Martin DB9 in the U.S. It does have a rebuilt title and is not perfect, but it does look amazing and was running like a brand new car until the engine immobilizer decided to stop talking. If someone is a mechanic I am sure they can fix it and have a beautiful car to drive, but again, I just don't have the time or effort. I will be back in the U.S. on the 27th of this month until the 8th of next month and will be happy to show the car to anyone who is interested. Currently the car is in Pensacola Florida at a shop who cannot get the codes from Aston Martin so it will take a specialist who has the programming or just taken to Aston Martin for the fix. Even taking it to Aston Martin to get it fixed the new owner will have the cheapest new body DB9 Volante in the country. I am asking 38,500 and will not go lower as the next lowest one for sale in the U.S. is 51k with over 40k miles on it. If I don't sell it I will just put it in the garage until I can find the time to get it fixed and keep it myself. If interested message me on WhatsApp at 931-622-6441 and no I cannot take trades, I have too many cars as it is

The car is in a perfect condition, runs great, engine, transmission are so clean,air-condition is so cold like a freezer, the car is garage kept.

How PrivateAuto Works

Center

1. Make an offer

2. Schedule the meetup

3. Seal the deal

Left

We are the world’s first [automotive transactional marketplace](https://privateauto.com/what-is-a-transactional-marketplace). Everything you need to get the deal done, right in the palm of your hand. No giving out personal information. No stress about how to [transfer funds](https://privateauto.com/payments/the-best-way-to-pay-for-a-car). It’s so streamlined and intuitive, you’ll hardly believe it.

We streamline the process of buying a used car from a private seller. Here are the steps involved.

### Browse private-party used vehicles for sale.
Take a look at our awesome car listings. Sort and filter by make, model, vehicle type, geography, and other criteria. Whether you’re shopping for a Land Rover, a Honda Civic, or a Ford Mustang, you’ll find great vehicles from private-party sellers.

### Make offers on vehicles you like
When you see a vehicle you like, make an offer. Unlike other platforms, PrivateAuto allows you to offer what you’re willing to pay—instead of accepting the seller’s asking price.

### Schedule the test drive
When a seller accepts your offer, you can schedule a meetup without ever sharing your contact info. Messaging and scheduling happen within the PrivateAuto app.

### Get an inspection and vehicle history report
You can opt for a [vehicle inspection](https://privateauto.com/used-vehicle-inspection-guide) if you want to be sure about the car’s condition. You also may want to get a vehicle history report (included with premium listing on PrivateAuto).

### Finalize paperwork with the seller
When you and the seller meet for the test drive, you can handle the [title transfer](https://privateauto.com/blog/title-transfer), bill of sale, and other necessary [paperwork](https://privateauto.com/paperwork) in minutes. You and the seller will go through the transaction sequence in our mobile app, including signing an [official bill of sale](https://privateauto.com/bill-of-sale) that protects you both.

### Pay for the car
After the seller signs the bill of sale, you will be prompted to release payment via [PrivateAuto Pay, our integrated banking gateway](https://privateauto.com/payments/privateauto-pay). Funds will transfer instantly to the seller, any time of day, any day of the year. No fees for the money transfer. It’s magic. Using PrivateAuto Pay, you can even buy a car remotely—without the need for [escrow services](https://privateauto.com/escrow-service-for-used-car-transactions).

### Finalize with the DMV
After the car is yours, you’ll need to go to your local DMV (or equivalent motor vehicle regulatory agency for your state) to handle registration, transfer the [vehicle title](https://privateauto.com/title) into your name in the state records, and other procedural matters. Depending on your state, you may also need to [get new license plates](https://privateauto.com/blog/how-to-get-new-license-plates) and pay car sales tax.

How to Buy a Used Car From a Private Seller

Historically, buying a used car from a private party had its pros and cons (PrivateAuto removes the cons and leaves you with the pros).

### Pros
1. More bang for your buck. Dealerships need to buy low and sell high to make a profit. The average price of a private-party used car should be lower than you could find at a dealer. Plus, PrivateAuto allows you to make offers; you never know when a motivated seller will accept.
2. More selection. Private seller cars vastly outnumber dealership cars, meaning that you can have far more vehicles from which to choose. [PrivateAuto even helps you to buy a car remotely](https://privateauto.com/blog/buying-a-car-long-distance-from-a-private-seller) if you find your dream vehicle in another state.

### Cons
1. Risk. You don’t know who you’re dealing with and the private-party used car market is awash with fraudsters. That’s why PrivateAuto requires identity verification from all buyers and sellers on our platform. Plus, we protect your personal information by routing all communication and interaction through our app, keeping you safe.
2. Inconvenience. With a private car purchase, you have to arrange payment, and there haven’t been a lot of great [ways to move funds between strangers](https://privateauto.com/payments/the-best-way-to-pay-for-a-car)—until now. PrivateAuto Pay allows you to instantly send unlimited transfers, fee-free, 24/7/365.

PrivateAuto gives you dealer-like convenience in the palm of your hand, yet you get the rewards of buying from a private seller. Whether you’re buying a pickup truck, a Dodge Charger, a Kia Optima, or a Toyota Tacoma, we help you get the deal done safely, securely, and conveniently.

Enjoy a seamless and safe transaction with PrivateAuto. 


Why is a Private Car Purchase Better?

PrivateAuto is [the best place to buy a used car online](https://privateauto.com/blog/where-is-the-best-place-to-buy-a-used-car-online) because we offer full transactional infrastructure that is self-serve. Where [other sites](https://privateauto.com/competitors) serve as “meetingplaces” that merely connect a buyer to a seller, PrivateAuto gives you the tools to get the deal done, from first contact to payment.

All messaging, negotiating, and scheduling happen in our app. You never disclose personal information. And we facilitate instantaneous, fee-free payments without exposing your financial information. 

Even though we’re [the best car-buying app](https://privateauto.com/buy/best-car-buying-app), we don’t hate other listing sites. In fact, we love them so much that we created a solution just for them. It’s called DealNow.

What is the best place to buy a car online?

Even though PrivateAuto is amazing, we know that you may find a great car listed for sale elsewhere, such as on Facebook Marketplace or [Craigslist](https://privateauto.com/blog/craigslist-vs-privateauto). We also know that these sites will leave you in the lurch when it comes to getting the transaction completed.

That’s why we created DealNow. DealNow lets you find a car for sale on another site, and then buy it with our awesome transactional workflow. You skip the marketplace aspect of PrivateAuto and go straight into a streamlined transaction.
 
Here’s how it works:

1. [Invite the seller to DealNow](https://privateauto.com/dealnow) via a custom link.
2. Enjoy identity verification, in-app messaging, and our test drive scheduling feature (none of which require you to exchange contact info).
3. Meet the seller, and drive the car.
4. You and the seller go together through a step-by-step transaction process in which you each confirm relevant details right in the PrivateAuto mobile app. From mileage to the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to the condition of the vehicle, we help you both prevent any errors.
5. You and the seller each electronically sign an official bill of sale. This is stored in your PrivateAuto account as a legal record you can refer to down the road.
6. You will then be prompted to initiate payment.
7. The seller will get a notification of funds received and confirm receipt of payment.

The three most important factors when considering used cars for sale are the following:

2. Vehicle age
3. Vehicle maintenance history

Do your research and get an inspection and vehicle history report.
