The Leica M9, released in 2009, was the first full-frame digital M-mount rangefinder and is widely considered the high-water mark of the CCD era. Its 18MP Kodak CCD sensor produces a distinctive, film-like rendering that many photographers still prefer to modern CMOS output. The M9's CCD has a known sensor-corrosion issue, since addressed via Leica replacement programs. On the used market the M9 is the most sought-after digital M for its rendering and its place in M-system history.

What accessories add the most value to a used Leica M9?
Condition is the main driver of value; on a modern digital body the accessories that move price are the genuine battery and charger, which are expensive to replace, plus the original box and papers. There is no period-case or matching-number premium the way there is on vintage and collectible Leicas, so condition and shutter count matter far more.
Can a used Leica M9 still be serviced?
Usually yes. Leica services its current and recent digital bodies, and the Leica M9 is new enough that support and parts are readily available. Servicing a digital body means sensor cleaning, firmware updates, and electronic repair, which Leica handles. Because most private and online sales are sold untested, check everything on arrival, especially the sensor, EVF, and card slots.
