Damn that lucky SOB. Yea, but if you were planning on spending $150,000 - what's a few more thousand? 😛

I suspect it was quite a bit more than that. I don't really know that those car rags know what anything costs if it doesn't have a window sticker on it. Hell, even if it does that doesn't mean that's what you can actually buy the car for. For the rich it's like a big game of how you can out do one another.

There is a very limited supply of these cars in the US. You do the math.

Edit-Do you really think that $640k would buy you a Ferrari Enzo?

It damn well better! :beer:😀

But in all seriousness, if they are advertising the Bentley on billboards, I'm assuming they have a more than "very limited" supply of these vehicles. So, I don't think there is that much of an increase in price unelss all the fleet of coupes have been bought up. There's also quite a few of them on e-Bay

I like how none of the e-bay sellers you listed have more than 20 sales and NONE of the items they've sold have any details to them....Yeah, I'm sure they really have access to this car...:roll:

BTW-I like how none of the e-bay sellers you listed have more than 20 sales and NONE of the items they've sold have any details to them....Yeah, I'm sure they really have access to this car... :roll:

Edit-Okay, 2 of them do but I'm still willing to bet that they don't actually have the car or if they do it is set at a ridiculously high reserve.
 
One car? Ford GT.

Two Cars? Noble M12 GTO for my track car, and an M3 as a daily driver/weekend car.

Three Cars? Noble M12 GTO as a track car, BMW 330Ci for the ladies, Mazdaspeed Miata for the weekends.

Realistically? Mazdaspeed Miata as an everyday car, put the rest into savings/house.

Let me ask you something, if you had the ability to purchase a Bentley GT, would you be putting buying/selling things on e-Bay? I highly doubt so 🙂 However, if you were selling something like a GT Coupe, it's not a bad idea to put it on a site like that to attract international/out of area buyers.

It is possible that some of those sellers might be trying to scam people into buying a GT Coupe, but if you are making a $150,000+ transaction over e-Bay, you will most likely be flying/driving in to see the product up close. At least I would.
 
Realistically: Ford GT = $200+k. Extremely difficult prying one away from the dealerships for less.

Yea..but I'm dreaming about riding Par--the Bentley :beer:😀
 
I'd get a $100,000 Lotus Esprit and put in a $5,000 stereo. The extra 40,000 would go towards a $40K 4WD truck for the winter with a $5K stereo.

Now that's a KILLER COMBO!

True. I was just in Frys the other day testing out some of their subs/amps/speakers...and I was bumpin' the sh!t out of them (they had some CD with ludacris, lil jon and other bass-hittin songs) the employee watching the section was getting annoyed with me but I loved every minute my heart was thumpin 😉
 
Keep the 97' Grand Caravan that I have now.

Spend 150K on additives 🙂

Make it 4WD (not AWD)
Get a rotory engine with all the engine goodies for power. Rotory because I can't physically fit a V10 in the stock engine compartment.
Interior Decorating and stock outside look.


All set to make riceboys cry to be beaten by a soccermom car!

Seconded:disgust::roll:
 
The Ford GT is overpriced, sure it is fast but it is ugly. I still think the Ferrari 612 which is cheaper is nicer, and almost as fast as the Ford GT.
