$25k for a 15 y/o car isn't exactly cheap.

cos they look like sh1t, are old, and prolly weren't worth anything in the first place. but that's just my opinion on this model. (/me doesn't know much about bentleys, except that the old ones looked too much like RRs)

What he said.

Prior to the Bentley GT, Bentley's were just status symbols that offered little for the money. They were boats, and although made with premium materials, offered little actual luxury. Compare a newer Bentley Arnage to a Maybach 57, and compare the rear legroom and amenities. The Mayback wins hands down.

A $50k Infiniti M45 would be faster, handle better, and feel more luxurious than a mid-90s Bentley.

HOLY CRAP. That is cheap, but I'd guess it's because at the age these are at they break down a lot and maintenance/repairs are OBSCENE.

Like American luxury cars, they're WAY overpriced when new, but people buy them anyway. I'd love to own a Turbo R, but the cost of repair parts has got to be sick!
