hi guys any advice would be very much appreciated,hoping to purchase a arnage t around a 2003 vintage is there anything i should be looking for,the vehicle i have in mind has only covered 15k and has had bentley history untill a few years ago.I know how to spot poor bodywork etc but have never had any experience with this model.

Thx for your replies,i understand what your saying,the car i was looking at has fallen out of bed as the dealer has come back and said sorry the client we were selling for has now said he wants 5k more what a joke they have had car for monthes allready so have walked away.I would buy a 2007 on if funds allowed, but with allready owning quite a few cars the wife would not be happy in me having another expensive garage queen as one poster put he he.I was lucky enough to have the use of a mulsanne speed last weekend, and we really enjoyed wafting around like royalty, which was why we thought ok lets have an arnage as i think its such a lovely looking car compared with mulsanne in my opinion of course.So will keep looking and may go for a higher mileage newer car.
Quick update guys,well cant wait have bought an arnage final series 2009 in tungsten with beluga very low miles and alot more than i wanted to spend but the car is like new and i managed to get a 2 year bentley warranty inc in price for peace of mind.Cant pick car up untill end of next week but really looking forward to the 300+ mile drive home,will post pics when home and thanks to everyone for there help.
cheers simon

Ok drove to leeds and collected the car and i must say what a lovely car,ive not seen such quality in a car since my vanquish days,the car is as new and drives as such.This is going to be a keeper as im sure in years to come its going to be a real investment, well thats what im telling the other half.I have driven no other car thats feels so grand and has real road presence.Managed to get 250 miles before filling up which i didnt think was too bad as fuel tank capacity not huge.Love all the attention to detail and im ashamed to admit its better put together than my gt speed,not a squeak from anywhere and is so quiet.Will now concentrate in enjoying it when i can and giving it a home it deserves.
cheers for all the help and comments simon

First little hickup today car came up with service required when turning it off,hell it was only fully serviced 4 weeks ago,so onto youtube and found the reset procedure all gone now,but im sure this car will give me a few niggles over the years but its all worth it when you start it up and drive the beast.
Thankyou guys for all the comments,i really do feel very proud to own this wonderful car,ive lost interest in the speed he he,will try and get some pics of the two together as there the same colour inside and out so to speak.Managed to get a 2 year bentley warranty on it so not really worried about big bills for a couple of years except the one when i had to pay for it.What did make me laugh was when i had the wheels off the other day cleaning everything up,i noticed that the front calipers had a grey like substance on them on two little patches,so thought i would remove it with thinners and guess what was underneath BMW logo obviously bentley did not want this on there top of the range car so decided to put a bit of putty on the top to hide.Now thats what you call a handbuilt british car ha ha.
thx again guys for all the positive comments simon

Not had much chance to use it but have given the underneath a really good going over and finally waxoiling everywhere to stop any corrosion,the car is as new with very few marks anywhere so im chuffed to bits with it and will be a keeper for sure especially as the mrs loves the car.
happy new year to all simon
