Worst idea ever??
Discussion
I am getting steadily more drawn to this/these:
http://www.vincentknightcars.co.uk/used-cars/bentl...
Seems like a hell of a lot of car for the money and I like the looks etc. I know the running costs would be somewhat on the high side but I just keep coming back to how much car it is for the money. Not a lot else I have seen offer more in terms of sheer prestige and presence etc.
So what do we think, worst idea ever? (I think I probably know the answer to this but surely someone can convince me it would be a good idea )

Slightly more http://www.derbytradecars.co.uk/showroom/c-10253-2... i was surprised how cheap they are for what you get. Inline with a Aston?
There have been a few threads about "cheap" continentals, amv8's, db9's and most come to the same conclusion:
Buy it
Enjoy it for 6 months
Sell it before something breaks.
Yes running costs will be horrific, servicing need'nt be as horrific if you go to the right place. Parts costs will kill you.
If you want one, go for it!
(but get a warranty)

No its a VW in a posing pouch
But it is expensive and fast so i shall worship it
What ever you say.But it is expensive and fast so i shall worship it
I personally don't care if its fast or expensive. I decide upon its merits.
Its beautifully built, supremely comfortable, very good looking and I suspect without VW's help it would not have been such a great car but at least YOU would like it, Eh?
went and had a look and must say it is a stunning looking car! Very luxurious inside and feels like a nice place to be.
Not 100% on the drive, a little underwhelmed on first impressions tbh. Didnt feel especially sporty, not all that dynamic and not all that fast. Only did a quick test drive so think I will spend a little more time in it next week before deciding.

I even have a little shrine set up to a BMW badge
What more do you want
So could you stop following me around

I have only ever been passenger and I too was a little underwhelmed by its straight line speed, it was traded in against a CL63 AMG. It was still gorgeous though!Not 100% on the drive, a little underwhelmed on first impressions tbh. Didnt feel especially sporty, not all that dynamic and not all that fast.

30k seems to be that magic number which can get you in almost every type of car you care mention. Lets us know what you decide, I would love to read about in 'Readers Rides'!
