Hi everyone

A regular PH er, and going from a Z4 E89 to an 05 Bentley GT, in Tempest with Beluga Interior and black piano wood. Not Mulliner spec, but has full chrome front grills, Mulliner gear shift and only 36,000 miles with Bentley warranty until April 2013.

Jus a few questions, is it normal to have warranty from Bentley after 7 years, and will they give me the option to extend? If so, how much does it cost? Also fixed price servicing at dealers is now only £700 ish.....is it worth it? I am happy to pay it, just want to be sure I am getting value for money.

If the car has warranty, is it worth getting a pre purchase inspection? The ca is being sold by an independant dealer in London....now here is the good part, only £36,750....

I'm in love!!

[quote=buyer&seller]Be careful with the warranty. Usually once the car is with a motor dealer then the warranty will be void, if the warranty company find out then they will not entertain a claim. It can normally only be transfered in a private sale so read the small print.

Good point. The dealer hasn't transferred the log book yet, so it can be seen I am buying from the previous owner.

Any thoughts on what an inspection would cost? Would they need the car or can it be done in situ at the dealer?

Thanks for the replies....
