Buying Advice Wraith?
Discussion
Dear All
I'm looking at buying a used Wraith (approximately £150k - £180k budget). Please can anyone advise me on any essential must have options, and more importantly, have there been any significant changes on recent model years - Meaning do I need to avoid some older models?
Many thanks

I asked this question recently at a RR dealer here in Switzerland and was told that the only noticeable change had been to the front lights where they followed a change introduced with the Dawn. The more significant change is with the Black Badge cars.
As for options I suspect that they are mostly a matter of taste. For me the starlight would have to be there with a nice open-pore wood and the bespoke audio. Some of the driving aids would be interesting if only because I have them on my daily driver.
The cars from the dealers come with 2 years servicing / service but realistically it will be a matter of finding a car which you like the colours / materials.
RR currently are here in St. Moritz entertaining clients and were kind enough to let me drive a Dawn and a Wraith a few weeks ago. I was smitten with the Wraith, but unfortunately the Mrs preferred the Dawn.

No doubt you'll be getting a Dawn then chandrew 
That's really helpful, thank you for your opinion.
Some good points raised, I do think the Starlight Headliner and open-pore wood are a must - I'm also quite liking the two tone paint, as I think it shows the lines of the car better.
Will post photos when I find one
