Hiring a car that is For Sale

[jinkster]

It is my sisters wedding in a few weeks and I've seen a car that is for sale, Bentley Arnage 1998 £10,000. Would it be legal to hire the vehicle for a few days for a fee of course?

Would anyone offer this?

Whoever is selling it is unlikely to want to do it due to insurance issues.

You can only ask.
Worst they can say is no!

For 10k, just buy it.

Try Hanwells.

Probably the most moody shop front in the world.

But. Really nice people. Used to offer SDH.

Quality cars with full warranty.

Superb outfit.

And when you go on holiday, don't pay for a room, just buy the hotel.

As a member of the PH Powerfully Built Company Director Club you must absolutely do this OP; after all £10k is what, a few hours work? Use it then give it to your house keeper's maid; Bentleys are for the poor after all.

If someone offered me cash to borrow the car they had for sale for a few hours while they had the wedding I'd allow that. How would it hurt? On the other hand, if they stacked it I'd be more than a bit vexed so would want insurance to be in full order before carrying on.

That doesn't make any sense.

But to answer the OP it would be cheaper to go to someone who does it for a living. Otherwise your letting yourself into a unnecessary headache.

My wedding car was a Bentley S2 (1960's) standard wedding fare I guess and it was £350 for the day.

Arnage for 10k?

The cheapest i've seen Arnages for, with 120k+ on the clock and worn leather is 17-18K. But i am sure some of the more powerfully built people on this site, with connections in the motor industry, will know people that have bought them for 5k at auction.

In all seriousness, a 10k Arnage sounds like a ticking time bomb ready to explode. I'd avoid at all costs, unless someone affiliated with the place selling them puts on a polyester suit and dicky bow and drives it for a few hundred quid for the day.

Have a look on Autotrader, 1998 and I think it was based in Peterbrorough.

As some of said on here, due to insurance issues you have no chance I'm afraid. Even if he was willing to do it. His trade policy won't cover random SDH.

The one with the hilarious rear suspension?
