To Arnage or Not To Arnage?
 
It's kinda tempting to buy a 15 year-old car that has depreciated the amount of a house. (and to add...a pox on the gentleman here that mentioned such car not too long ago SmileWavy)

I found a fellow that has posted his experiences with his purchase in the full-face hurricane of "don't do it"'s from keyboard pundits:

...and he seems pretty cool with it.

I think it would be fun, but then again, I am impulsive:)

Well, you wouldn't see yourself coming every block or two...;)

Buy a Chrysler 300, travel around the world a couple of times and retire early. :D

A new Bentley says, “I have a little $$ and questionable taste.”

A Chrysler 300 says, “I’m a broke-dick pisher w schit taste.”

So yeah, I can see the similarities.

to add...

A new Bentley says, “I have a little $$ and questionable taste.” I have no common sense and had more money than I knew what to do with, so I pissed it away on this English piece of crap. Now I have no money left.

Boy that video is annoying...

I imagine the annual maintenance cost for a Bently you could pick up a pretty nice Porsche.

Doing your own wrenching? Paying to have it done is insanely $$, I was just thinking it would be fun to put another old horse in the barn.

The guy nails it about the Bentley experience...

I take it there's no Jetta underneath all that body work? :)

The Arnage is a great car and very reliable, you'll be pleased with ownership, you have one life to live so enjoy it and spoil yourself a little.

If you can afford it why not? Life is short and if you buy it right you shouldn't loose too much money at the other end.

Did you see the alloy coolant tank in one of the videos? Impressive!

If it is in the ball park of what you might spend for a vacation or trip then go for it.

Maintain it, take care of it, and when something major croaks either keep it to look at, strip the and part the mechanicals and turn it into an odd private office, or get rid of it.

Funny thing is, I'm the most un-showiest dude around...hate any kind of attention.

I just can't believe you can buy what was a $250k for a tenth of that...my daughter is turning 16 in a year, what a btichin' ride for a first car :) (and it's a tank!!)

On your deathbed, you will regret far more the things you didn't do, than those you did.
