But then reality sets in, what if this is not all the money to get this car to be a reliable regular driver?\r\n\r\nI wish the buyers of cars like this and others that have potentially 5-figure single repair costs would post a summary of what it took to get the cars they buy here on BaT up to a reliable daily driver status.\r\n\r\nIn the case of the Arnage there is one car I remember where the buyer put the car back on BaT with an accounting for what he had to spend to get the car fixed once received. \r\n\r\nThis link is to that car when sold the second time:\r\n35k-Mile 2001 Bentley Arnage Red Label sold for $27,000 on 3/11/24\r\nhttps://bringatrailer.com/listing/2001-bentley-arnage-red-label-23/\r\n\r\nAnd this is the link to the first auction:\r\n35k-Mile 2001 Bentley Arnage Red Label sold for $16,600 on 11/4/23\r\nhttps://bringatrailer.com/listing/2001-bentley-arnage-red-label-20/\r\n\r\nWell, that looks like a neat little profit after just a few months, but dig a little deeper...\r\n\r\nFrom @shdurland, the first auction buyer, second auction seller:\r\n\"Since no maintenance records came with the car and the CarFax reporting is, at best, thin I told the shop to do a Complete PPI (in this case a post-purchase inspection). I had them complete every item they believed it needed. Did not leave anything off. $9,720.72 later I picked it up.\"\r\n\r\nSo, about $10k to get this particular car up to standard. I suspect this is more typical than not, but I do not have any data. What if it had been $20k or even more? Depending on year, head gaskets, camshafts and maybe something else (brakes, suspension?), could be big ticket items (relative to purchase price). Even if the odds are your car will be ok, what if yours does have/develop one of these problems?\r\n\r\nI think this is why these absolutely wonderful cars sell for such low prices. The fear of the 5-digit, one shot, expense.", "likes": 4, "timestamp": 1722478322, "type": "comment"}]
