Quiet, immensely powerful, stately and has the power to transform an ordinary journey into a magical ride. Aside from all of those wonderful attributes, I think it\u2019s important to understand what you are buying into with any older, unique, and expensive low volume vehicle, whether Bentley, Rolls Royce, Aston Martin, Ferrari and the like.\r\nTheir production volume was usually very limited. Bentley advised that there were a total of 66, 2007 Arnage R\u2019s, like mine, made for the US market. 66! Not many used parts will be found from that number of cars and no aftermarket parts manufacturer would ever tool up for such low volume and that is why parts are expensive. Aside from tires, batteries and a few lamp bulbs, everything from wiper blades to serpentine belts to brake pads is sourced from Bentley and perhaps a few Rolls Royce dealers, neither of whom are inclined to discount them heavily for you. Consider joining a Bentley/Rolls Royce Owners Club as they can be extremely helpful to members. The Crewe Factory Bentley Heritage site is very helpful. Entering your Bentley VIN# will list every part and part number on your exact Bentley. \r\nThis is the reality of vehicles that were ultra expensive and low in production volume, not to mention finding a trained and certified mechanic that really knows these vehicles. My car goes to my Bentley dealer and yes I pay dearly but I knew this information going into my purchase. One of the most important considerations is knowing the history of service and of repairs on the vehicle. Knowing what service and repairs have been made can give piece of mind if something costly has already been addressed. Do not skip any service interval. Example: These cars have four pollen filters. If you allow them to clog with debris, you could be looking at needing a new hvac blower motor that it is buried in the dash. That repair would be in the several thousands. These filter replacements can be done by most handy owners. \r\nI would also do as much research as possible on the vehicle you really want to buy. Consider a Bentley battery charger (the charge port is in the trunk) as that will keep both batteries fully charged all of the time, saving hundreds of dollars for replacement and reprogramming. (Advice given directly from my Bentley dealer.) On the plus side, a few early engine issues were resolved on 2007 and later Bentley\u2019s giving them enhanced engine reliability. But as with any car, new or used, there will always be issues and hopefully most won\u2019t be too bad. Remember, these cars were hand built and probably as complex as Bentley could manage but if owning a Bentley has always been on your wish list, go for it, as life truly is too short. This is a sharp looking Bentley T with many optional extra cost features and low miles. \r\nGood luck to the seller.", "likes": 10, "timestamp": 1627185173, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 6590252, "authorName": "msitalia (The Seller)", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/msitalia/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "Thank you Lambchop , I am on the waiting list at Flying Spares but I have not tried introcar", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1627223871, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 6590268, "authorName": "msitalia (The Seller)", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/msitalia/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "Here a short last drive video ( if the low reserve get met ) I had this morning addressing few questions \nhttps://youtu.be/Q70X2cSbmSM", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1627224103, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 6593186, "authorName": "Beesma", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/beesma/", "bidAmount": 28250, "content": "$28,250 bid placed by Beesma", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1627258912, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 6593219, "authorName": "TomStanley", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/tomstanley/", "bidAmount": 28500, "content": "$28,500 bid placed by TomStanley", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1627259537, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 6593676, "authorName": "Nghadimi1", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/nghadimi1/", "bidAmount": 30000, "content": "$30,000 bid placed by Nghadimi1", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1627274505, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 6594023, "authorName": "TomStanley", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/tomstanley/", "bidAmount": 31000, "content": "$31,000 bid placed by TomStanley", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1627304024, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 6594401, "authorName": "bryant49", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/bryant49/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "At what point did Bentley engines start looking like LS engines?", "likes": 1, "timestamp": 1627310004, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 6594921, "authorName": "ehrenbragg", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/ehrenbragg/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "I just traded my 2007 Arnage T Mulliner II on a Range Rover and I sorely miss the car.
