I've always liked the Arnage, even though it is a bit more outdated then the newer Bentley's.

The prices are pretty good on them now - especially pre-2005 models considering what they cost new. Are they recommended? What years are likely best? I'm thinking 2002 and over as that's when the Arnage T was introduced and probably with a lot of improvements. How are these cars mechanically? I see the 2005's are also coming down in price, but they are still a bit too high for my budget. (I do like their facelift though)

Regarding best years reliability and maintenance I would take a trip to your local Bentley dealer's service dept. and have a chat with the service manager and or tech.

If you're shopping for a Bentley and are on a "budget" my guess is you won't like the repair bills regardless of whether or not you have a mechanically sound car.
