Interesting colors, aftermarket rim choice and looks like he added that lip to the rear of the trunk. Mileage is 'highish' at 73k. Was it always factory serviced or ??? and last servicing was ??? I'd guess around $48k to $52k with all servicing up to date.

Wow, no records at all? Hmmm.... Hopefully you'll have someone do a PPI before final purchase.

A full repaint is a possibility, however the inside of that car is also wrong according to the VIN provided. It may just have been a mistake. Ask for the VIN again, and I'll provide you with option lists if you like.

I have an 04 Bentley with 91k miles on it. Runs like a top. These cars are really just Pheaton's for the most part. The only time the repairs are spendy is when its proprietary items like windshield, window regulators, etc.

I've got mine for sale, I put about $14k in maintenance into it in the last year, all new brakes, rotors, rear 3rd brake light, control arms/bushings, window regulators for the rear windows, etc. I bought it for $53k with 88k miles a year ago and I own a high performance shop so I had my guys just overhaul it even though it was in great shape. Its been absolutely impossible to sell. I just dropped the price from $49999 to $48999 and I get about 4 calls a week on it from people who clearly can't afford it and are dreaming.

In short if you just spam the ad's on autotrader/craigslist etc with low ball offers like your $45k for that one you'll eventually find someone who will bite because its not easy to sell these cars. Mines mint condition and cheapest on the market with the exception of another guy selling one with a salvage title and people run scared because of the mileage.. this thing could do 150k miles without a single repair, with the exception of that third brake light likely going out again (lol.. you know what I'm talking about if you're a GT owner).

Ya i see a lot of these cars on ebay, cars.com and autotrader are there for weeks and are always getting reposted! why is it so hard to sell such an awesome car?! lol Have a link to yours? the only people that dont budge on price is dealers and they are asking crazy money for 05s and 06 some are still asking even 70k+!
