Hello im thinking about buying my first car.I'm 21 and im an electrician and I dont pay any bills besides a phone bill.For the past 6 months I have been jumping back an forth looking for my first car.Today was the first time that I was actually up close and personal to a bentley gt.My local dealer is selling a grey 2005 Bentley gt Mansory with black interior for 59k and 66k miles.I know I can find a better deal searching the web but he's local and im not thinking about buying this car till next yr.I wasnt able to test drive it but I did notice that the 3rd brake light is out and that there is no push to start.Other gts I've seen have push to start.But overall besides those to things the car is good got a great roar 40% tinted windows awesome sound system brakes and wheels recently changed.one thing I am concered about it that there is hardly any space in the rear im kinda of a big guy.I'm 5'10 weight about 250 n I have to have the chair kinda far back.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

 

Just remember that the 2005 has known problems due to early 'teething' problems and have a $10k 'slush fund' if/when things happen and you'll be fine.

 

Thanks for the advice I just seen a bentley gt 2007 for 60k and 16k miles from a private seller I might be looking at that one.

 

The 07 is a better car and don't worry about the mileage provided she has been maintained. In fact I prefer higher mileage as it means the car is well-sorted and the fluids have been regularly flowing versus a garage queen. These cars are built to last many, many miles.

OOPS, I read your above post incorrectly yesterday. A 16k miles 2007 worries me... a lot. Too few miles driven to sort things out imho. Cars generally do not like just sitting around. Gaskets, hoses, etc... Of course it is your call on what to do there. On one hand the price might look right, yet it might take another $10k+ to sort her out as a true driver, though hope you get a good example that is sorted.

 

I agree with Enjoythemusic! These cars need to be driven and sorted. In this day and age, it often costs more to diagnose a problem than to solve it. 16K on an 07 means it was probably used to go to the golf club once a week. That being said, with that kind of mileage, you could probably buy an after-market warranty if you want peace of mind.

update:--------------------------------
I just noticed the car was for sale by a private owner. I don't think you can get an aftermarket warranty unless you purchase the car through a dealer. I may be wrong or, the rules may be different for different countries.

 

My guess is that something is wrong with the car at that price. 60 grand for an 07 with 16k miles is fairly far off market. Granted if you can bring it back to specs for not a lot of money you might end up with a deal.

 

Its a wrong price and wrong year.It's a 05 not a 07 they missed printed.

 

So is it bad if I buy one $60k GT with 56k miles on it but been in to accidents.If any one has a car website they check out that would help alot.I use cars.com,autotrader.com, carsforsale.com.

 

Heck I'll sell you my all sorted out 2005 with 38,000 miles for 60K.
