curious to no when ssomething went wrong with your bentley and u was out of warranty or even with warranty how long did your car sit before actually fixing , also because we no the third break light is a issue also the front suspension would u buy those parts in advance just to have them instead of waiting for the issue to happen then having to wait for the part

....no problem...the reason I ask is that for thousands of people who read here on forum...it gives frame of reference as to various issues...
....mine is 2010 Speed that bought new from Bentley dealer...20,000 miles and on second set of tires....tires on careful driven 5500 pound Bentley wear out in 12 to 15,000 miles or less if you dog it...
....older models 2004 to 2006 bought from car lots are usually dogs and money pits although there are always exceptions...problem is that many guys wanting to get into Bentleys are tempted into the older ones because price is reachable...but reason for low price is the downside risk of very expensive service...JimB

yeah i couldn't agree more the 04-05 price range is more then fair and had me wondering if it's worth it with a indy specialist .. but like u said a buyer would have to be prepared to still invest money into the car

Buying parts from UK doesn't take that long. Usually it is a week MAX shipped via FedEX/UPS overnight from FlyingSpares to North America.
