Not sure what you are talking about. I have owned a 2007 T500 for 4 years, bought with 33k no 47k.. No major faults and always serviced by experts who were non Bentley dealers, buying all parts from Flying Spares. Great car and I shall keep it forever.

In my experience the key with these cars is good maintainance, look after an Arnage and it'll look after you. My 6 3/4 litre Arnage R has been a dream, but you must have a good mechanic who uses OEM parts if you are going to leave the network, and tne pipe service is essential given what the hydraulic systems in thjs car run.

At least issues are well documented for each year. Fortunately they held onto the original motor instead of putting a BMW one in, then you’re really in a bad space.
