Abandoned Non Running Bentley Arnage T - Shall I buy it? - PT1

[@dariushd.1392]

Hi there, just started watching! I’m really close to buying a 2004 Arnage T… not a mechanic at all, these issues worry me but you only live once I guess. Magnificent is definitely the word! Enjoying the content 👌🏼

Thanks and I highly recommend them. This is my 3rd Arnage and I love them. They are reliable if they are well maintained. My car wasn’t so it’s given me so many problems. But then I bought it cheap and factored in parts etc. Parts are expensive on these and strangely some parts are no longer available. Frustrating because it’s not an old car!

@@supercartribe sorry for the late reply. The car in question has low km (27k) and was serviced 3x. I’m very much counting on the Bentley PPI to let me know the actual state of the car!

Buy it... but I just bought a non-running Mercedes C-124. I would buy a Bentley at the right price.

[@supercartribe]

Thanks buddy. Yup that’s exactly what I thought. So guess what. I bought it. Definitely for the right price but needed a lot doing to it. More to come on that.

It's all easy work that box is easy to remove to do the main seal service it new water pump then get the codes cleared if any come on deal with the issue

[@supercartribe]

Keep watching. Exactly the approach I took. But it turned into a nightmare!

These young years have cam shaft issues that are known in the 05 06 07 years. It's a magnificent car but very expensive to get it up to par even with going the non dealer route

[@supercartribe]

Magnificent is definitely the word. These are great cars but as you mentioned expensive to maintain. I’ve not come across the camshaft issues before. Head gasket yes.
