New Purchase, Great Experience (updated w/ PICS)

Hey all,

Just picked up an '07 Flying Spur from my top salesman at Manhattan Motorcars, Ted! Couldnt be more happier, its an '07, Black on Black with piano black wood, all the bells and whistles, light miles and a great sticker. Ted as always was a gentleman and made the whole experience a delight. Pics to follow

Very, very nice.

I like the grilles as well.

What do you think so far?

Gcalo- so far I'm very pleased, compared to the S550 i had before this is a much more powerful engine, better handling, feels overall tighter. In comparison to anything ive had before, the workmanship on the interior is second to none, it really feels awesome when u get inside. Overall the spur feels like a quick and agile good looking tank with all the amenities needed, LOL

i like your car very much, do you have deep pile mats? be carfull with them and dont shampoo them like all mats because they will absorb the shampoo like a sponge and cause a mildew smell. speaking of smell, what about the smell of the interior? eh? eh? told you so.

Now that's a good review.

I am not surprised about your S550 dislikes but in fairness Bentley does not make as many cars as M-B. But then who wants M-B anymore.

Sounds like the Spur is a car for me.

Viktor, are we talking car or women aromas!!!

I was aware of that. I see you as more mature.

Are you going to be in LA 1st-2nd week Sept?

I agree.

I am in the process of settling a lemon law suit with M-B over my CL500, and when that's done, I may get extremely serious about a Spur. I want to pay cash for it and prefer to use the funds I have in the M-B.

So as that is settled I'll decide.

I have a good idea why you dumped out of the S550!

I also have a 530i my bride says is too big for her. (she has been nicking the wheels and tires a bit-oh horrors!) She wants the 3 series hardtop convertible, because it's smaller for her.

So it looks like we'll be changing out two cars soon.

I know the Spur is a great car, and I think it would be great. I don't drive a great deal of miles so gas mileage is not a big issue.
