I've always liked the Arnage, even though it is a bit more outdated then the newer Bentley's.

The prices are pretty good on them now - especially pre-2005 models considering what they cost new. Are they recommended? What years are likely best? I'm thinking 2002 and over as that's when the Arnage T was introduced and probably with a lot of improvements. How are these cars mechanically? I see the 2005's are also coming down in price, but they are still a bit too high for my budget. (I do like their facelift though)

Regarding best years reliability and maintenance I would take a trip to your local Bentley dealer's service dept. and have a chat with the service manager and or tech.

good call, i've been lurking around for one too, but haven't decided if it is the right DD for me.

If you're shopping for a Bentley and are on a "budget" my guess is you won't like the repair bills regardless of whether or not you have a mechanically sound car.
