help w/ new purchase 2012 CGT. good buy/options and color?

kind of stumble on this CTG by accident while looking for another car but the price seems very fair so may just pick her up depending on what response I get from here. My first concern is with options. Bentley’s are pretty much like P cars when it comes to options so with so many possible variables what do you think about this car’s list? I love the Mulliner seats but is there any MUST HAVES that are not there?

Second concern is with the exterior color. My first choice has always been WHITE but I’ve notice the majority of CTG are blacks which I definitely don’t want. This one is MOROCCAN BLUE so good overall color, would future resale take a hit? My first thought is the color looks more on the feminine side for me but I haven’t seen it in person.

FINALLY and most importantly, what would you pay for it? 1 OWNER w/ 4KMI?

TIA

i see a dealer asking $178k.

The car you are asking about is basically new really. As for PPI, it is under warranty and assuming all work has been done (scheduled oil change, etc) you should be fine.

That MSRP is fantasyland. Smart price is descent. Do they think we are all stupid?

i just grabbed a link from a really good dealer. Guess we should let the webmaster know he made a mistake. BTW, their service dept is excellent and the guys are really great. They let me hang out and watch (maybe help but don't tell anyone) plus they have Lambo and Rollers too. Always fun to visit and see the cars there.

Why is the MSRP so overinflated?

Guys, does the 2012 Bentley seemed so much squared off and boxier. The front end and rear end seemed way too boxy. I like the older lines better, way more curves on a big girl. The new bodystyling kinda reminds me of a big girl wearing denim overalls. Just a though...,

Yup and said it here a few times about the new models being too 'disjointed' visually. The 'flow' of the original style works best imho.
