My GT is previously owned by Jimmy Buffett

I bought my GT from Orlando which was traded in previously by Jimmy Buffet( a singer ). Question though, is there any kind of value that this car will have because of its history from Jimmy?
Here is a thread of his car in driveway (now mine)

Maybe. He may need to die first of course. You have copies of his original signature on the paperwork?

Does it have any unique aromas of weed and rum?

I doubt there is any extra value? The dealerships will always mention these famous owners to gain a romantic appeal for that car. That is my opinion of why they do it.

I was offered Denzel Washington's car speaking of it as if that was some special selling point. On the Aston thread some one was talking about a car owned by the rock guitarist Slash. Most posters thought that was a negative selling point worrying that it might smell bad of cigarettes and booze.

Celebrities are known for NOT taking good care of their cars. To much money and very used to others doing for them I think.

You are right though, the headliner is saggy as hell and the steering needs allignment. For 25K miles seriously?

Next time you are told that celebrity owner story by a salesman ask what additional discount comes with that?

All in all I hope you come to enjoy the Bentley ride, I sure do.
