If A Dealer sells A Car Do They Have To Give A Guarantee

[Ted]

Droooooooolllll!!!!!!!

 

[C240Sport97]

that's a lot of car for £20k

 

[stumpy1]

And a lot of service bills too.

A near identical one is only £12k but slightly higher mileage and a questionable warranty.

If the dodgy headgasket goes its £3k + vat and 4 days and they are susceptable to them

I would rather have peace of mind to be honest.

I will stay on this great forum if you will all have me Im a sporadic contributor but mildly amusing I like to think !!

The CLS will probably go to webuyanycar.com but will try pistonheads and trader for a week or so, webuy have firmly offered £1200 more than MB

And a lot of service bills too.

5k miles per year in it and the big one done prior to purchase, my local "hero" indie says under £500 for the next one in 12 months and £800 for the one after that if miles stay under 5k p/a ish

It will be interesting to read your experience of the Bentley Turbo R over the next year/s.

Headgaskets are a weakness, and the standard suspension may not last long either, even after replacement. I had mine swapped for struts up front and and ecu to fool the active ride. Seems to be a worthwhile mod. I can't wait to hear your thoughts on driving it

 

[DSLiverpool]

My indie has told me the spheres will be no hassle on my mileage and he has a unique fast way of doing the job ?!? he said just worry about the engine, the brakes and rust !!!

I suspect this one is quite a lot more:
Graeme Hunt - 1997 Bentley Turbo RL

I am aware of a mint 39k miles model for £23k so I guess Hunts one would be similar, these really are on the deck at the moment and possibly for ever more .....

 

[stumpy1]

Glad to see you got the RL as the standard car is a tardis in reverse. The parking sensors are interesting. I wasn't aware there was a factory fit option on these. It's not too difficult to park without them though. You just need a huuuge space. The turning circle is lousy, not like your Merc.

 

[DSLiverpool]

Sensors are RR actual transducers onto an aftermarket bleeper with a RR over ride button filling a blank on the dash - I only expected rear but they said front as well - bargain !

For some reason i missed most of this thread earlier, didn't think it would turn out like this!

Car looks lovely, your a braver man than me Dave, please hang around to tell us how you get on

 

[lynall]

Pretty certain by law trader/dealer has to provide 3 months cover, which is why they all push you to take the breakdown warranty cover so its not their problem.

This all came about recently last year or two.

The R is one of the few cars I know that carries red very well. Wildberry also looks great.

Not posting an ad on here for your CLS?

Lol not really, I have stupidly put a private plate on the CLS that isnt even on it yet but all paperwork is done so i need to que up in Chester to get the plate off it as soon as it arrives

I will try a shot on the usual mediums but on pistonheads the last one sold similar to mine went for £26,500 (but was in NI if thats a factor) and I want more than that.

I`ll get it mini detailed and photo`d and see if the rumour of late supercharged cars being in demand is fact or fiction

Dave, can't sleep??

My understanding is that prices for CLS55s have certainly got a bit stronger than they were a few months back. Hope you get what you want for it and looking forward to hearing about your Bentley ownership. YOu will certainly have a very classy garage!
