Hi all
Really appreciate anyone's advice or suggestion. (You know them times you just need someone to convince you your doing the right thing to make you pull the trigger!)
I've had a couple of Shadows, Spirits, and a Turbo but at present im RR/Bentleyless!
Dad picked his 99' Arnage up 2 Saturdays ago and im back in love again. I've been toying for a year or so about pulling the trigger on a Continental GT. The prices for early entry level ones are in the £23-£25k mark now and they look so much car for the money.
I've presently got a Range Rover Vogue and an older CL500 Mercedes. The new car would replace the Merc so 2 door and no back leg room is not an issue!
Car would be a daily driver but only around 8000 mile a year. I appreciate im buying entry level so to expect some problems. Nuts and bolt problems arnt really an issue as I can cope with most of that, but its the electrics, ecu's etc and major repairs..
Now my issue is, ive started doing as much homework as I can regarding what to look for and models, years to avoid. What ones have all the toys etc... And all I seem to find is horror stories of living with a GT.
Permenant electrical issues, money pits, 10mpg etc etc..
So its got me considering an Arnage for reliability. Not really what I wanted as I think the GT looks more modern (although the Arnage's are stunning)
Just wondered if anyone living with an early GT could offer any insight? Or maybe point me in the direction to get some positive/genuine/realistic advice?
Thanks so much in advance
Terry
