Just headed over to look @ the Bentley...
1999 Bentley Arnage - Used Sedan Ft. Lauderdale FL | Mint Motorcars, Inc.

54k miles, no prior accidents or damage, and $30,900! Original sticker? $205,620! Whoa. While it looks clean, it is amazing how far cars have come in the last ~15 years... Looks a little rough, design wise. No infotainment system, 4 speed transmission, etc. But still, a $200, car with 50k miles for _$30k_. Whoa. If the original buyer had put that money into snapping up Lamborghini Miura's back in '99 when they were dirt cheap... Or Apple stock for that matter

No question - for 4 doors it has to be an XFR (or XFR-S). It might actually make you give up the XKR.

You mean $30K. That price difference buys a lot of service. I don't think insurance is going to be very expensive.

For a few grand, you could put in an infotainment system, and I find the design enduring. Looks like an Arnage... Not the "budget" Continental. With the amount of power that cars has, a 4 speed is more than adequate.

Well the ultimate bang for buck would be a W140 S Class. They were incredibly over engineered and can be had for under $10k with very low miles.

They are my favorite S Class body style.
