Grey Poupon Approved: 1989 Bentley Mulsanne S
This next car comes as a tip from Johnny Bouncewell who writes: What could go wrong with a 32 year old, high mileage British Lux-o-Barge? I mean, for the price of a 15 year old mid range Buick, you’re getting a helluva lot of class…when it is running. DT: Oh man, this is tempting. How much fun would it be to drive this for a few miles a week (month?) for a few years and pass it one before something major blows up? Find this 1989 Bentley Mulsanne S offered for $8,500 in Albuquerque, NM via craigslist.

If you really want the headache and heartbreak of owning this Bentley, I can provide the same experience but save you time. Just send the $8500 to my PayPal and I’ll come over, smack you in the head with a board and then steal your family pet. Then, for the Bentley driving experience I’ll just strand you on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere. You’ll thank me for it.
Yes. See. This is what friends are for.
And yet you’re encouraging me to buy a Range Rover? I suppose I do live in its native habitat. Maybe that will make it a sane choice. Or am I coo-coo for dijon coco puffs?
At least you could walk to where they make the parts.
rome2rio.com says it’s 448.8 miles from my house to Gate D of the factory in Solihull, which is theoretically a walk. I will not be walking to Changshu under any circumstances.
Runs and drives. Not the most encouraging phrase for a car that calls for $2500 brake jobs. Though I’d trust a 30 year old Bentley with 145,000 miles on it more than one with 20,000. More things go wrong in these from sitting than from regular use.
a pep boys steering wheel toupe’ is not encouraging on a Bentley
Lift the body off and stick it on a Toyota chassis.
Instant classy weirdness.
You’re welcome.
