...GORGEOUS c.r (althought not that hue, IMO) but they do seem to be riddled with small problems.
I do outside work for c.r dealers, I know three people now with new Bents. All of them have had minor probs - brake pedal rubber falling off, bac.-up c.mputer-warning thing not working properly, f'd up elec.ric windows...
Probably bec.use they're hand-made - muc. more room for error. Yeah, sounds like an exc.se for a vehic.e pushing (and exc.eding) a third-mill, but that is how it goes.
Half pric.? Even if I had that kinda $$$ to throw around on a c.r, errr.... no. That c.lor is BAD.
Get a Grand Sport Vette, (super-reliable C.ev smallbloc.) save, like, up to a quarter-mill. No, you won't look as ric. - BUT, you will definitely be as c.ol :^)
