    Someone please talk me out of it

    I need some convincing reasons not to go completely potty and buy this for £15K

    Ah thats beautiful!!!

    But...its an old mans car. Unless you're over 65 it'll add 10 years on to your age.

    A jag is just as beautiful, and doesn't age you.

    Just a 30 year old girls opinion....you may have already grown out of caring about those though.

      It'll be rotten underneath and and will suck your funds like a black hole?

        If you are even vaguely serious take care.

        1) It's not a Bentley
        2) The 3 speed auto is crap squared
        3) It looks overpriced to me

        At that age it really is pot luck as to what happens. If you have average luck you won''t do too bad. Good luck and they are fine. Anything that breaks costs a small fortune.

        This guy used to look after my mates and is pretty good. http://www.bridgegarage.com/ . The car however fell a bit into the unlucky category and was traded for a Turbo R. This is a great car - if a little ostentations.

          That is massively, massively overpriced. For £15k you should be looking at a Silver Spirit III about 10 years old.

            Is it a van? I think not! Where on earth are you going to put your old paint tins and rusty bicycles?

              How is a Jag not an old man's car?
              Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

                Jag's have style and class - they're the kind of old blokes who you still fancy and dont think of as old.
