I am always available by mail at: bernieceblleibe@rumpypumpy.net .
I regularly buy and sell ultra-luxury and exotics. It is not uncommon to
see Bentleys with the dash lights lit up like a Christmas tree from careless use, neglect, and lack of service. It
is also not uncommon to see a new buyer excited about one of those neglected cars, only to learn later that what
they bought requires $10, 000 to $15, 000 worth of service because of deferred maintenance just to be safe and
usable. Something goes wrong, and when these are out of warranty, they are expensive to repair. Here, you get none
of that. This one is light years apart from those neglected beaters. It is absolutely exceptional, fully serviced,
and ready to go.
Everything this car has ever needed has been done. When the current owner first acquired this one in 2014, it was
sent to Post Oak Bentley in Houston to have an extensive service done. At that time, the sagging headliner (which
these cars are known for) was repaired by the dealership. The vacuum pump was replaced with a new genuine OEM
Bentley pump. A "smoke test" was performed to identify any leaks in the system and the vacuum piping was replaced
where needed. EGT sensors were replaced for banks "A" and "B." Spark plugs were replaced. Engine air cleaners were
replaced as well as the in-cabin pollen filters. Brake fluid was checked and topped off. Key fob battery was
replaced. A full fluid and filter service was performed.
More recently, this Bentley was treated to brand new batteries, new tires and an alignment. The front air shocks
were beginning to sag over the period of about two days. These were replaced with new Arnot air shocks that carry a
lifetime warranty and are believed by many Bentley owners to be superior to the OEM equipment. There was also some
leakage in the air shock tubing and the tubing that supplies the air shocks was also replaced.
