Ending tonight with some ultra-luxury. I found this 2001 Bentley Arnage Red Label driving on Main Street/NY-117 on 4/18/2019. I really love these old brick luxury cars. It's too bad that a lot of these have since been decommissioned. The problem with luxury cars like these is that once they become too old, they are traded in for the newest model and then they become junk within 10 years because they are too expensive to maintain and depreciation hits the car like a heart attack. It's wasteful and it highlights what's wrong with consumer culture and really what's wrong with cars today. You throw in so much technology into a car that's hot at the time, but ends up making the car practically worthless and it just means more things that can potentially break. I'm glad these people are still driving this around and not getting rid of it for the newest model but they must be diving deep into their wallets to keep this thing on the road. I was talking to an owner at Lime Rock Park who had a Bentley Azure and he told me that every time that car goes in for service, it ends up costing him at least $2500. With the last ultra-luxury car I posted, the Maybach 62 S, a new door for them is something like $15,000 and the worst part is that you can't get parts from a Mercedes dealer anymore. So if somebody dents your door, that's it. The car is toast. Tell me what you think of this in the comments below. License plate: GMU·9245 (NY)
