The car is very peppy being turbo-charged and handles beautifully! It is a RARE color - Canyon Red. It is from a smoke-free home. It has had regular maintenance (oil changes and such), had a new mass air flow sensor installed last year, new tires put on 4 months ago, and new rear brakes installed in June 2013 (the front brakes still have 80-90%). Defects include: Cracked fog-lamp cover (car does not have fog lamps-just plastic covers). Will need a front axle fairly soon. A/C is inop -possibly a bad relay or compressor clutch. It has a bad catalytic converter - a catalytic converter is only necessary for emissions checks - a car actually runs better without it. Since the car is older than 10 years it did not have to pass emissions checks, therefore, I never wanted to get that fixed. Finally, the cruise control works intermittently - I've been told it's probably a sensor. It is an automatic with power windows/locks and a cassette player. It has a moonroof. Payment for the vehicle will be accepted via Paypal - Deposit of US $500.00 within 24 hours of auction close. Immediate deposit required for Buy It Now. Full payment required within 3 days of auction close. Buyer is responsible for vehicle pickup or shipping.

Bentley considering diesel engine for new SUV
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Turns out, in case you didn't know, the rich are just like regular people. They too are concerned about the environment, even when tooling around town in their super-luxurious Bentleys. So the automaker is weighing the idea of offering a diesel engine in its SUV offering, which could help satisfy customers' demands for more fuel-efficient engines.
Chairman and CEO Wolfgang Schreiber told Autoblog in a roundtable interview at the Geneva Auto Show that the automaker is researching whether or not a diesel engine makes sense for the brand. Bentley, owned by the Volkswagen Group, could in theory use a diesel engine from anywhere in the Volkswagen Group family. We at Autoblog have hopes they'll revive the V10 TDI used in the VW Touareg until 2010, but ever-stricter emissions laws would likely make that problematic.
But rich people aren't so much like us that they'll be worried about petty things like pricing. Schreiber admitted the diesel engine could be a $15,000 option, which he said customers would probably find "acceptable." Given that the cheapest Bentley today starts at $177,000, typical customers probably won't be diddling around worrying about an extra 15 grand.
