A couple of years ago I read (I think in Money magazine, of all places) an article that extoled the virtues of picking up a used exotic rather than dropping $35k for yet another generic SUV. I think the author specifically mentioned old Rolls and Maseratis. I've been thinking about it ever since.
The question is whether the Bentley is "used" or "classic." An '88 911 is used; a '68 is a classic. I wouldn't consider the owner of the latter to be overcompensating. Only you can decide whether it's the first or the second. Would you be buying it because it's a really nice car, or because it's a Bentley? If it's because it's a Bentley, walk on by.
And as a second data point, the St. Arnold's guy (I think his name is Brock?) is a prick, but I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with the car.
