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.

I am pretty spiritually vacant, but something happened last nite which freaked me out.
After posting yesterday about a black used Bentley, I drove home from the train and, I shit you not, found a relatively new Black Bentley Arnage parked in front of my house. I've never seen the car in the neighborhood before, but there it was, sitting right below my mailbox. I went inside, got changed, went to the gym and when I returned it was gone. I have no idea why it was there, but it freaked me out. I mean, really, what are the statistics on this sort of shit happening. The damn car was an immaculate example of exactly the sort of ride I'd really love to get my hands on someday. The only thing wrong with it was the interior was white, and I prefer tan. My grandmother used to say that crows in the yard were harbingers of a death in the family... I wonder if her specious superstition applies to cars? Perhaps this is God telling me I have to quit law immediately?
I have to have one. The damn thing was gorgeous.
