Bentley Question

I was milling about a car dealership with my wife over the weekend when I came across an early 90s Bentley with low miles on it being sold for $35k. I think one could easily negotiate it down to $30k. Its a really pretty car, and the dealer just wants to get rid of it (got it from some kid who inherited it and traded it in on a Benz).
I don't drive too much and got to thinking "Fuck, that would be a fun car to have, and I wouldn't put too many miles on it..." I got to drinking with a buddy later that night and told him about the car and he said "Why wouldn't you buy it?" I said "You'd look absurd." He told me I was a chickenshit. Now, of course, I won't be buying the car for a variety of practical reasons, but it led to me to think "Why not?" I mean, really, if you could grab a nice ride like that, why not get it? Or does a used Bentley say the same thing as a used Porsche/Ferrari (i.e., overcompensating)?
It is really a gorgeous car.

I'm a day late to the discussion of Sebby's Bentley, so I'm figuring that everyone else has all of the angles covered. But here are some other tips for Sebby as he nears his AARP years:
More useful advice.
