Does he drive it himself? Or don't you know?

 

My guess is yes, but I don't know. I've never seen him just the Phantom parked on the street.

 

I have never understood the people that live in a shack or crappy falling down trailer, but drive cars that cost 50-75 or even 100k+. Like, you can't live in a car. Not really. But I suppose you can't race a house either, so...

 

 

Its all relative. I have by far the nicest cars in my neighborhood, at least the Lexus (with the Phantom guy as an outlier lol), and I bet my income is 2-3 times what the average owner's income is in the neighborhood. Despite being in the real estate business, I'm just not a "house" guy. The only reason I would ever move away from this house is we need more space with the kids. I'm not into fixing a house up or making improvements, its just not my thing. Cars however are another matter.

 

I rode in the back of Ghosts twice last week, so... that's the only one I have experience with on this list, lol. Interior was really nice, but to be honest, I think the second one had taken some wear and tear. They were Sandals resort transfers. I got a chance to glance at the odometer - one of them only had about 4,000 miles, and the other had about 49,000. Really smooth and quiet. Even over cobblestone pavement, I could hear almost nothing from below. And the organ stopper a/c controls were fun. Only the low-mileage one had the rear-seat touchscreen controls, which I didn't really have time to play with, as it was a less-than-10-minute ride each way, and we were conversing with the driver most of the time.

I think even though it's a bit smaller than the Phantom, it's more than enough room to stretch out back there. I would be paranoid trying to park a car any bigger than the Ghost, to be honest.

I do prefer Bentley's styling in some ways. The Rolls have presence, but I think I just like the more handsome look of the Bentleys.

Overall I think the RR Ghost or the Bentley Flying Spur (W12) would be mine. Not too big, but still plenty of space for luxuriating, with 12-cylinder engines in each (a soft requirement IMO).

 

 

Rolls, and wouldn't even consider the others.

 

In Japan the Mercedes S63 optioned out will cost over $300K US. So at this stage I would choose the S63.
But, to choose from your list, when I get a bit older I think the Rolls will appeal a lot more.

 

LOL none that I know of, but for instance, on my way to the university I drive past a trailer, and its all kinds of crooked. Dude has an $80,000 F450 Diesel, lifted, on mudders and all kinds of other stuff done to it, probably 100k in total. But his trailer in the shape of a friggin' corkscrew. Its just funny to me is all.

 

I have seen older Rolls Royce and Bentley's in crappy neighborhoods, their values plummet severely after a while especially on ones that were more common and not taken care of as well.

 

 

idk but the century (V12 model) won't be legal in the US for another few years anyway, same with the R34s and such

 

 

Whats amazing to me about the Phantom VIII in person is how HUGE they are. Almost SUV huge.
