Car financing: the 2001 Bentley Azure

A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. The 2001 Bentley Azure for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.

Before you sign for the Azure

NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.

Specs, explained

Its powertrain is the 6.8L 8-cylinder with rear-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.

It is rated 19.6 L/100 km combined: about 59 litres every 300 km. In money, 1,000 km costs about $343 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$6,850 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

When the Azure makes sense

It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size.

What to expect from the Azure

It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. The trunk holds 198 litres by the EPA's count: about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.

Drive it on your own roads

If the Azure is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. A week with the Azure answers more than any brochure.

Choosing the right one

Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.

Money matters

The EPA estimates US$6,850 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
