Used Hyundai Tucson

Hyundai Tucson 150

The Hyundai Tucson follows the Hyundai mantra of value. The Korean car company is known for offering car buyers more features for a lower price. The 2009 Tucson is not an exception. It does lag behind the leading competitors in terms of power and performance even with a six-cylinder engine. But it scores very high in safety and crash tests. This 4-door entry in the 2WD and 4WD SUV category comes with 5-year/60,000-mile basic warranty and 10-year/100,000-mile drive train warranty.

The 5-passenger Tucson is available in three trims, the GLS, SE, and Limited variants and comes in either front- or four-wheel drive configurations. Two engines are equipped on this SUV, a 2.0 liter 4-cylinder or a 2.7 liter V6. The 2.0 liter 16-valve produces 140 horsepower at 6,000 RPM while the 2.7 liter 24-valve delivers 173 horsepower at 6,000 RPM. The engine power is translated to speed by a 5-speed manual transmission with overdrive or 4-speed Shiftronic automatic transmission also with overdrive. Both engines, though, continue to disappoint the car aficionado. Power seems lacking, but it is enough for most buyers.

The 5-speed manual transmission is fitted on the 2.0l 4-cylinder GLS 2WD while the 4-speed automatic is configured on the 2.0l 4-cylinder GLS 4WD, 2.7l V6 SE 2WD, 2.0l 4-cylinder Limited 2WD, 2.7l V6 Limited 2WD, 2.7l V6 SE 4WD, and the 2.7l V6 Limited 4WD. Fuel efficiency is achieved at 20/26 mpg city/highway on the 16-valve engine, 18/24 mpg for the 24-valve 2WD, and 18/23 mpg on the 4WD variants.

Used Bentley Arnage

Bentley Arnage 150

Bentley Motors has a line of luxury cars called the Bentley Arnage. The Arnage and its sibling in the Rolls-Royce brand, the Silver Seraph, were unveiled in 1998. The Arnage and the Silver Seraph were Bentley and Rolls-Royce’s first entirely new designs since 1980. The Arnage is produced in the Bentley car factory in Crewe, England. What set the Arnage apart from other Bentley vehicles was that it ran on a BMW V8 engine. The Volkswagen takeover of the Bentley brand in 1998 caused changes to be done to the vehicle, as the BMW engine was not as fuel efficient and did not meet emission standards.

The reverted old model was branded “Arnage Red Label” while a version with Bentley making substantial modifications to the original BMW engine cars was branded as the “Arnage Green Label”. The Green Label came out for the 2000 model year. However, both Red and Green Labels were modified in the areas of leg room (which was expanded), body shells (which became stiffer), wheels (which became larger) and new equipment introduced, for example, integrated satellite navigation. Production of the Arnage will see its last year in 2009. a replacement model, rumored to be dubbed as the “Grand Bentley,” is set to be launched in August 2009.

Estimated Price Range for Used Bentley Arnage: $34,500-$183,777
Estimated MPG for Used Bentley Arnage: 10 City/15 Hwy
Available Trims: Base, T, Red Label, R

Used Bentley Azure

Bentley Azure 150

British automaker Bentley Motors Limited premiered a large, four-seater convertible in 1995 called the Bentley Azure. The Azure, as of 2009, is still an active model, being built in Bentley’s factory in Crewe, England. It was originally built in a Bentley Continental platform, and was changed with a Bentley Arnage platform, along with other changes such as an improved engine in 2006. The Azure’s first generation was powered by Bentley’s 6.75 Liter V8, equipped with a Garrett turbocharger.

A “Mulliner” trim was available for the first generation, which featured options for the owner to customize the car during its building process, with customer requests ultimately dictating the car’s price. When Volkswagen purchased Bentley in 1998, VW executives decided to produce the first generation Azures until 2003 and its successor to be debuted at a later year. This year was 2006, with improvements such as a modified engine, as mentioned above, which featured a twin-turbocharger setup. A high performance version of the Azure, named Azure T is set to be released in 2010.

Estimated Price Range for Used Bentley Azure: $30,200-$289,888
Estimated MPG for Used Bentley Azure: 9 City/15 Hwy
Available Trims: base, Mulliner

Used Bentley Brooklands

Bentley Brooklands 150

The Bentley Motors division of Volkswagen Motors developed and manufactured a replacement to the Bentley Mulsanne and Bentley Eight models in 1992. This replacement was a luxury car that is full-sized called the Bentley Brooklands. The Brooklands price slotted it below the Turbo R in the Bentley line up, although both cars share similar style, underpinnings and an engine – a Rolls-Royce 6.75-litre engine.

The Turbo R’s engine though, was a bit modified in the sense that it had a turbocharger. Along with other Rolls-Royce vehicles in the 1980s through the early 1990s, the Brooklands had a design theme that was angular. It shared exterior design themes with most Bentley cars, such as the Bentley waterfall grille, dual headlights with wrap-around parking lights, a descending boot lid and chrome B-pillars. Although the Brooklands was discontinued after the 1997 model year, a revival took place in 2008, when the Bentley Brooklands CoupĂ© was introduced. This hand-made luxury car is hand-assembled, wood veneer, and leather hide.

Estimated Price Range for Used Bentley Brooklands: $13,900-$269,500
Estimated MPG for Used Bentley Brooklands: 10 City/14 Hwy
Available Trims: base
