"These cars can be HIDEOUSLY expensive to repair....the service prices make Ferrari's seem like Kia's."
True to that, I had a 1990 Turbo R at my old shop that was rear ended. Cost of repairs was about $15,000. It really didn't look all that bad. The insurance company did't want to save it due to the milage being around 80,000+ plus the cost of rerplacement parts & labor. I spoke to the Houston dealer about avarage resale on is car in good condition.. $25,000 To $30,000. nuf' said.

It's really hard to say without seeing the car, knowing the mileage and mechanical condition but my gut says probably it's not a deal at all.
I have sold two of these vintage of Bentley Turbo's in the last 3 years for $5-10K USD more and they were examples at the upper end of the scale in every respect.
