I've owned 1996 and 2001 model Azures. I wish I had lots of advice about the model, but truth be told I never put much mileage on either. The leather and wood were very fragile and got sun damaged easily. Parts were stupid expensive for the interior. The later car had much better brakes and air conditioner. Not great road trip cars as the top created wind noise at 50-60 mph. I still love the body style with the top down, not crazy about the current "updates" , the early models have a more pure Bentley look. I've seen some decent deals on 2000-2001 Corniche models, nice car.
so much love on the other thread for the arnage, and nobody comments positively on the azure?? isnt it basically the same car and engine?? just with a nice cabrio top?
