The early turbos are to be avoided, I think. They usually sell for less than
the standard versions. If you have your car checked thoroughly by a RR
qualified specialist, you should be safe. Insist on checking all the
hydraulics. Maintenance will be probably cheaper than for the Aston Martin.
Good luck!
