Overview

2014 Rolls-Royce Wraith

The 2014 Rolls-Royce Wraith is a statement of automotive grandeur, offering a potent V12 engine and rear-wheel-drive dynamics in a striking coupe body. For the discerning used car buyer, its appeal lies not only in its imposing presence but also in its surprisingly clean record. With a 6.6-liter twin-turbo V12 engine paired to an S8 automatic transmission, it delivers effortless power. Its EPA-estimated 15 MPG combined indicates the significant fuel costs associated with this level of performance and luxury.

Critical Failure Risk

Over time, the air springs and associated lines in the adaptive suspension system can develop leaks, leading to a sagging ride height and uneven handling.

Early detection can help you avoid a $800-$2,500 repair.
