Axl Rose to Pony Up Tens of Thousands for Battered Bentley

Axl Rose will fork over $53,000 to cover some serious Bentley damage -- but even though it seems like a lot ... the "Guns 'N Roses" singer actually got a nice discount.

Axl was sued by Bentley Financial Services last year -- which claimed Rose leased a $192K Bentley Flying Spur back in 2005, and proceeded to beat the crap out of it ... eventually returning it with damages and fees totaling $73,000.

But last week, Axl finally settled the case -- agreeing to cough up $53,000 to call it even.

Which is a great deal -- because if you do your math, that's a 27% discount.

According to TMZ.com, Guns N' Roses lead singer Axl Rose has agreed to pay $53,000 to cover the damages he allegedly caused to a 2006 Bentley Flying Spur car.

Axl leased the $192,000 vehicle through Bentley Financial Services back in 2005 and returned it several months past the actual due date with some serious damage, including a cracked windshield, two damaged tires, broken glass on the left rear tail light, two dented doors and a gouged bumper. In addition, Axl allegedly turned in a "mismatched spare key" and a "broken remote key," and he was 42,397 miles over his contracted limit.

Axl was sued by Bentley Financial Services last year for $73,976.42 in payments and fees on the vehicle, and last week, Axl finally settled the case.
