What are your thoughts on Bentley's? Are they good cars?


I'm planning on getting one within the next 2 years. Specifically, the Continental GT.

Now you agree with me!

I think they're brilliant cars.

However, I have some advice for would-be first-time Bentley owners.

1. Lock down service details before you even THINK about buying one. That is, find someplace you can take your car who knows Bentleys (whether a dealer or independent) and find out how much service costs will be. You don't want to take your Bentley to Quickee-Lube.

2. Before you buy the car, insist on having a full inspection from a dealership. It is well worth whatever they'll charge for that inspection to not buy the wrong car. There's nothing more expensive than a cheap exotic car - Ferrari, Bentley, whatever...

3. Insist on a car with what the British would call "a proper service history" (i.e. full documentation that all the scheduled services have been done by someone who knows what they're doing). You don't want to buy one that has been neglected or abused.

4. Call your insurance company to see how much the policy will be and find out how much it will cost to register the car.
