The problem is that they depreciate to the point where more people can afford to buy them but not maintain them properly. The first owner can, usually the second. Then service is skimped and it goes downhill. I am the second owner of a 1965 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud III, and have been since 1982. It's properly maintained and driven most days.
Not really. I can attest to the fact that the Bentley he’s working on is a pain in the ass to work on. I have the exact one in my shop now. $5k for all that was a bargain. I’d charge $3800 to do just the window motors.
I owned a 1994 Bentley Turbo RL whose previous owner was Larry Flynt. I bought it in 2004with 45,000 miles. It had been serviced since new by the estimable Vantage Motor Works in Miami. It was magnificent to look at and drove very well. Initially, I loved it, however it didn’t love me! It plagued me with issues. It constantly overheated, for example. I put in a OEM radiator and even that did not solve the cooling problems. Once, parked in front of The Breaker’s waiting for valet it refused to come out of Park and had to be towed. Ignominious! The rear suspension was next to need repair. Brake rotors in front warped. Check engine light was constantly going on for seemingly no reason. Finally, the differential grenaded one day whilst turning around in a parking lot! Many of these constant incessant problems were fixed under a warranty by Vantage, but I was still out of pocket around $10k after 2 years of ownership! Amusingly enough I could never get a speeding ticket in that car even though I normally drove it 85 mph. I was stopped 8 times in 3 years and every time was able to talk my way out of a ticket. I’ve owned many exotic cars in my long life and none of them affected police in such a favorable way! After the differential broke I decided to sell it. I entered it in a Miami Kruse auction. The venue was the American Airlines Convention Center and as amazing good luck would have it there was an annual XXX video convention next door. When those pornographers learned that Larry Flynt’s car was being sold next door, they stampeded over to bid on it! I sold it for more than I’d paid for it.
One guy bought back the car he sold Hoovie (an old Lincoln, I think). After Hoovie got is all sorted, he put it up for sale and the guy bought it back for _lesa than_ Tyler paid him for it (or maybe just a little more, but much less than he spent on it).
Indeed, it is most proper that this fine young gentleman, Tyler Hoover, should be most willing and able to perform the due maintenance of this fine automobile. It is of the utmost importance that the Bentley receives only the finest in this period of reconstruction and repair.
$5000 plus a mostly sorted E63 wagon. Total in $22000. Not terrible, but for few couple of grand more he could have gotten a pristine one. Content wise this one is a winner however.

@@invisiblekid99 Plus *everyone* needs to have a beater VW or K car in their life. Get personalized plates of "UP" and "DOWN" for the Bentley & VeeDub respectively, and then trade off driving them based upon how the stock market did the day before...
1990 Turbo R owner here. Glad to see our cars getting some attention from Hoovie! I suspect that the Wizard and Hoovie are being a bit dramatic here with the final scene. I suspect they both know this, but the windows probably just need the little $5 plastic coupling and some grease, maybe 1 hour labour each max, which the Wizard alluded to when looking at it. Also the distribution valves are supposed to leak a bit, so seeing green fluid when you take off the 'rat trap' is expected. They would need to be replaced if they are leaking excessively. The brake pumps might just need O-rings but it's not bad to replace them with rebuilt ones. I'd just fix the brake pump leaks and then see how the distribution valves are doing. But ya, that steering rack DEFINITELY needs to go. Overall. they are beautiful cars, I just love mine.
Rolls & Bentleys are the biggest white elephants anyone can buy. Insanely expensive to buy new and equally expensive to maintain. And then just try to sell it later on. Nearly impossible.

Better to pay an experienced mechanic to inspect it. Can be as trivial as a fuse. You can fix it cheap and can always sell it when bored driving it. I mean if you get after fixing for 3000$, it won't attract much loss when selling. Though it'll always be an unreliable BMW.

Hoovie, WELCOME TO MY WORLD! ('98 Silver Spur) Actually, every one of those cited repairs are COMMON amongst the SZ-series cars, except the distribution valves. Amongst the Rolls-Royce/Bentley crowd there is an expression: "If it doesn't leak, IT'S EMPTY!" That pan he removed to inspect the brake/suspension distribution circuits is actually a drip-pan that collects the excess/over-pressurized HSMO fluid. As a part of routine maintenance, that pan is removed and cleaned. That said, many mechanics add an absorbent towel/diaper into the pan to secure overflow fluid from leaking out of that collection pan and replace the towel/diaper when servicing the car. Though his prices may seems shockingly high, they are actually a bargain when you incorporate rebuilt parts over new (which would cost triple). His labor rate seems surprisingly reasonable for each repair...let's hope he holds to his flat-rate labor quote. As for taking a loss...well, yes and no. The documented service history on the car is key to its value. Any knowledgeable Rolls-Royce/Bentley buyer will want to see a well-provenanced (documented) service history for the car. Keep your accumulated receipts in that binder with the existing receipts....that in and of itself increases the market value of the car substantially to a knowledgeable buyer. There is an old adage amongst the 'manor-born': "There's nothing more expensive than a cheap Rolls-Royce (or Bentley)." I am sure you've figured that out by now?
Well the French are about to enter India via Leasing method. Introducing 25 Lacs rupees car in a price sensitive market.

Tyler, you keep good company. We all love The Wizard, of course, but you know I think you get the best side of people which makes me want to like your BMW mechanic, Johnny, too. Everyone you roll with seems to have a pleasant demeanor and I think that says something about your character. I'd love to see you get deeper into the automotive industry and meet the men and women who work the production lines because I'm pretty sure you'd get the best of them too and I sure as heck would love to watch your relationship with the industry grow right there from the roots and learn from them. I think that would love to see that.
I remember wanting one of these when they came out. One was on the cover of a car mag in a 7-11. Great to hear its better to just buy a perfect low mile car than try to resurrect a beater... again. It does make for fun content and I hope your channel is in the black. Happy New Year!
This car is a headache BUT they are fabulous cars to drive, very little matches the BTR for drive and comfort and the road presence alone is amazing, the admiring looks these cars get when filling up with petrol and even just parked is a pleasure of owning one. Unfortunately as we see here there are downsides, but once behind the wheel all is forgiven, well, until the next expensive problem! Thanks for this guys, and keep up the great work!
I laughed hard at that overdramatic 'AwwGoddd', when Wizard got a nice squirt of oil from the steering rack. I have never seen a mechanic even flinch when getting in touch with oil. And I've worked in a workshop for 9+ years :DDD
Someone please make a video on that Buick Centurion in the background!! “The prestige alone of driving a Buick Centurion cannot even be measured in terms of dollars and cents!” Lol *Kurt Russell in Used Cars (1980)
A Bentley is like a distinguished english gentlemen that you meet when traveling abroad. He's charming at first. And then you catch him digging through your purse in Jerry's free Armani suit. Pardon?
So the broken bits are mostly ancillaries and not major engine/transmission components, which is better than the BMW's you've had, and the DeLorean, and any one of a dozen other total flakeouts you've had pass through your hands. So far I'd say you're winning on this one :D
12:10 I'd do the $1.37 rear-cluck repair and delay the rest. Mineral oil is pretty cheap if you buy the scented variety packaged by Johnson & Johnson. Your car will smell baby fresh.
Regarding those suspension spheres, there's kit where you replace the seal bolts with valves. It comes with an adapter for a gas bottle. Hint; your local publican can supply you with gas! Then you can re-pressurise them, get them all equal pressure and your ride is greatly improved. I used to get them dirt cheap at a breakers yard and fix them up.
I love that it oozes... just about everything it has from brake fluid to power steering fluid to the sound of stripped plastic gears to luxury and class.
On your Window motors, on every single 30K series SZ car I have owned/fixed (except one) I have found that faulty windows are not failed motors, but the little rubber-like coupler that connects the motor to the gears. they often swell and fail. Those cost only about $2.50 each. Also, there is a coupler like that on the shift actuator as well, so if your shift ever fails, it is most likely that. Enjoy that beast!
I had bad window regulators on a Lincoln Towncar once - similar age to your Bentley. The motor/regulators were about $100 each, but I found someone online selling the nylon gear inserts (the only actual broken parts) on the cheap - I fixed both for about $15. A little diagnostic digging might save you some cash. I'm seeing Bentley "output shaft couplers" for cheap. Good luck.
I love this channel. I have always wondered why luxury cars went so cheap secondhand. I suspected before, but I like to see the process & the prices. On someone else's dime. Thank you. Vicarious pleasure is sometimes the best. Your mechanic is extremely knowledgeable and reasonably priced. A true gem. Personally, I think you should rub his bald pate before buying another car for good luck.
Distribution valves are made to leak a little so they don't rust up, that amount of fluid in the rat trap is normal, don't fuck with the valves, you will be sorry.
Enjoyed your video. I have come to realize the BEST AND SMARTEST way to buy one of these risky purchases is to let you buy it, sort and fix it, THEN BUY it from YOU for half price. EVERYBODY WINS, sort of!!😎
Love this smart guy playing the every day joe who does the dumbest things car wise and his friend Wizard who takes him to the office of reality check of mechanical wisdom
Dumping oil on the ground is actually fairly luxurious. Not everyone can afford to just throw money away like that.
Apparently I can. Lol
all right BENTLEY BALLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tyler got his money worth better than SCHWEDDY BALLS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah dude, been driving a bmw. Bmws have a feature where they leak oil to mark their territory. It’s expensive, but fuck it it’s worth it!
It's a British car...leaking oil is what they do. Maybe Tyler can get a contract with the county for oiling the roads. :)
@@gregfisher oh wait let's call this one the EXXXXON VALDEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like what James May said about buying an old Bentley: "Don't."
no buying.. traded!
Or perhaps ANY one.
I though James would say “oh cock !”
Or maybe know what you're doing when looking for one!
The problem is that they depreciate to the point where more people can afford to buy them but not maintain them properly. The first owner can, usually the second. Then service is skimped and it goes downhill. I am the second owner of a 1965 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud III, and have been since 1982. It's properly maintained and driven most days.
If there is oil under it, then there is oil in it. Good to go.

His labor rate seems surprisingly reasonable for each repair...let's hope he holds to his flat-rate labor quote.
As for taking a loss...well, yes and no. The documented service history on the car is key to its value. Any knowledgeable Rolls-Royce/Bentley buyer will want to see a well-provenanced (documented) service history for the car. Keep your accumulated receipts in that binder with the existing receipts....that in and of itself increases the market value of the car substantially to a knowledgeable buyer.
There is an old adage amongst the 'manor-born': "There's nothing more expensive than a cheap Rolls-Royce (or Bentley)." I am sure you've figured that out by now?
When your mechanic goes “Oh no” like a dozen times, it ain’t good...
My mechanic shop came when i spent 27k totally restoring my 2001 540i sportwagon :)
5k for a turbo R is peanuts
Am i the only one that thinks the BMW mechanic is having a field day?? his whole attitude and his smile tells me he's enjoying ripping the BMW apart.
Props for pronouncing "Citroen" correctly, unlike, seemingly, any other American...
I wonder if he can pronounce Fiat correctly too ..... unlike seemingly, any other American? :-/
Except he didn't even pronounce it correctly... It's si.tʁɔ.ɛn in French.
@@matthaw777 My thoughts exactly, but may be the comment was a sarcasm.
The French don't like it when you call it a 'Citron.' Which is a lemon.
Well the French are about to enter India via Leasing method. Introducing 25 Lacs rupees car in a price sensitive market.
They don't have assembly in India, no distribution network but the first thing they did was teach us through Official RUclips channel how to correctly pronounce the name of brand.
In all the Indian Languages.

Tyler, you keep good company. We all love The Wizard, of course, but you know I think you get the best side of people which makes me want to like your BMW mechanic, Johnny, too. Everyone you roll with seems to have a pleasant demeanor and I think that says something about your character. I'd love to see you get deeper into the automotive industry and meet the men and women who work the production lines because I'm pretty sure you'd get the best of them too and I sure as heck would love to watch your relationship with the industry grow right there from the roots and learn from them. I think that would love to see that.
More leaks than my 92 year old Grandmother
Grandmother has a rear main seal leak? 😮
@@blood_v12_89 Do they make Depends for geriatric cars?
I remember wanting one of these when they came out. One was on the cover of a car mag in a 7-11. Great to hear its better to just buy a perfect low mile car than try to resurrect a beater... again. It does make for fun content and I hope your channel is in the black. Happy New Year!
7:27 Hoovies Garage’s first ever “money shot”. (Followed by a bit of balls appreciation at 7:44)
This car is a headache BUT they are fabulous cars to drive, very little matches the BTR for drive and comfort and the road presence alone is amazing, the admiring looks these cars get when filling up with petrol and even just parked is a pleasure of owning one.
Unfortunately as we see here there are downsides, but once behind the wheel all is forgiven, well, until the next expensive problem! Thanks for this guys, and keep up the great work!
@ 7:45 "some balls here"
"Yeah it's got a really nice pair"
Who knew!
I laughed hard at that overdramatic 'AwwGoddd', when Wizard got a nice squirt of oil from the steering rack. I have never seen a mechanic even flinch when getting in touch with oil. And I've worked in a workshop for 9+ years :DDD
Hoovie: its pretty
Wizard: its mine know
I love that you buy these so that we don't. Keep up the great work informing us!
Someone please make a video on that Buick Centurion in the background!!
“The prestige alone of driving a Buick Centurion cannot even be measured in terms of dollars and cents!” Lol
*Kurt Russell in Used Cars (1980)
What a stunning example of the Bentley you have. I especially love the interior.. Thanks for the video.
Wish I could plonk a Toyota engine with all lines changed and make it a daily driver.
Lol
When wizard says oh no my heart skips a beat. Just give the Bentley to wizard for a year of free labor.
That interior is breathtaking.Doesnt look outdated 29 years later. Classy!
A Bentley is like a distinguished english gentlemen that you meet when traveling abroad. He's charming at first. And then you catch him digging through your purse in Jerry's free Armani suit. Pardon?
I thought that was Jag-yoo-ahr.
Joel Ness jiyaaaaaaahhhhg
Very true!
So the broken bits are mostly ancillaries and not major engine/transmission components, which is better than the BMW's you've had, and the DeLorean, and any one of a dozen other total flakeouts you've had pass through your hands. So far I'd say you're winning on this one :D
Looks like the wizard has been on a mad hungerstrike lol.
Is he finally losing weight?
@@nickmotsarsky4382 it's been a daily thing for a few now...
12:10 I'd do the $1.37 rear-cluck repair and delay the rest. Mineral oil is pretty cheap if you buy the scented variety packaged by Johnson & Johnson. Your car will smell baby fresh.
The oil leak is a feature to keep your car from rusting
Regarding those suspension spheres, there's kit where you replace the seal bolts with valves. It comes with an adapter for a gas bottle. Hint; your local publican can supply you with gas! Then you can re-pressurise them, get them all equal pressure and your ride is greatly improved. I used to get them dirt cheap at a breakers yard and fix them up.
He should have said, "I have no idea where these parts go."
I love that it oozes... just about everything it has from brake fluid to power steering fluid to the sound of stripped plastic gears to luxury and class.
I want to see this one fixed and running.
Don't change Hoovie this is why we love you!!
I wanna be like Tyler when I grow up
So does Tyler
So you mean in debt?
Sorry, but you can't have both.
FA, you're brave or suicidal....lol
@@georgehimself6612 Brilliant!
On your Window motors, on every single 30K series SZ car I have owned/fixed (except one) I have found that faulty windows are not failed motors, but the little rubber-like coupler that connects the motor to the gears. they often swell and fail. Those cost only about $2.50 each. Also, there is a coupler like that on the shift actuator as well, so if your shift ever fails, it is most likely that. Enjoy that beast!
Epic burnout!!
I had bad window regulators on a Lincoln Towncar once - similar age to your Bentley.
The motor/regulators were about $100 each, but I found someone online selling the nylon gear inserts (the only actual broken parts) on the cheap - I fixed both for about $15.
A little diagnostic digging might save you some cash. I'm seeing Bentley "output shaft couplers" for cheap. Good luck.
I want to hear him say weeizard over the intercom on the Hooptue Patrol Raptor
I love this channel. I have always wondered why luxury cars went so cheap secondhand. I suspected before, but I like to see the process & the prices. On someone else's dime. Thank you. Vicarious pleasure is sometimes the best.
Your mechanic is extremely knowledgeable and reasonably priced. A true gem.
Personally, I think you should rub his bald pate before buying another car for good luck.
"Everything is broken on my cheap Bently Turbo R." There, fixed the title for you ;)
Lol
That would be an extremely wrong title, as very little is actually broken or damaged on this remarkable 28 year old vehicle.
The last time we saw something British and upper class with this many issues it was a man on TV who couldn't sweat.
He’ll need a new bumper for the Raptor too 😉
Distribution valves are made to leak a little so they don't rust up, that amount of fluid in the rat trap is normal, don't fuck with the valves, you will be sorry.
Most friendships ends with a new friend and awkward conversations
Best car show on the internet. Love Hoovie!
Next oh Hoovies garage:
Everything my therapist thinks is wrong with my brain.
Awesome video! I'm a Porschephile, but I like this Bentley far more than the E63. Keep up the good work!
Prefer the round headlights between the two.
Wizard was dying to touch those balls.....and he did!!!! Lmao
"Oh No"
-The Wizard 2019
I have lusted after this car since it was introduced. Sadly but honestly, your video 95% convinces me there should not be one in my future.
Wizard smiling because he knows he can go Rolex shopping again after Tyler pays to fix the Bentley Turbo R
Nope...Patek Philippe.
The Weezard--"Oh No". Which really means "I have to rent a trailer to take all of Hoovie's cash to the bank"!!!
13:50 do ppl still fall for this "I'm sooo dumb" schtick? You're describing the entire plot of your channel.
eat soup
Enjoyed your video. I have come to realize the BEST AND SMARTEST way to buy one of these risky purchases is to let you buy it, sort and fix it, THEN BUY it from YOU for half price. EVERYBODY WINS, sort of!!😎
7:27 Car "EJACULATES" all over the "Car Wizard" lol
Money shot
I thought it was like lancing a boil!
Love this smart guy playing the every day joe who does the dumbest things car wise and his friend Wizard who takes him to the office of reality check of mechanical wisdom
