Audi A4 B5? Maybe?
Personal experience : 10 000€ per year in maintaining,fixing , etc
2008 model coupe. But worth every penny when driving at 260-280kmh. Hell of a car !
I have two Bentleys
Continental GT 2007 model and
Flying Spur 2011 model
Both are great and maintenance are very affordable
The only expensive price I had to pay is to replace the started on my continental GT which costed me 3,000$ labor charge only since they had to remove the full engine.
I love these cars, very luxurious and powerful and still very very modern and eye catching :)
Me too! Only 2 different models..(an old R-type, and a Mulsanne)...
Yeah, expect to put 10 grand into it, but well worth it to have one of these fabulous cars for most of my adult life.
Very good review, as always! As an owner once said to me, " Make me an offer...ANY offer!" I was running away at the time.
Poor Hoovie had to learn the hard way 😂😂
While searching for an early coupe model some years ago, I could never find a car with good service records. So I fortunately never bought one. To me, this indicated that the sellers were trying to hide something. Now I know that there is a lot to hide about this car.
I love my 05 bentley.work on it my self.every time i step on the gas she makes me smile
As far as the inside shes beautiful and built well.i upgrade to blue tooth wifi and mirror cast.along with 1500 watts of pure bass.love it.keep up on the bentley video
omercop2 your Bentley works link failed
Such an underrated channel
I have a Flying Spur, which during the two years before I bought it was hardly driven at all. This lead to numerous electrical gremlins and a poor battery. The first thing I did was took to a local (and now trusted) specialist for a roof to rubber, bumper to bumper check. A long list of fixes appeared along with a not insignificant bill. Since then, all has been well. It gets driven regularly, although not a lot. When in the garage it's connected to a trickle charger to preserve the battery. As with all cars, regular maintenance will help keep your ownership experience a happy one. Thanks for sharing your tips - I'm off to check my scuttles. 🙂
I have been interested in getting one of the older GT models. It took months of watching videos on the car to realize that the repair costs can be crippling. I found a used one where I could buy a service contract that I can use at Bentley dealerships nationwide. Just the cost of that is $6,000 per year. I was looking at the convertible. Your video had all the information in just one video. Good job.
Just Fantastic. My wife couldn’t stop laughing, and I learned a whole lot being in the market for one of these magnificent automobiles.
Great video. I had the water leak in the passenger-side footwell on my VW Phaeton. Also, the tyre pressure sensors don't work but that's quite common. The parking sensors can be erratic but other than that it's been totally reliable.
I've been a Cadillac Man since forever...AND still am...08 DTS as we speak. I am however very much drawn to the Bentley Hard top GT...I pay these videos annnd "personal comments" very very close attention...juuust finished lookin at a video bout an "08"...😉
Problem is I'm in Michigan...BUT...NOT deterred.
Great video, always nice to see specific weak points for a car.
These are great bargains for such a luxurious and powerful car. I’ve seen many running around 700hp with simple tunes and exhaust modifications. That twin turbo W12 is a monster.
No, "bargains". Jokes really.
Beginning of this video is tremendous! 😂 Kudos on the comedy!
Very detailed video. Also very positive that u got pictures for that drain water tubes...great job!
Thanks!
Bentley Continental GT 2005 : if you can buy it for $40-45k with low miles, then it's just a best thing you can do for yourself compare it for $215k original sticker price for same car back in years. There is always a risk but, if you check everything and experienced as Bentley owner , you will be rewarded on everyday positive feeling driving a Bentley. As an alternative, you can drive any Mustang or Camaro or other so called sports cars for much less money but you don't know the difference between fancy good and average.
Bentley can never buy a piece of mind
@@Loachie90 that's what extended warranties are for
Wow nice, his video seems to be much better than your older ones. Like how you mentioned a vehicle specific knowledge with the drain. Some of your older ones felt very generic with basic buying tips across the board. Good job man!
Thanks, yes the older ones are not that good, on the other side making these newer videos takes me a lot longer
LOVE your videos like this! Super informative, well researched, and well presented.
Fantastic and informative video. Keep up the good work.
Got a Cayenne V8 at the moment but fell in love with the Continental GT. was looking for a review about the GT. well done!
Our familiy owns a 2011 Cayenne full opt a Continental Flying Spur 2014 and a Bentley GTC from 2009 all prewowend, living in Germany. I must say all cars have
there pros and cons but moneywise, I think our Cayenne was the best buy, a 180K Euro car bought for 35K, very good condition, lots of power. The others run very good too,
but the fear of a very expensive repair always remain. Very few maintenance shops for Bentley. But if you want a special car, which you see not very often on the streets
and you have some additional money for repairs in your pocket you may go with a bentley.
I read a quote to the maintenace costs a few days ago compared to a normal car......double the price and add a zero to it. If you check the parts costs you will see
that your are not very far away from this estimation.
I bought an 06 GT in Feb. Only problem I encountered was the vacuum leak. But you can't tell unless you KNOW what it feels like. She runs great even with the leak. Hit the gas and she answers! I changed the radio out myself because the factory was freaking outdated when it was new lol. Whoever had it before me had a bunch of electronics in it and I ripped all that crap out. (Radar jammers...some type of aftermarket thing to play movies on the Nav screen. And some Alpine bluetooth stuff). Next step is to upgrade the speakers.
Stacksmusic
I bought an 04 6 months ago
Did you repair vac leak?
Love my car though
I do need to replace passenger door window motor. Sometimes goes out for a few minutes
Frank Cook
No I haven't fixed it yet. Trying to allocate my money to buy a few rentals. Try doing the window reset procedure first before you spend money on the window.
Stacksmusic
Hey
Thanks for the reply. I will try and find this reset procedure online.
Thank You much!!
How it feels the vacuum leak?
This is a great help. Going to look at a 2004 GT tomorrow and you've helped me make a good checklist. Thanks for making these videos :)
Billy Osborn did you find one?
This video was helpful. Thanks
As with any large purchase, you must do your homework first. Get educated on what you're attempting to buy. Great video. Thank you.
Extremely helpful video, thank you so much. Loved the dog censors too, lol.
Always wanted a GT, after watching this video of what could go wrong and the cost involved, it’s too costly for me. Buying it is the easy part, maintaining it is another story.
And what a story that would be lol
Ergo, massive depreciation.
Your sense of humor is hilarious😂
Excellent video! Thank you for making and posting
Do you know if the Flying Spur ( which were launched as 2006 model) had the later repositioned vacuum lines ?
Very helpful review. Thank you!
excellent video! keep it up man
thanks man!
I like your reviews, keep up the good work.
"Kvikly ran evay from it" lmao. Good , exhaustive video, thank you.
i got a benz now wanted to buy one of these in the next year or two!!!
this vehicle is nothing but trouble. Are you deaf or blind? Or both. press replay
thanks for the informative video!
Top quality, useful video. 👍 Thank you.
And now I have no dreams of getting a Bentley. Thank You (I guess). 15k break job
Only for ceramic brakes.
Very good and helpful video!
That is very informative. More videos Please !
Dallas European Auto, Please come see Robert McGullam to perform a Pre-Owned inspection of your new Bentley Continental before purchase.
Excellent video, very informative! Such cars do not seem worth all the trouble and risks imo......
Love your videos.. can you make one about the xts caddy 2013- 2016
thanks alot , very nice video and thank u for ur time
Good review
Good information fancy putting all the hoses under engine
Thank you very informative.
I loved it , very good video AAA.
My Bentley continental GT.
If you look after it by Bentley.
You don't have problems.
Very detailed video
Please make more 🤓
Which is the best year to purchase between 08 to 10 Bentley GT. Thanks
Very instructive video, thank you! I am interested in a convertible. Starting which year can you recommend? Many thanks.
Thanks that was helpful
You saying you can get a breitling watch for 34k euro you can pick up a decent one for €2,000
Thank you!
Bentley lowrider! IM DEAD!!!!!!!!!! LOL
What are “syramic brakes”?
Just kidding. Good video and GREAT tips! :)
Looking at an 06 flying spur. 57k on it price tag 32k. Carfax sells me. 2 owner all maintenance done at bentley dealer. I have done research on parts and also insurance. Both cheaper then the 09 s550 im driving now. Opinions. Please and thank you
A car with 2 batteries can never been easy to repair
Bentley's are not for everyone.
Owning a Bentley Used or New the experience is the Ambiance. It's NOT for Everybody.
The cars are dependable and reliable and not all of them are money pits just because they're used with a few owners.
Keep in mind when owning a Bentley you do not drive that car EVERYDAY,
you have other vehicles that you drive daily.
Again it's not for everyone to have.
I agree, it is not for everyone. I realize one needs to accept it will be costly to maintain. It's a gorgeous and high performance machine. I disagree with your idea of not driving it everyday. If I am fortunate enough to own one I will absolutely drive it everyday. I will also repair what needs attention. I wish there were more comments from owners who put miles on their cars.
So do you give any good ratings on any vehicle ?
Sure he does....on good vehicles.
I think this car is one of the most reliable on his list until it fails👎🏽 but what car doesn’t have problems? 🤷🏾♂️
B G ya but to remove the whole engine to replace a crack hose that cost $50 is some annoying engineering .waste of time and money for luxury .you would expect Bentley to be some hard ass reliable car for the name and price. Wtf. This is the same reason why I didn't buy the Audi R8 V10. Same similar nonsense!
My mechanic is able to repair the vacuum lines without dropping the engine. Notice I said repair and not replace. It’s MUCH cheaper to repair them.
Peace to Bentley
Nice intro
Been looking for one all week... after watching this... nahh
Wow you would to be game to buy one these sec hand ,cant belive for a car that cost so much new ment to be quality have so many expensive things go wrong with 10 years how does that work ?
Do a mustang video!
Oompah loompas..puhahaha subscribed!
can you make e mk2 golf please
Bro funny as hell
How stupid that plastic pipe behind the engine... They could have made it from metal.
This car is crazy.. just like black hole
F or Table?
A reality check ?
Where are you from buddy?

Someone do a video on the volvo s60 damn it!
👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Your video was well done. Congratulations. Sad you had your sh1t words muffled, you people say it as it is.
This men can't buy the watch or the car heater 😒
Epic money pit, wow!!!!
JUST DON'T!!
Great car, BUT its a money pit!!
this car is troubles
Why on earth would someone buy this car
Cj James:--Can't afford a Rolls Royce.
Stupidity. Weak ego. Small....
Another car that looks good but inside it's garbage
Gerard Short What do you mean by "inside"? The materials are fantastic but don't get me wrong, the infotainment system is a bit shitty because of courde, it's almost a 15 yr old car
It really look good
Not garage. Garbage can't perform like this amazing car. It's gorgeous design is an all-time great. Watch. It's performance is an all-time great. It's reasonable to expect high maintenance cost for a special car such as this. For those that accept this, others' fear has driven the price down. Good.
"Rewards come to those willing to risk".
Well built car??? Sagging headliner?? Engine has to be removed to replace hoses? Window removed to change a brake light??? Air..con pump.failure causes that car to shut down, no brakes, which could be serious on a motorway or country road 🤔my advice ( run away )
Holy crap!
So this is only a car that you should buy within its first 3 to 5 years of life really... So it’s a glorified rich man’s handbag that isn’t being made as well as it should be
I own an ‘05 GT and wouldn’t trade it for the world. It’s a fantastic car.
Good to hear, James. It can't be as bad as so man feel. Have you put miles on it? Has it held up?
@@palmz4ustill goin strong? Any major repairs?
@@Dale424 Lots more problems! Charging system, steering rack, ride height sensor, oil leaks, cooling system, turbo solenoids, just to name a few. I traded it for a ‘23 Lexus ES 350 and couldn’t be happier! I spent $33,000.00 at an independent exotic car repair shop. Don’t buy a used Bentley!!!
@@secondlooksformen3836 Worst, most problematic car I’ve ever owned! It was a curse to own.
Disappointed!
Ato Nympha Why?
@@imadtanouticonta I love the design but the review just killed it..I thought it will be super reliable for it price and fame
Yes sir, to be honest, this review was a little bit shitty. Great car though
A rich mans car.. sadly!
No. Count your blessings, if you never own one.
@@wholeNwon Why do you think so?
@@dkvikingkd233 Isn't it obvious? Why do you think they depreciate so massively?
@@wholeNwon No, apparently it wasn't clear to me.. I think they're beautiful cars!
@@dkvikingkd233 Bentleys have always been beautiful cars. Though I prefer the styling of previous generations and would probably never buy any VW product, there's nothing wrong with buying a car just to have something to decorate the garage. Of course, if you want to drive it and expect the machine to reliably transport your body from point A to point B, well, that's a different issue.
Never buy a car like this off of warranty...used bents are money pits.
I had a vacum leak when I bought the Bentley 2006. Luckly the dealer took the cost of repair. And also the tire presion has a error. For that money to replace it i take it for what it is. I drive the car now 1 year whitout any other problems.
