Bentleys from that Era also suffer from electrical issues and some of those parts aren't made anymore. A lot of the Continental GT's in that era suffer from turbo failure caused by secondary oil pump failing ever so slightly. Not enough to trigger a warning, but the turbos get starved of oil and then they gone. Ask the Car Wizard.
Most likely you mean the V8 Continentals, the W12 Continentals are reliable, the downside is the lack of room to work on them, require to much labor for anything simple.
That car you can buy Audi parts for and the Volkswagen parts for when you go to the Bentley dealer they will charge you up for the same part so do some research on that because I had a similar problem with mine but my mechanic knew that you can get Audi and Volkswagen parts for the suspension. Also get an alignment done at Audi. It’s around $400 Bentley always pretty much doubles the price of the same thing, I think it’s the Audi a eight and a Volkswagen phaeton that you can get parts off of. If you do your research you will find that and it will save you a lot of money. I guarantee it enjoy the car bro.
If you do a lot of it yourself, which is easier than some may think on a Bentley, they get far cheaper. I own and maintain an Aston 4.7 V8V and I likely make far less than you do, I'm just a one employee small business owner. But I do all my maintenance myself, so it's quite affordable. More expensive than a Honda Accord, still, no doubt. But far cheaper than overpaying someone else to do remedial tasks for you.
I take mine to the dealer to get diagnosed properly which they charge 100s for and then order the parts myself and let my mechanic buddy put them on. It’s a expensive car but it’s still a CAR so most any mechanic can fix them long as they know WHAT they are fixing.
I’ve had a Bentayga, flying spur and the GT so far to maintain and repair for customers. They are such an awesome vehicle and feel very lucky to have my job to touch them every day
Car Wizard is awesome, but he really sent so many people off a plank on that. The trunk motor needs two gears and they cost $65 (plastic like oem) or $100 (aluminum).
Struts are super common to go out on those cars, the headliners start sagging all the time and the dash leather will shrink, so make sure to park in the shade!
I am a former multiple Bentley owner. They are what I refer to as "three year cars". Or, put another way, only worth having if you can run to buying a new one because after the warranty runs out you really are 'on your own' and sadly they are not generally reliable cars.
$2100 for tires? Where's the shop getting them from, Tiffany's? 😂 $1300 puts you in a fine set of touring tires. Upper control arm parts are $250-350, labor 2 hours max. Tire pressure issues is probably the TPMS module, cheap, easy fix. The Module is located right behind the rear seat, driver's side, but DON'T expect a new module to work, need to match the serial number from a used unit, otherwise the car will not talk to it without Bentley programming the module and even then, no guarantee. Great looking car, perhaps the finest modern GT on the planet, albeit, newer ones have shamed the earlier versions, though at astronomical prices of like $300K. Also, one should own their own oil company to afford the gas... 😊 Enjoy, big man!
My man, Burlacher the content is getting better and better, you seem a lot more comfortable these days. I've been a subscriber for a long time, damn near the beginning, and I'm loving your growth brother! Keep up the good work!
When you made the first video about possibly buying the Continental, I referred to a video stating that the Continental GT was rated as the worst car for dependability/maintenance
you did the right thing by gettting a Bentley. you are a CEO and you deserve a classy car like that. Just space out the payments and try not to buy any more new cars anytime soon and all will be well! Keep crushing it, like you say!
Bentley car is outstanding price are high for repair,maintenance, and insurance instead of buying luxury car you can buy normal car that’s affordable like in Douglas, Ga district car dealership gmc, or you can use money to help the poor because without them not all folks are wealthy or rich money can’t buy happiness no offense I am saying truth fact.
wouldve been way more awesome to see you buy a brand new 2022 gt500 and instead of repairs you couldve put a whopping $10k into it and got a e85 tune exhaust supercharger pulley tires and ported supercharger and boom you have 1200hp and can run mid to.low 9s in the 1/4mile not to mention stock they get you around a track within a second or faster than cars like a Ferrari f8 tributo Lamborghini huracan evo and porsche gt3rs. So Supercar that costs mustang money to fix if need be. Hellcat redeye makes more hp but yet loses to stock gt500 and hellcat couldnt take a turn if your life depended on it. oh and couldve got one starting at 70k or carbon fiber track pack for 85-95k
Yeah... Bentley offers little to none content for his youtube channel and is a massive money sink. This purchase would make sense only if he was a carwizard who fixes cars himself
Front wishbone and strut tower are 30k miles parts. I drive mine spiretively on small roads, i change them every 2 oil change... consumables... on another level.
I've seen a lot of horror stories about buying a used Bentley. There was one where something was broken and the company that used to make that part (not Bentley) went out of business and then the newer models used a different company. So in the end he couldn't get the part new. I'd say just get a Lexus. Take care of it and drive it until the wheels fall off.
Im not sure how many people would be interested but I would love to see a sneaker tour, I love shoes as much as cars and I always love seeing what new shoes you cop
Had savini 22 on my bentley caued susp issues.put the original rims and tires. I wraped my bentley pearl satin white.avery wrap.i would do the same color would look nice with that red interior.
@@msway836 dealerships sell it or there are warranty companies you can purchase from as long as the sale is with in 30 days of the purchase of warranty.
I'm sensing either the Rose Acanthus wrap, or the closest to it which would probably be a matte Rose, or matte satin chrome pink. Tron AutoLab going to be hooking you up. But the wrap have to. match those shoes you showed us.
I am in the hood of Detroit. There is a lot of rappers driving those kind of cars in Detroit. With forgiato rims. Those tires should not cost you no more than 200 to $300 a piece. Don't fall for anything kid
I saw the title and was typing a Hoovies garage comment but the first sentence out of your mouth beat me to it. You don’t buy a Bentley anything unless you have unlimited funds or a Car Wizard!
Part of the issue is you’re going to the dealer. Of course everything is going to be expensive. You can get tires cheaper from tire rack, and I’m sure there are independent mechanics that can work on that car much cheaper.
You are correct. He’s also not being clear about the “Bentley annual service”. It’s different every time. So for his to be that high it’s not a minimum annual service. My Bentley is under warranty so I go to the dealer but my services are way less than this one cause it ain’t thrashed 🤣
Burl. Here's the playbook. Specialty is account. This skills will be great plan and structure. Develop into channel. This can be folding two times. With a money sometimes turmoil. This burlacher can succeed! Try to show the RUclips that burlacher channel goes strong and plays the excellent service. This will include a show the path of not lambo not any non-burlacher. Put a cargurus and lets plan! Choose the 3 vehicles for the increase viewer channel. Lets share the cars and prove you will stay with a traditional channel we all enjoy.
I have questions if you don’t mind: How did those rims get so mangled? What tires did they price you the second time? How much is the wrap? $2000? What would the vehicle be worth after you’ve completed all the repairs? How is $7000 a lot of money when you have a Hellcat? 🤣 The seats in that Bentley are probably $20,000 Anyhow thank you for sharing a glimpse into the world of luxury cars 👍🍻
Beautiful Bentley but the aftermarket wheels are so ugly. The silver color makes it look 10 years older than it already is. Get some more modern looking black wheels.
When people say “my oil change and alignment was 4800” they are lying. He casually threw in there it needed an “annual service” but god knows what that entailed. And from the condition of the car it was probably thrashed. These companies don’t really to single services because it doesn’t make sense for the intervals. So when you do your w12 oil change which isn’t so simple you also fo a handful of other things.
If you cannot not afford the up keep,do like other owners do, buy new or lease new! All under new car warranty and cost is less than buying an old Continental GT!😊
It's a real shame what has happened to Bentley and Rolls Royce after their split. Neither of the famous brands have been able to maintain the respectfull reputation they were founded on. The Bentley Contenential range whilst being a popular fashionable success seems to have created a lot of problems for themselves, like most other common modern cars. This problem is overengineering, which has lost it balance with practicality. People more than ever have the money to buy cars without having to consider their real needs and practicality, as we pay more for things on cars that we can not physically use, but complicating it beyhond practicallity. Cars are being made faster everyday whilst everyday we are restricted more and more by speed limits to slow down, leaving most motorist to just become boasting tyre kickers.
You are correct and also very fortunate if you can fully use all the performance and speed that a most cars today have. I know I can not and when it comes to luxury cars one if the biggest mistakes is when they don't know how to compromise with simplicity, which should be a big part of producing a dependable and practical luxury car. Not just a pile of the latest gadgets on wheels to show off with.
This guy said the dealership told him something might b wrong with the car num nut y would u even consider buying it this guy is a fraud who spends 93k on a car that has issues got even clout chasers in the car world 😊
Oh man!! I appreciate you brother!! Surgery recovery is going well 🙏🙏🙏

That's only 2011 and earlier models... For flying spur it's 2013 and earlier. 2014 and newer are absolute gems
Thanks for that tip.

Bro. The control arms are only $650. You would be supprised how easy they are to change. They look just like an Audi A4 arms. Ive done those before.

One thing I also watch out for is the trunk mechanisms wear out eventually and those parts are not made anymore
Car Wizard is awesome, but he really sent so many people off a plank on that. The trunk motor needs two gears and they cost $65 (plastic like oem) or $100 (aluminum).
My granddad had that issue on his Azure and Flying Spur (both cars from around the 2003-2006 era)

There have been some already, Hoovie stopped by with his million mile diesel. Burlacher went to Kansas and bought the old yellow H2 hummer
I still love the shoe aspect of the videos. I like the more rare pairs but I watch everything. And opening day, man nothing beats that. Lol...👟👟Show

Cant you just get it to a random VAG service? It basically a Phaeton underneath...
Just a question why didn't you buy an aftermarket warranty on this car? It would take care of some of your repair costs. Or any future major cost.
Do you get that at the Dealership he bought it from or in the Marketplace?
@@msway836 dealerships sell it or there are warranty companies you can purchase from as long as the sale is with in 30 days of the purchase of warranty.
Why don’t you buy it brand new 😅😅😅
Nick, Have you tried to refurbish the rims and mayby paint then in a different color ??
It can save you !!
I'm sensing either the Rose Acanthus wrap, or the closest to it which would probably be a matte Rose, or matte satin chrome pink. Tron AutoLab going to be hooking you up. But the wrap have to. match those shoes you showed us.
I love your content so much, Nick! Keep it up!:)
Burlacher Be Ballin !
Just wondering... if the 3k dollars for the control arms including labour or just for the parts?
Nailed that "hoovies garage" intro you did 😂
Maybe go somewhere other than Bentley for the service? Must be somewhere you trust that doesn't have automatic Bentley tax

Another video where the bentley is the hook, but its really about promoting this man.
Dude imo those wheels fit the Bentley perfect lowkey think you should just fix them up and keep it on there
Trade for a V8 Bentley and tune to achieve W12 power and you should go no problem
And just like that we're back baby

What do you mean “How much are tires on a Bentley?”. They are tires lol, just buy them from tire rack and avoid the dealer markup.
amazing hoovie impression
Why is the alignment and oil change so insanely expensive? Even with a Bentley tax, that seems too high
When u go to places like that they charge more for, “better service”
Im sure the w12 is alot like the Bugatti w16 and has alot of oil and alot of drain points, I don't think these are easy to work on either
Right? $900 for an oil change seems wild.
@@michaelfenton1887 yes the W system is extremely difficult and very complex to work on which is why that costs so much

Do a reverse Stradman, wrap the Bentley a cool titanium white with purple chrome rims.

That Bentley would look really good in the red and black color scheme on Jame's Urus
Thank you!!
Doing a great job love the videos keep it up
I think midnight purple looks really good on the continental ct

Aside from the repairs, it looks awesome.
the is the reason why the steering wheel is vibrating. it is telling you it not safe to get up to those speeds
I be watching to see what J’s you rockin
Perfect spec Bentley. I knew he couldn't just leave it be. Watch it become a tacky-looking shitbox in 3...2...1...
i don't agree but still I lol'd irl
The first problem with your 2012 Bently continental GT it's a 2012 Bently GT
also will you be doing wide body on the hellcat?
Here the deal Hoovie has the Car Wizard saves him a ton of Cash on repairs !!!!
Come on BURLACHER quit selling your self short man your videos are awsome!!! Let's go my Utah brother!!!
might be cheaper to ship it to the wizard
Yeah 750 for and alignment my a$$, James knows somebody lol
Should have bought the Chevelle, about $70. for the service. But, I'm not gonna say anything.
Great video, I'll see you on the next one.
I will never complain about my $100 oil change again
All this makes me appreciate Lexus so much more
I want your job to have such nice cars and garage!
wow you are so cool eating filming and driving. so much skill
Wonderful video! Please keep the wheels on the Bentley
So is that car called the Bentlacher?
Just to be CLEAR... You paid $93k for a car, without doing ANY research, or at LEAST having it checked out first...
Got it...
2012 is the problem
My brother I heard you say $900 for an oil change 😲 if you're going to be stupid you gotta be tough 🤷♂️
