I'm presently in the market for a Bentley, you have most helpful. Thanks much
My pleasure Steve!
As a gtc owner…you gave VERY accurate and honest advice (and numbers). Great job!
Would u recommend GTC as a daily driver?
Excellent, very knowledgeable. Compares 4 models, common issues and repair costs, most rec years and features. Straight forward and Honest. Want to buy a car from him!
Thank you Liz! Cars and helping people are my passion
Outstanding information!!! Thank You. Helping me decide
I really appreciate your review! Very informative! No one cover most of your talking points in their videos. Great find for me!
Absolutely outstanding! I'm looking at several here before I buy and this has been the most useful of all the information I've seen, and I've been looking for months. Thank you from the bottom of my wallet...
Excellent video. Content and production are tip notch.
Thank you so much.🎉The best video I've seen on BENTLEYS.I, WOULD BUY A CAR FROM YOU.
Such an informative video. Thank you for your honesty and the great content. Bye the way I’m new to your channel and my name is Benny! Thanks again!
Thanks Benny! Hopefully will make some more videos soon!
I hit a curb in my 09 at less then 5mph. Didn’t go over it and was head on. Basically just in drive from a standstill without gas pedal engaged. $36,500 repair bill.
Such a great video. Bravo! Subscribed. Looking forward to more!
Thank you Jonathan! Appreciate the support
Great information! Love the Rolex Yacht Master on your wrist too!
Thank you!
Actually you can buy the key blanks much cheaper online and program them yourself with software you can buy online (Ross-Tech). You can also source Audi parts much cheaper than the Bentley counterparts.
You're right, we have tried some aftermarket blanks for the older models, but found they feel much cheaper, lighter, and don't hold up as long as an original Bentley key. And LOTS of Audi parts will crossover for these cars and that alone will save you a ton of money.
I needed this video , I’m stuck between bentayga and continental gt
@Mr Morris lol I definitely have it , I have 4 streams of income totaling well into the 6figure range , stay blessed and enjoy your Honda Civic
Great video. Super helpful. Thank you.
I just bought a ‘18 flying spur. Anything that you can recommend for me to look out for?
Great info! Much needed prior to a purchase.
Thank you for this video. I'm considering buying a GTC, and this helps. One thing, though, just an opinion, but I hate the Mulliner diamond stitched interior. To me it looks very low-class, like they're just making it more complicated for the sake of complication. My first exposure to this type of stitching was on Kustom Kars from the 50s, and while I love that type of car, they often have diamond -stitch interiors, and I never liked it on them either. Putting it on a modern Bentley doesn't improve the look, if anything it makes it worse. On the other hand, I would love a House of Kolor Kandy paint job on a modern Bentley. I realize many people will find that contradictory. Even I can see the humor in my own opinion, but it's really how I feel.
Cool Man... COOL...!
It would be so cool if Bentley went back to these old-school headlights in front grill. 👍👍👍👍
great insight, thank you for sharing!
Excellent information, thank you.
Great video.
Considering these are hyped up Audi's the cost of repair is huge. Everything seems to be in the thousands!!!
Thank you! That is true, you gotta pay to play!
Thats not reasonabl justification for thousands on everything easily accessible like undercar bushings and suspension reapair. Its robbery straigh up.
Diggin these videos dude keep it up
Thanks bud! I appreciate the support
Oil change once a year?
Thank you sooooo much for the info💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥Do the 2014 GTC tend to have more problems with the electrical/convertible roof issues than others??????
Very informative
Awesome video. Keep up the great work
Thank you!!
Thanks, For your insight. God bless.
Great content I guess I need save a bit more money and opt for a 2012+
Great content👍. I am considering a 2016 GT Speed with 65,000KM is that too high a mileage in 2024 or is it ok if service is up to scratch? any advice is appreciated.
*So the v8 is cheaper to maintain?*
Love these cars and appreciate the info.
I wish all car dealers were a straightforward as this guy because he could damn sure sell me a car
That is a great compliment. Thank you
Lease or buy given maintenance costs?
great review ,the Germans make great looking and driving cars but they all seem to be very expensive to repair and maintain.
How many miles are they good for? All else in good shape but too many miles, how many is too many?
Excellent!
I won’t buy a luxury car until I can do all the maintenance myself but that’s why I’m going to school for it
2011 Bentley battery dies every couple days even tho it’s being charge while not being driven why would that be? I hope you can help me out
I recommend running a load test on both batteries and checking them for age. It is common that both need to be replaced every couple of years. If a new battery is being drained quickly, their might be a deeper problem that requires more diagnosis.
Nice info. 😉
Is the 2016 w12 speed, worse than the 2017 v8 s?
03:50 those balled tires entitles you to thousands off this car!
The car had new tires installed before it was sold. At the time I made the video they were on back order
Oh for the days when a Bentley suspension system was just a rebadged Citroen one...
Definitely I'll buy a car from you Sir, first what I need it's Money ! 😢
10:30 which one can i get for $15 000..
Any recommendations on the warranty company that has the least amount of hassle when something does come up?
We sell extended service contracts for Bentley from a company called La Salle. They’ve been nothing but fantastic. Some people prefer buying the warranty from Bentley, however that is typically over double the price
7k for a 2 year extended warranty with conditions is an example to to buy this car.
No keys is not because people push hard it is because poor construction......
My 2013 needed a new black conv top. Prices were astronomical and the guy that does my boat canvas replaced it for $800.00 and it's been on ever since. GR8 SHARE!
Wow
Very informative
U are very realistic about the cars ESPECIALLY AS A SALESMAN. Honest and genuine with your words and u don't see that often. Keep it up bro
What a fantastic review! These are exactly the answers to questions that all prospective Bentley buyers should be aware of.
It's so refreshing to see how honest you appear in this video.
Really well done !!!
Thank you so much for the feedback!
Awesome video. Honest, genuine and very helpful. I might by a car from this guy.
Thank you! I appreciate the comment!
@@presidentialautodelray ive had a few Bentley ‘s ( GT and GTC) . The core thing in the pre 2014 models is the air suspension because there are always issues around 70k miles and they are only replaced in pairs
There are also issues with the suspension bushes , radiator, hoses , rear brake light , key ( gbp 1500 pounds for a key lol ) the electrics and audio system
my last repair bill from Bentley on a GTC which had the air suspension changed was a cool GBP 🇬🇧 pounds 18, 000 ( including main dealer service and labour and parts ) …. as the left air suspension unit went and they replaced both ……
i didn’t get any issues though with the gtc roof over 4 years so happy with that but you do need deep pockets to own a bentley and correct you need an aftermarket “ super car “ warrenty….
Excellent comparison and review. I just bought a 2006 Coupe with 21,000 miles and love it. Also have a Boxster for the other end of the fun spectrum. Your comments on the weak points were very realistic and reassuring compared to the hysteria on many videos about the vacuum tubes and suspension. Will be putting in a surround view camera system and updated infotainment system with CarPlay etc for just under $7,000 which is cheaper than going for a post 2012 to get the same thing, although of course it won't increase the sale price too much when I decide to sell it. However, the car should outlast me as I am getting well down the other side of the age hill.
I have a Bentley continental 2006 greatest car I have every owned! Still have a Porsche and MB for running around every day. The Bentley is for special days.
That is PRO presentation.
Thanks for the feedback!
@@presidentialautodelray does the Conv Top issues apply to the 2022 gtc
@@realasscracka Its too early to tell since it is a new design. I'd hope it is fixed!
The best Bentley review EVER……thank you so much….
As a 4 time Bentley owner you have hit almost every issue. EGT sensors,And Servo flap motors.also need to be included.
Thank you!
Would u recommend GTC as daily driver?
Great video About time finding a video how a man should do it straight to the point the issues, and cost
Thank you Ronald!
Absolutely brilliant, extremely honest and informative. Its always best to buy from a dealer who knows his stuff. Well done. Regards Andrew. 👍
Thank you Andrew!!
Fantastic review if you can call if that all around. Thank you for the information on the convertible top. That’s insane to spend that amount of money to change the top. I mean I get it’s a Bentley but still… I still think the convertible looks kind of ugly in the back with top up. This car looks best as the hardtop couppe
Very informative. I have a GT and GTC and even I learned a lot. Great honest advice
Thank you for the comment!
Really good concise detail talking like only a dealer who handles lots of these specific models… and clearly a good place to buy given he will have done all these checks and a few others for you. . Top job review thanks..
Thank you for the feedback! I appreciate the kind words
Many thanks. I'm planning on buying a Flying Spur to replace my Panamera 4S. I'm surprised that maintenance costs seems to be cheaper!!!
Thanks so much for this Video. I currently have and S class and want to move up to Bentley. I wasn't sure about what to look for in a used Bentley. THANKS
Excellent Presentation and Advice!!! Highly Informative!!
👍👍
Thank you .Dealer took $8k off the price because of the suspension air bags. It tured out they were not bad, like i told him. Bought a 2012 GT with 46k for $32k
The most knowledgeable and most honest man in the business! I know first hand after a dozen or so Presidential cars.
Thank you Mike! Always a pleasure working with you
Seen video in 6/24
I own since new the Flying Spur. 2007, with 30K miles.
I don't recall any issues with the car. Still own and maintenance is the key to maintaining any automobile. When you buy these automobiles new or used you know you have to put money in them. This is not the type of car you can let things go on. I never done that. Thank you.
I live in Clearwater Beach Florida.
Good review. FYI - on 2006 and later with the iPod cable off the CD changer, you can get a Bovee 1000 unit that simply plugs into that cable and gives plug and play Bluetooth streaming for under $80.
There is an LED Headlights upgrade ;( the brand : DEPO) and audio upgrades too!
I like Bentleys but i rather to buy cars with less depreciation like japonness cars you did an excellent tour guide i would buy from you very honest
Absolutely great review. I love my 2012 GT
Thank you!
Excellent video discussing the differences in the trim lines, thanks!
Thanks Kevin!
What a brilliant video. Every motor channel could learn from this. Fabulous.
Interesting review. I wonder why the keys should be so expensive, the price list shows something around 500-600 Euros for 2 keys and around 650
for 3 (with valet) We replaced a set of two for around 500 Euros some years ago. Compare this to my Smart 453, they wanted 320 Euros for 1 key at the Merc Dealer (incl. programming).
I realized a dream two weeks ago and bought a convertible 2009 with Mulliner specs. I knew that maintenance is expensive but do yourself a favour, dont look on the part and repair-costs cause you wont buy one afterwards- it ist really depressing. Iam a guy with normal income...and a little passion.
Great videos! I wish you'd make more. You also look like Liev Schreiber who plays Ray Donavan ... a younger version, of course!
Great feedback on these vehicles. Thank you for your report. Thoroughly enjoyed it and learnt a lot 👍
Thanks for the feedback! I am happy you enjoyed it
Great Channel Mark keep it up this will certainly get you some views sales and later on monetize
Thanks bud!
You’ve given the absolute best info to any Bentley buyer. I happened to have an excellent 2000 Arnage. Would one day upgrade to 2008-2009 or an older Muslanne at a great price.
The Mulsanne is one of my all time favorites! Highly recommend
Thanks dude, most of all I now know how the gens/facelifts went and also the three different versions
Very underrated video and man. Helped a TON
very helpful. need more videos like this. thank you!
Dude, you are awesome. Thanks for being honest and so damn knowledgeable. Much appreciated!!!!
Excellent video, thanks for the info!
Let's be honest, the Auto Industry isn't exactly overflowing with integrity, and German cars (which include Bentley and Rolls, they're not British cars), have been the least reliable and most costly cars I've ever seen ... that's when you are buying German and not a dressed up Renault … cough ... Mercedes ... cough.
It's a shame that there aren't more Marks out there!
Great video thanks for the information.
Great and informative video. I'm considering getting into a used Bentley towards the later part of this year and will definitely reach out to Mark.
Thank you! I'd be happy to help
You said updated grill on 2015 wrong! Only bottom half bumper.
You said full led on 2012 wrong xenon/led.
Great info
My brothers 15 gt v8s does not have the “B” fender grill on the side :/ I think only the 15 up w12 has it.
Great video. Thank you
A lot of good sense here. Thanks for all the info.
A very helpful rundown on the car models. Thank you. Appreciate the trouble you went to.
Great informative review of the models.
Thank you!
One of the most comprehensive car videos I have EVER seen.
Yes you can by a car without Mulliner...... this guy -you need Mulliner but not w12. 😅
Great presentation!! Very informative. Convertible is not claustraphobic compared to the coupe. Just my preference.
Are you kidding? The coupe isn’t claustrophobic at all.
Where is presidential auto sales? I'm not as leary of Bentley as before because this was Honest and helpful
We're in Delray Beach, Florida
Man, you're a Bentley EXPERT !! NExt one, I'be going from London to Florida to get it from you !! Cheers
Great video
