Cheap Bentley Continental GT update. How much will it cost to fix?

I've had some of the many issues fixed on my Bentley Continental GT, and I've priced up the rest. It's not great news..

We really appreciate all of you who watch our daft videos.

If you haven't seen the first video on the Bentley, you can see it here:

I have to say, I have been tempted by a Bentley, but now, I'm taking your advice. Many thanks for such good sensible advice!

I had given thought to and lusted after a Continental a few times. Thanks so much for bringing me down to earth, I'll stick with my '16, 750i, a car that someone paid £95k for, that, after a 75% drop, has just about ended it's major depreciation. After 2 years it's not given me any bother, despite having the running gear of a Rolls Royce, and my local mechanic is much easier to pay than the main BMW dealer. Great vid's cheers.

Fantastic delivery! You are a born presenter!

I’ve always wanted one but now they’re within reach (kind of) I’ve gone off them completely. Interesting video by the way, it’s usually me spending fortunes trying to fix things so makes a change to see somebody else doing it

Dry sense of humour had me in stitches!
Brilliant video, excellent delivery and very informative as well

[billwilson]

Thanks for bringing me back to reality. I had this “going to get a used Bentley “ floating around in my head but thankfully you sunk that for me. Love your humour.

Love the humour.
My 2016 GTC has (so far) cost me nothing in repairs over 8 months and I love it to bits!
Long may it continue!

Fair, honest, and funny. Big thumbs up again. But I have to say I still love how the Bentley looks. Everything in my body says not to buy one. I still have a strong feeling I'll get one one day.

You absolutely cracked me up mate!! Goes to say I won't be looking at any Bentley any time soon now! Back to the reliables for me.. on a budget. There are some cars I feel they're only good enough to be leased, not bought and this is one of them. Thanks for the infotainment!..

[KM-bvfp]

Enjoyed the humor and honest opinion. Plus helps others who might think they can get a cheap Bentley cheaply. Thank you for your service!

[nicksundby]

Completely brilliant, love the wry, spry crisp 'n dry delivery

[davidcoote]

I looked at one of these for my retirement present to myself. Like yours the ones I looked at were full of little faults. So i bought a Silver Shadow II for the same money and have not regretted it. Great review, thanks.

How can you not love a Bentley? They are beautiful and fast

“I don’t mind spending money on cars...especially if it’s to resurrect something interesting, or keep something special on the road.” Well said. This car is neither interesting nor special. Keep up the great vids!

I liked your presentation a lot and i agree that bentleys can get very expensive in maintenance/repair. I had to experience it myself. Here are my personal rulez for a Bentley buy:

1. Dont buy the cheapest, buy the best one you can afford.
2. If you cant buy it twice, you cant afford it.
3. Calculation of repair costs of an bentley compared to a normal car: Double the costs and mulitply it by ten.
(e.g. part costs: fender 3K, Turbo 5k a piece, bumper 3k or more, two batteries 800, tyre sensors 500€ a set without labour. Labour at bentley is 190€/hour in germany and so on)

The situation may vary if you are a car mechanic and you can do a lot of work yourself.

I deliberately neglected the cost of insurance, gas and taxes because you should know it already considering buying a car like a bentley.

“The automotive Antichrist.” That was funny that mate.

I bought a 2005 nearly 4 years ago with 24000 on the clock genuine mileage. Very pleased with it. Got a good local garage looks after mine.
To save taking the engine out to replace the oxygen sensor, they cut and welded sockets and spanners and did it from underneath! Saved me a fortune. They replaced both rear parking brake motors and brake pads for just over £400 which isn't bad. You either love them or hate them. Don't let these videos put you off buying one. Just because this guy bought one cheap which he knew needed TLC and he doesn't like the car anyway, they're not all like that! If you can afford the super unleaded petrol and get only 12 to 28 miles per gallon, then get one and enjoy it! Mine is a head turner when I drive it anywhere.

I wanted a Bentley... But not any more...Awesome honesty....

The prestige of owning a Bentley is being capable of paying the high running costs. Without a payday loan

[dogsandcars]

I love the sound that it makes starting up it’s like a jet
