Bentley Continental GT?
Or are they just too "footballers wives"...?

Sub 35k now and awesome machines but I think tainted by the image.

Thoughts?

 

a bit big for hooning around in London, I'd rather have a maserati TBH

 

Where can I get one for £35k - I love 'em

 

id sooner have a porsche turbo

 

close enough:

Adventure Autos Limited : BENTLEY CONTINENTAL GT 6.0 W12 AUTO COUPE...TV..SAT NAV..KEYLESS GO!! 2004

 

Hideous

 

Auto Trader UK - BENTLEY Continental GT 6.0 W12

 

how much was it new.. £110k?
in five years its lost £70k!!!

 

yep, pound a mile in depreciation, dread to think about fuel and servicing.
At least the last owners used it though.

 

Although, just thinking - 30+% after five years isn't bad
Golf GTi of similar age and miles would be low 20s I reckon.

 

I'd certainly have one, can't fault in in any way apart from fuel and servicing costs

 

you would look like a right plant pot driving that

 

I picked one up just before xmas from the auctions. 55 Reg. Got it for a great price. Its a great car although a bit waggish but hey it was 110k+ new.

 

How does it drive? Does it feel its weight?

The one linked has fairly trashed alloys.

How reliable? Presumably lots of electric glitches being VW/German?

 

Slap yourself round the face lad! Its an awesome machine

 

Doesnt stop it being hideous

dont know about footballers , always seems to be driven by small men who can hardly see out or bulky villian types

 

County Liquidations Valuers, Auctioneers and Disposal Agents of VAT Liquidated, Finance Repossessed,and Surplus Trade Vehicles

They've got one on here with 40k on the clock.

Think I'd prefer a Mazzer personally..

 

There is one on the end of our road, I love them, Chav or footballer, whatever, still quite a vehicle, sod the image, just feel the quality.

Not sure if I would want one permanently, as it is a bit gauche but for a month or two, why not !

Anyway, i am no arbiter of taste, I dress like Clarkson !

 

I cant understand why people think of it as a chav car, is this because its popular ..... that usually tells me something a bit different

Anyway the car drives great, its 2400kg though & if cornering like your in a scooby then yes you can feel the weight, but for me its just a big gentle cruiser.

When i picked it up i took it straight to Bentley in Hamilton & got some warranty jobs done on it as its still got warranty for some reason until November this year although i dont know the reason why. They done some software download & its a bit more responsive as well.

I can honestly say i love it & the feeling of quality is immense. Its a 2nd car but still gets used the same as the RR Sport if i actually measured the time spent in both cars.



Edited to add that also its 0-60 time is sub 5 secs. I think i read that its 4.6 although i could be wrong & its also capable of nudging the 200mph barrier. I dont have the ***** to find out if this is the case though

 

who said he would drive it? he would just leave it on the drive with the rest of his fleet

 

I saw one getting booted whilst having a walk one night, sounded epic and I suspect left a wake vortex like a 747

 

Get a proper Bentley

Imperials : BENTLEY ARNAGE Red Label 4dr Automatic

 

A Rover 800 that's eaten too many pies.

Nice interior though.

STi -04 - have you also got a helicopter?!

 

I like the Cont-GT. But the thought of the running/servicing costs would just scare me silly. As said above. Rather have a 911 Turbo.

 

If you could get those dials in an A-pillar pod, I'd think about it

 

No

 

Stop calling everything that you dont like 'chav' Natalie. Whenever did you see a charver with over £100,000 to spend on a car?

 

I'd have one in a shot

don't see why such a beautiful bespoke car is chavvy------- after all look at the state of some of the impreza's on here !!!!
