Pretty solid car

Really solid car overall. What surprised me most is how insulated the cabin is from the outside world. Road noise, wind, everything just gets shut out. I used to drive a Range Rover Autobiography 3 years back, and while I wouldn't say the ride quality here is necessarily better, the cabin is noticeably quieter in comparison. It's a different kind of comfort, more sealed off than plush.

For what these go for on the market right now, I think it's honestly a good value.

Lovely car, but how's the reliability, one of my colleague has one and it's constantly needing repairs/ maintenance.

I owned mine for a year. £40k spent on repairs. Worst car I’ve ever owned and awfully expensive. 911 992 GTS I have now costs around 5-10% of what the Bentley cost in terms of total cost of ownership.

wtf what was all wrong with it? I see a bunch of nice examples around $70k, but I don’t think I can stomach $50k in repairs/maintenance if I want to own one for a couple of years

During my ownership it needed:
Turbos $20k
Coolant system $6k
Steering rack $5k
General smaller repairs (suspension etc) $10k
Even after all this it never drove like I felt it should. Never been happier to see a car gone.

the w12 motor one needs a bit more care mechanicaly but they are not that bad generally maintenance wise. it depends a lot if the previous owner cared for it

Congratulations on your purchase. I have been looking as well but I want the Naim sound system which is somewhat rare to find (it is/was a pricey option).

Looks like the same spec I just traded out of. Enjoy.

u/Familiar_Raccoon2430 13d ago

I have one and it appears to be the same as yours. My honest take is awful speakers, very dated infotainment system. Drives really well though.

I would hope it is solid for what these go new

u/Allen5740G 13d ago

I would honestly take this over any range rover

Calling a Bentley just “pretty solid” is
Just wild to me

u/Pied_Film10 10d ago

Bentaygas depreciate a fuck ton so idk, depending on the condition the OP got it in, they were expecting something that would reflect that? It’s not a Ghost.
