Buying a Used Bentley

With contemporary news headlines shouting doom and gloom over the economy, whilst the steadily increasing costs of motoring stifle the average motorist, buying a Bentley is most likely to be the last thing on anyone's mind at the moment. However, once in a while it's good to treat yourself to something nice. If it's luxury motoring that makes you tick, and you've got a little bit of cash rolling around in the bank, why not treat yourself to a Bentley? Of course, times are indeed hard, so we all need to wise with what we spend our money on. But this is where buying a used Bentley comes in!

Buying a used Bentley probably isn't the first thing to spring to mind when you think of a Bentley. But they do exist! In fact, buying a used Bentley is a pretty sure footed way of getting you the car you want, at a price you can't grumble at. Take Bentley's acclaimed model, the Continental GT. Arguably THE best Grand Tourer out there, countless celebrities and businessmen alike are proud owners of this style icon. The gorgeous looks speak for themselves, whilst the 6.0 litre, twin turbocharged W12 monster under the bonnet guarantees to slap a smile on your face whenever you need it to.

Brand new, one of these would have cost you around £110,000. Yes, that's a lot of money, but find yourself a 1 year old model with 4,000 miles on the clock and you'll be looking at spending around £95,000. Yes, that's still a lot of money, but if it's within your budget and it's the car you're after, surely it's worth the savings? On the other end of the scale, a five year old model with 40,000 miles on the clock will set you back around £50,000. Obviously, increasing maintenance and running costs would be something to bear in mind, but you can't ignore that massive drop in price!
