Well said.

VW's inherent engineering defects seem to be not their concern, and they don't seem to care about repeat customers either.

Hard pass on anything from the VW Group.

Which MYs? On my 3rd Bentley and no issues.. 09 GT, 14 GTC, 13 GT Speed

Its an impressive piece of automotive engineering but I just don't see the value in it at 3 million

GT 06 and GTC 07, both bought used from from dealer who gave them a clean bill of health (each had around 27k miles). Yes, only years later realized the early models seem to be horror stories and the newer ones appear to be better. Still, the way i felt like cooperate treated me was.... So it's not just the costs.


Guys on 6Speed forum have found extraordinary markup of Bentley parts (reboxed Audi and VW parts really, at far higher cost). Alignment costs is insane, from Benetley service, yet the same from a VW or Audi dealer is 1/2 or less. Overall, between the crazy high depreciation and TCO it was the single worst car decision ever for me, and have had a Ferrari 308 that i tracked ~40 days a year and raced in SCCA Formula 2000 for two years so ongoing costs within a range is acceptable, yet the Bentley was in another league of crazy.

Over $15k+ a year loss. Glad i didn't buy new, as there's 50% off a Bentley that's only a few years old. Come to think of it, dollar-wise Bentley GTs might be amongst the worst depreciating cars in the industry.

For those curious, here's a 2015 Bentley GTC with 15,250 miles
Original MSRP $263,270
For sale from Bentley dealer $154,270
That's $109,000 loss in three years 15k miles.

My humble congrats to you kind sir. Nice cars and glad yours have been great. Truly hope they do well for you, for myself and guys online the story seems to be a bit different.

You'd go "Geez, that's a bit weird looking".

The EB110 was an interesting looking car and it didn't look out of place during it's time as there were some other pretty wild looking cars (e.g., Diablo), but I've always said that they Veyron was a horrible looking car. It's seriously ugly... the Pontiac Aztek of supercars.

The Chiron looks much nicer, but still ins't a great looking car IMO.
