I was going to buy a Jaguar F Type, but my Subie Powered 914 is so much fun I have decided to look at a boulevard cruiser instead of a sports car. I am looking at a 2005 Bentley Continental GT convertible with 11,000 miles. The car is perfect. Anyone have any experience with them? They are Volkswagen powered. Thanks

I've been told maintenance is a killer, hence the low price now that they have reached over 10 years old. Why is that significant? Most of the wearable parts are probably still original but wearing out, simple stuff like suspension, belts, hoses, etc, but on a car that costs a lot to keep up these things can add up quick.
It's like all the guys going out and buying the $10,000-15,000 996's right now thinking they are the smartest guy's in the world. One of these guy's was at my mechanic's last week with his new purchase, a $14,000 996. It was on the rack, my mechanic said his bill was up to $8000 and they weren't done yet. |
