Cheap Bentley Continental GT update. How much will it cost to fix? 

Thanks John, I really appreciate it! 😀👍

Thanks very much! 👍

Thank you so much. I really appreciate it! 👍

I'm happy to share in the pain Matt. That said I've spent fortunes before, but this gave me same feeling as the top of a rollercoaster, just before you drop. It's not for me. Even the £3k hit feels like a win. Back to less suicidal purchases for me!

Oi! What you doing here? Stick to your own vids!!! lol

Omg it’s like a crossover episode

I'm sure i've not long back watched a video of you giving it a big thumbs up to buy one second hand ?

@@IAN1000IAN I mentioned that in the video I did. All the ones id looked at previously were old and scruffy and didn’t do anything for me

I'm hoping that's a good thing! .. I think there's better stuff around for the money. Thanks for watching Bill.

You're welcome. Thank you for watching. 👍

Thanks again Joe! 😀👍

Must be. Thank for watching. 👍😀

Thanks Mark, much appreciated! 🙏

Thanks Ken, I appreciate it! 😀

Thanks Nick, much appreciated. I'm really glad you enjoyed it. There are a few more videos on the channel you may like.. 👍

Thanks Tiger! Fight the urge!!

@@CarTrouble I'll try :D Just bought an a5 coupe recently, so, for now, I'm good. But...

Hi David, I'm glad you're enjoying the videos. I'm happy your Bentley is treating you well, and yes, I hope it continues. The more you spend on one, the better they are obviously. My experiment to see if its worth buying a cheap one supports that.. (Its not).. Thanks for watching.. 👍

Wow, thank you! I really appreciate it.

Thanks Sammy, much appreciated!

Thanks Christian. Much appreciated.🙏

Thanks and welcome 😀

Silver Shadow - lovely. Thanks for watching! 🙂

Thanks Simon, much appreciated! 🙏

I shit you not i watched the first bentley video and im sitting in my car smoking a jay thinking to myself this guy could replace top gear so I came back to RU-vid to try and find this channel to make this comment and son of a bitch im to late.

But real talk of your ever in the states i will get you cars for videos. Capitalgains770@gmail.com

The new top gear yes 👍

i'm glad you saw the funny side... somebody unsubscribed because they paid youtube for ad free content... 😂

Didn't get to the end 'cos of the ads.

@@rcsartstudio3366 Hi, thanks for watching, you can skip the ads!

Hi Colin, I totally agree, never again!

Never buy an expensive car that's been out of the dealer network unlessit'sthat rare exampleofa knowledgeable fanatical owner. Once the maintenance isn't kept up they go to shit and they're just a waste of money.

Thanks Hugh, much appreciated! 😀👍

Glad to be of service Harry! 🙂

Thanks for the kind words, I'm really pleased you found it entertaining. 👍😀

I suppose everybody hears things differently. Makes life more interesting. Thanks for watching. 👍😀

Bullet dodged! 👍 There's better stuff out there..

It ruins the enjoyment of the car doesn't it?

Thanks very much, I really appreciate it! 👍

Thanks Glen, I'm really happy you liked it! 👍

Too many! 😂

Thank you! More coming soon.. 👍

Thanks Marvin, I'm glad you enjoyed it and found it useful.

I'm guessing you own one? 😉

Thanks very much, I'm glad you're enjoying it. Stay tuned. 👍

Hi Andy, thanks for subscribing! I'm glad you commented, a few people have commented saying that the car is no less reliable, and the parts are no more expensive than anything else. You must see this every day! I'm glad you enjoyed them, thanks for watching.

I'm really happy you're enjoying the videos. Much appreciated! 🙂

Thanks Mark, I really appreciate it! 👍

Thanks very much. And thanks for watching..😀👍

😂😀

Haha, thanks again! More coming soon..

Thanks Jamie, I really appreciate it. 🙏

Hi David, thanks for the comment. It's only my own opinion and I'm sure there are plenty of folks that disagree - that's the benefits of living in a democracy. Its always fun to debate cars as so many people have differing opinions. Also, it sounds like you found a great garage, be sure to look after them! I have no doubt that your Bentley with only 24k miles will be a minter, but I have a feeling it will have cost a bit more than the 14750 I paid for mine. I was just trying to show what you get for that price bracket, as many folks are now being tempted by the cheapest ones. Best of luck and thanks for watching. Fear not, I'll be leaving the Bentley brand alone in videos now. 🙂

I think he bought a dog deliberately to make the videos more amusing.. in which case it worked 🤣. You might find now your car is over 10 years old it's much cheaper than you think in a main dealer, they have menu prices for "Classics ". Not sure if it has to be in the system from new though. I get notes to upgrade things like the security system. So I got new 2018 ( or whatever year it was, can't remember) latest spec locking and security upgrade and two new keys for £700. Just an example. Enjoy your car.. PS, I only use mine for long trips and keep an octane booster in the boot. One small bottle per tank full in case you can't find high octane fuel.

@@ARCTCFOXMAN Yes I agree with you there about buying a dog! Put a few people off unfortunately. They are a great car to drive. My local garage that does the MOT absolutely loves it and always comment what a beautiful car it is and well looked after. Thanks for the tip about the octane booster.👍

Hi, I appreciate your comments and you're debate is always truly welcome here. But I think you might be overthinking the video a little. The social experiment premise is that now Bentleys are starting to become very cheap, is it a good idea to buy a cheap one?The answer is no - as you say, you need to spend a lot more and buy a decent one, and don't be tempted by the honey trap. It was just an experiment and a bit of fun - I wasn't buying my dream car or hoping to get £100ks worth for £15k. I know that won't happen. I'm happy you enjoyed some of the video, and as i said, you're opinions and debate are always welcome! And you also make a good point about the watchability, it probably wouldn't be anywhere near as interesting if I bought a pristine Bentley for £40k and drove around lamenting its amazingness. There's enough of that on youtube already...Many thanks for watching.👍😃

Hi David, it wasn't my intention to put anyone off for the sake of it. There are folks like you that are having a great experience with a Bentley, but there are more who are tempted by a cheap one, and need to be armed with the knowledge that if they do buy one, there could be some massive bills. If I've deterred anyone from buying a 'dog' unwititngly and being left with crushing bills, then surely that's a good thing? Anyone truly dedicated, financially capable and armed with the facts can proceed and enjoy. Thanks for watching and engaging with the debate.. 👍😃

Thank you 👍

Thank you for the nice comment Andi, much appreciated. 🙏 I'm glad you agree with selling it. It could ruin me!

Thanks very much, that's really appreciated! 👍

Good points - especially number 3! Thanks for watching! 👍

I completely agree. Thanks for watching. 🙂

Thanks Jake! 👍

I agree - those 90s Audi Coupes and cabriolets are wonderful cars. Elegant and and well built and lovely to drive. Great colours too, dragon green and my favourite, pearl white... Lucky you!

Thanks Mat, glad you enjoyed it.. 👍

Thanks Paul, much appreciated!

Thank you Stephen! Much appreciated. 🙏

Thanks Michael, I really appreciate it. 😀👍

Hi Robert, it's probably wise. 🙂

Well done on NOT playing 'hot potato' game with this car...

I couldn't do it, I wouldn't be able to sleep. However the almost £3k hit hurt a lot!!!

Thanks Phil, much appreciated! 👍

Thanks so much. I'm really glad you like it. There's more coming soon!

No problem buddy. You have avoided a large expense.. What about a 911? Or a panamera?

Thanks RJ, I'm glad you're enjoying the videos. 👍

Thanks Martin!

Engine out necessity for the starter ist correct. There are different other reasons for an engine out job too. E.g. rotten hoses on the vaccum system (not climate but low pressure system) Common problem on Bentley Continentals and GTs till manufacturing year 07. The engine is so big that you have no room to work properly, eg. at the fan system in the front. Of course thats a problem lots of 10 or 12 Zylinder cars have.

Thanks for subscribing Mick! 👍

@@CarTrouble My pleasure 👍🍻

More coming soon..

Thanks Tom, much appreciated. 👍😃

Oh, nothing too expensive I hope!

Thanks very much. I think there's better stuff around for the money.. Thanks for watching. 👍

Thanks so much, really appreciate it. 😀👍

Hi Russ, hat's interesting, a Panamera has been on my wish list for a while. What problems have you had?

No problem, I really believe there's better cars out there for your hard earned money..

Thanks Ed. Really appreciate it! 🙏

Thanks David, much appreciated. I'm glad you're enjoying it..

Hi Colin, you're welcome! Thanks for watching..😀👍

i agree, if you're going to spend that kind of money on something temperamental you may as well go Ferrari. Plus it will depreciate much slower than a Bentley. Thanks for watching..👍

@@CarTrouble A Ferrari is a nice car, but what to do with it when speed limits restrict your possibilities to drive it fast. In a Bentley you can always enjoy the ride in every condition. And what cars of Bentley and Ferrari would you compare? You bougt a Bargain Bentley. Lets say you buy an older Ferrari for 80 quit. I think you will get a proper Bentley (eg. 8 Zyls) with a sound gas consumpation too. I agree on the depreciates, but parts and labour wont be much cheaper.

I'm glad to be of service! 😃👍

I totally agree, thanks for watching. 👍😀

Its already gone I'm afraid, to a lovely chap who is comfortable with everything that needs fixing, and by all accounts quite handy with spanners...

Hi Robert, true, it wasn't the nicest, but I think there are a lot around in that condition... I just wanted buyers to be super aware...

Thanks Adam, I'm really pleased you enjoyed it! 😀👍

Thanks Zak. I hope you manage to keep the costs down.

Thanks Eric. I really appreciate it. Thanks for watching! 👍

@@CarTrouble My pleasure. Greeting from Orange County, California!

Very nice. Greetings from crappy rainy England! 😂👍

Hi Sven, I'm glad you're enjoying it, there are some real world cars coming up!

@@CarTrouble looking forward to it, keep up the humor

Thanks I' m glad you liked it. 👍

Hi Matt, many thanks! Dn't let me put you off its just my opinion. An 8 yr old one could be way better than my 15 yr old one. Thanks for watching!

I'd have to agree, my mechanic couldn't get his hands around the engine to do anything at all. I can see why the engine has to come out to work on, it's like a can of spaghetti..

I was really impressed with the Audi S8. Its worth considering. Thanks for watching..

I'm really glad you found it funny! Thanks so much for watching! 😀👍

Yes, I'd looked into that, the only trouble was it wasn't blowing warm, it would get red hot. 😳 Thanks for watching! 👍

Glad to be of service. 👍

Great comment John! I'd love to make a maserati video to put you off but I need to lick my wounds from my almost £3k loss on the Bentley first before I commit financial suicide again! I could film me setting fire to piles of money, that would be a similar video... 😂😂

@@CarTrouble Ha Ha now that would be something to see I must admit. Well at least I won't be buying a Bentley any time soon. Lol Anyway keep up the good work & I look forward to seeing your next video.

THanks fo rthe tips, but I've now sold the Bentley, and swallowed the almost £3k loss. But I still feel relieved! 👍

So true.

Thanks very much. I'm glad you enjoyed it. 👍

Totally agree. Thank you, its really appreciated !👍

I can't quite remember, I think it £11 or 12k. I tried to block it out... it hurts to think about it..

Thanks Austin! I'm really glad you enjoyed it.Please don't tell me you want to buy it. Didn't I do a very good job of putting you off? 😂

@@CarTrouble No you didn't. I have always fancied a Bentley but it always depends on the price 👍👍

Ha, brilliant. Thats a bargain..

I've heard is less likely a leak and more likely electronic. Either way its full dashboard and maybe more removed, and no guarantee of finding the fault for a manageable amount. Thanks for watching! Much appreciated.. 😀
