My 2013 needed a new black conv top. Prices were astronomical and the guy that does my boat canvas replaced it for $800.00 and it's been on ever since. GR8 SHARE!

[@annebrookover6038]

Wow

[@albertedmonds223]

U are very realistic about the cars ESPECIALLY AS A SALESMAN. Honest and genuine with your words and u don't see that often. Keep it up bro

[@fredvandevelde4576]

I have a Bentley continental 2006 greatest car I have every owned! Still have a Porsche and MB for running around every day. The Bentley is for special days.

[@robertallan3028]

What a fantastic review! These are exactly the answers to questions that all prospective Bentley buyers should be aware of. It's so refreshing to see how honest you appear in this video. Really well done !!!

[@presidentialautodelray]

Thank you so much for the feedback!

[@michaelhorton9583]

Excellent comparison and review. I just bought a 2006 Coupe with 21,000 miles and love it. Also have a Boxster for the other end of the fun spectrum. Your comments on the weak points were very realistic and reassuring compared to the hysteria on many videos about the vacuum tubes and suspension. Will be putting in a surround view camera system and updated infotainment system with CarPlay etc for just under $7,000 which is cheaper than going for a post 2012 to get the same thing, although of course it won't increase the sale price too much when I decide to sell it. However, the car should outlast me as I am getting well down the other side of the age hill.

[@jackwood2328]

That is PRO presentation.

[@presidentialautodelray]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@realasscracka]

@@presidentialautodelray does the Conv Top issues apply to the 2022 gtc

[@presidentialautodelray]

@@realasscracka Its too early to tell since it is a new design. I'd hope it is fixed!

[@genehogan6824]

As a 4 time Bentley owner you have hit almost every issue. EGT sensors,And Servo flap motors.also need to be included.

[@presidentialautodelray]

Thank you!

[@prettyboibenz]

Would u recommend GTC as daily driver?

[@douganderson189]

The best Bentley review EVER……thank you so much….

[@thebestisyettocome4114]

Seen video in 6/24 I own since new the Flying Spur. 2007, with 30K miles. I don't recall any issues with the car. Still own and maintenance is the key to maintaining any automobile. When you buy these automobiles new or used you know you have to put money in them. This is not the type of car you can let things go on. I never done that. Thank you. I live in Clearwater Beach Florida.

[@mntrader2]

Awesome video. Honest, genuine and very helpful. I might by a car from this guy.

[@presidentialautodelray]

Thank you! I appreciate the comment!

[@Steve-cc6xc]

@@presidentialautodelray ive had a few Bentley ‘s ( GT and GTC) . The core thing in the pre 2014 models is the air suspension because there are always issues around 70k miles and they are only replaced in pairs There are also issues with the suspension bushes , radiator, hoses , rear brake light , key ( gbp 1500 pounds for a key lol ) the electrics and audio system my last repair bill from Bentley on a GTC which had the air suspension changed was a cool GBP 🇬🇧 pounds 18, 000 ( including main dealer service and labour and parts ) …. as the left air suspension unit went and they replaced both …… i didn’t get any issues though with the gtc roof over 4 years so happy with that but you do need deep pockets to own a bentley and correct you need an aftermarket “ super car “ warrenty….

[@zdon8362]

One of the most comprehensive car videos I have EVER seen.

[@mrmags1708]

[@renewableenergysolutions90]

Thank you .Dealer took $8k off the price because of the suspension air bags. It tured out they were not bad, like i told him. Bought a 2012 GT with 46k for $32k

Many thanks. I'm planning on buying a Flying Spur to replace my Panamera 4S. I'm surprised that maintenance costs seems to be cheaper!!!

[@cryptohighway4642]

I'm a car guy, I truly appreciate this video.

[@Tracertme]

Really good concise detail talking like only a dealer who handles lots of these specific models… and clearly a good place to buy given he will have done all these checks and a few others for you. . Top job review thanks..

Thanks dude, most of all I now know how the gens/facelifts went and also the three different versions

[@randyvfromtheperch]

Good review. FYI - on 2006 and later with the iPod cable off the CD changer, you can get a Bovee 1000 unit that simply plugs into that cable and gives plug and play Bluetooth streaming for under $80.

[@barsallo1]

There is an LED Headlights upgrade ;( the brand : DEPO) and audio upgrades too!

Would u recommend GTC as a daily driver?

[@2steaksandwiches665]

Fantastic review if you can call if that all around. Thank you for the information on the convertible top. That’s insane to spend that amount of money to change the top. I mean I get it’s a Bentley but still… I still think the convertible looks kind of ugly in the back with top up. This car looks best as the hardtop couppe

[@camara4473]

Thanks so much for this Video. I currently have and S class and want to move up to Bentley. I wasn't sure about what to look for in a used Bentley. THANKS

[@iainrobilliard2969]

Great videos! I wish you'd make more. You also look like Liev Schreiber who plays Ray Donavan ... a younger version, of course!

[@jean-claudemorin7377]

You’ve given the absolute best info to any Bentley buyer. I happened to have an excellent 2000 Arnage. Would one day upgrade to 2008-2009 or an older Muslanne at a great price.

[@presidentialautodelray]

The Mulsanne is one of my all time favorites! Highly recommend

@Mr Morris lol I definitely have it , I have 4 streams of income totaling well into the 6figure range , stay blessed and enjoy your Honda Civic

[@martinm3422]

Interesting review. I wonder why the keys should be so expensive, the price list shows something around 500-600 Euros for 2 keys and around 650 for 3 (with valet) We replaced a set of two for around 500 Euros some years ago. Compare this to my Smart 453, they wanted 320 Euros for 1 key at the Merc Dealer (incl. programming). I realized a dream two weeks ago and bought a convertible 2009 with Mulliner specs. I knew that maintenance is expensive but do yourself a favour, dont look on the part and repair-costs cause you wont buy one afterwards- it ist really depressing. Iam a guy with normal income...and a little passion.

[@paulglaser649]

Excellent Video! You are a knowledgeable, honest and decent fellow and I would certainly buy a car from you

[@presidentialautodelray]

Honestly is the best policy.

[@melpitts6707]

Thank you for making this video! I’ve been considering purchasing a used 2007 flying spur with only 30k on it but I was worried about the cost of repairs and maintenance. Now I know exactly what I’ll be getting into if and when I decide to buy it. I appreciate you! 😀

[@presidentialautodelray]

I'm happy to found the video useful! Good luck!

[@c.rincon7145]

Great presentation!! Very informative. Convertible is not claustraphobic compared to the coupe. Just my preference.

[@palmz4u]

Are you kidding? The coupe isn’t claustrophobic at all.

[@incog99skd11]

Actually you can buy the key blanks much cheaper online and program them yourself with software you can buy online (Ross-Tech). You can also source Audi parts much cheaper than the Bentley counterparts.

[@presidentialautodelray]

You're right, we have tried some aftermarket blanks for the older models, but found they feel much cheaper, lighter, and don't hold up as long as an original Bentley key. And LOTS of Audi parts will crossover for these cars and that alone will save you a ton of money.

[@wesleyb5517]

To pile on the praise great job and first ive heard anyone talk extended warranty. I think that piece of mind is going to allow so much more joy owning and driving it. Mulliner package gotta look for that one about bought doesn't have it but manynother upgrades like dme tune niam sound massage aeats 21 chrome now not sure

[@drewsneed1670]

sitting here watching and im like wait...thats presidential auto in delray lol. i didnt see the channel name. my family is a delray beach legacy family weve been here since the lincoln settlement. great video! im shopping out a bentley currently and want a w12 but also dont want an older model.

[@presidentialautodelray]

[@WrestlingErnestHemingway]

Great info here. If only I could afford to buy a used one & afford the expenses to fix any problems. Bentley makes the absolute best looking sedans ever. So, because I can't afford to fix used ones possible problems, I will just save $$$ and buy a used 2023 Genesis G90 with low miles for like $25-$35,000 in a couple of years. After all the Genesis G90 is basically Bentley's breakout to manufacturing their style.

[@robvolt8293]

Great video, any service shops in Houston Texas that you would recommend?

[@kerryh2096]

I've been looking at the 2015 bentley flying spur and this video was really helpful. Which warranty do you recommend are going to cover the most comprehensive components? I had a bad experience when I owned my alfa romeo stelvio and it came with a dealer warranty that didn't cover the electricals. smh I sold it after 2 years. Im younger so I didnt think to ask certain questions.

Around 2014 Bentley upped the transmission from 6 speed to 8 speed. Did that make any difference in mountain driving or were gears #7&8 just for Autobahn's insane speed I would never drive?

[@Leo-bl5ix]

Ver rare to see an ( honest ) salesman . Than you

[@randyvfromtheperch]

You mention in the Aston Martin Rapide video to pull a specific fuse to keep the exhaust doors open for a more throaty exhaust note. The Bentley GT has a similar system (I own a 2009 Mulliner GT). Is there a corresponding fuse for that system on the Bentley? I know the Bentley exhaust is controlled by a vacuum system, so maybe not?

[@presidentialautodelray]

Sorry for the late response. I believe you are correct they are vacuum controlled in the Bentley.

[@randyvfromtheperch]

@@presidentialautodelray lol guess you don't read comments much.
