The costs of luxury life - Repair bill on my Bentley Continental

[@LamboDadd]

Oh man!! I appreciate you brother!! Surgery recovery is going well 🙏🙏🙏

[@clifbradley]

Bentleys from that Era also suffer from electrical issues and some of those parts aren't made anymore. A lot of the Continental GT's in that era suffer from turbo failure caused by secondary oil pump failing ever so slightly. Not enough to trigger a warning, but the turbos get starved of oil and then they gone. Ask the Car Wizard.

[@iLoveBoysandBerries]

That's only 2011 and earlier models... For flying spur it's 2013 and earlier. 2014 and newer are absolute gems

[@ShogunHull]

Thanks for that tip.

[@byee]

@@iLoveBoysandBerriesare they reliable? and do they cost a lot for maintenance? i’m thinkin of gt 2013. 150km

[@jurgeenhandazola3006]

Most likely you mean the V8 Continentals, the W12 Continentals are reliable, the downside is the lack of room to work on them, require to much labor for anything simple.

[@kevin-qc7zv]

​@@iLoveBoysandBerries2012 was the refresh model

[@rontribble414]

That car you can buy Audi parts for and the Volkswagen parts for when you go to the Bentley dealer they will charge you up for the same part so do some research on that because I had a similar problem with mine but my mechanic knew that you can get Audi and Volkswagen parts for the suspension. Also get an alignment done at Audi. It’s around $400 Bentley always pretty much doubles the price of the same thing, I think it’s the Audi a eight and a Volkswagen phaeton that you can get parts off of. If you do your research you will find that and it will save you a lot of money. I guarantee it enjoy the car bro.

[@alfonsocastellano1993]

absolutely

[@StefanLewis]

Mad respect for the interior color matched fruit leather 🤌

[@Burlacher]

🤣🙏

[@jackofalltrades4627]

Bro. The control arms are only $650. You would be supprised how easy they are to change. They look just like an Audi A4 arms. Ive done those before.

[@ajsrolls-roycegarage4714]

I’ve had a Bentayga, flying spur and the GT so far to maintain and repair for customers. They are such an awesome vehicle and feel very lucky to have my job to touch them every day

[@lonestartex1]

How is the Bentagya reliability? what years did you work on?

[@williamriley-jones]

One thing I also watch out for is the trunk mechanisms wear out eventually and those parts are not made anymore

[@realgenericuser9169]

Car Wizard is awesome, but he really sent so many people off a plank on that. The trunk motor needs two gears and they cost $65 (plastic like oem) or $100 (aluminum).

[@joeclark7298]

My granddad had that issue on his Azure and Flying Spur (both cars from around the 2003-2006 era)

[@landon0823]

I take mine to the dealer to get diagnosed properly which they charge 100s for and then order the parts myself and let my mechanic buddy put them on. It’s a expensive car but it’s still a CAR so most any mechanic can fix them long as they know WHAT they are fixing.

[@rossmontreal4570]

Thanks for your content and you didn’t waste my time and I enjoy your honesty and you keep it real for us regular guys!!! ♥️♥️♥️

[@PhilipSamuelson]

If you do a lot of it yourself, which is easier than some may think on a Bentley, they get far cheaper. I own and maintain an Aston 4.7 V8V and I likely make far less than you do, I'm just a one employee small business owner. But I do all my maintenance myself, so it's quite affordable. More expensive than a Honda Accord, still, no doubt. But far cheaper than overpaying someone else to do remedial tasks for you.

[@callesolberg5446]

Big fan from Oslo Norway 🇧🇻 U are almost the only KZbinr with a education and still the most humble guy here..Thx for good contents Burlacher!

[@adambeatty6995]

Struts are super common to go out on those cars, the headliners start sagging all the time and the dash leather will shrink, so make sure to park in the shade!

[@watsonanthony8438]

Struts lol. I thought it was air suspension 😂😂

[@kevin-qc7zv]

​@@watsonanthony8438it's air suspension, my friend has one

[@1nerv]

My man, Burlacher the content is getting better and better, you seem a lot more comfortable these days. I've been a subscriber for a long time, damn near the beginning, and I'm loving your growth brother! Keep up the good work!

[@bling1634]

Bro you didn’t waste my time I enjoy your vids and how you keep it real

[@sjm5482]

$2100 for tires? Where's the shop getting them from, Tiffany's? 😂 $1300 puts you in a fine set of touring tires. Upper control arm parts are $250-350, labor 2 hours max. Tire pressure issues is probably the TPMS module, cheap, easy fix. The Module is located right behind the rear seat, driver's side, but DON'T expect a new module to work, need to match the serial number from a used unit, otherwise the car will not talk to it without Bentley programming the module and even then, no guarantee. Great looking car, perhaps the finest modern GT on the planet, albeit, newer ones have shamed the earlier versions, though at astronomical prices of like $300K. Also, one should own their own oil company to afford the gas... 😊 Enjoy, big man!

[@BibTheBoulderTheOriginalOne]

I am a former multiple Bentley owner. They are what I refer to as "three year cars". Or, put another way, only worth having if you can run to buying a new one because after the warranty runs out you really are 'on your own' and sadly they are not generally reliable cars.

[@aaasss8894]

you did the right thing by gettting a Bentley. you are a CEO and you deserve a classy car like that. Just space out the payments and try not to buy any more new cars anytime soon and all will be well! Keep crushing it, like you say!

[@andybiscuits]

When you made the first video about possibly buying the Continental, I referred to a video stating that the Continental GT was rated as the worst car for dependability/maintenance

[@vindicatedrascal]

The old "subframe bushings" hustle

[@jasonsimpkins9069]

I still love the shoe aspect of the videos. I like the more rare pairs but I watch everything. And opening day, man nothing beats that. Lol...👟👟Show

[@potatomucher1223]

Im not sure how many people would be interested but I would love to see a sneaker tour, I love shoes as much as cars and I always love seeing what new shoes you cop

[@YotaguyJosh]

We need a Burlacher/Hoovie collab. That would be hilarious for sure.

[@pbrascal37]

There have been some already, Hoovie stopped by with his million mile diesel. Burlacher went to Kansas and bought the old yellow H2 hummer

[@Bassprofan1]

Love the videos!! Keep Crushing it ✌️

[@jerrymorrill6478]

The Hoovies Garage opening was perfect!!!

[@phaselola]

Best of luck to everyone, keep crushing it! 🤙🏽

[@ATVHOBO]

Just a question why didn't you buy an aftermarket warranty on this car? It would take care of some of your repair costs. Or any future major cost.

[@msway836]

Do you get that at the Dealership he bought it from or in the Marketplace?

[@ATVHOBO]

@@msway836 dealerships sell it or there are warranty companies you can purchase from as long as the sale is with in 30 days of the purchase of warranty.

[@watsonanthony8438]

Why don’t you buy it brand new 😅😅😅

[@c8miamicarclub]

Had savini 22 on my bentley caued susp issues.put the original rims and tires. I wraped my bentley pearl satin white.avery wrap.i would do the same color would look nice with that red interior.

[@jaomwtoptd]

Another video where the bentley is the hook, but its really about promoting this man.

[@craigcampbell1843]

This is the only channel I watch that makes me happy I’m 5’8”

[@mraustinfelt]

I love your content so much, Nick! Keep it up!:)

[@Andrew-cm5tc]

I've seen a lot of horror stories about buying a used Bentley. There was one where something was broken and the company that used to make that part (not Bentley) went out of business and then the newer models used a different company. So in the end he couldn't get the part new. I'd say just get a Lexus. Take care of it and drive it until the wheels fall off.

[@KettlesVids]

You are never a waste of time! Keep crushing it!

[@slickhyatte]

The old Service Manager in me was like, Why is the shop soo quiet. Did he clear out the shop to make the video. We are not making money. Lol

[@hadrienlf23]

Front wishbone and strut tower are 30k miles parts. I drive mine spiretively on small roads, i change them every 2 oil change... consumables... on another level.

[@oidize]

Burlacher Be Ballin !

[@clifbradley]

I'm sensing either the Rose Acanthus wrap, or the closest to it which would probably be a matte Rose, or matte satin chrome pink. Tron AutoLab going to be hooking you up. But the wrap have to. match those shoes you showed us.

[@alverayan4032]

Dude imo those wheels fit the Bentley perfect lowkey think you should just fix them up and keep it on there

[@carculturenation2166]

wouldve been way more awesome to see you buy a brand new 2022 gt500 and instead of repairs you couldve put a whopping $10k into it and got a e85 tune exhaust supercharger pulley tires and ported supercharger and boom you have 1200hp and can run mid to.low 9s in the 1/4mile not to mention stock they get you around a track within a second or faster than cars like a Ferrari f8 tributo Lamborghini huracan evo and porsche gt3rs. So Supercar that costs mustang money to fix if need be. Hellcat redeye makes more hp but yet loses to stock gt500 and hellcat couldnt take a turn if your life depended on it. oh and couldve got one starting at 70k or carbon fiber track pack for 85-95k

[@oskarr3385]

Yeah... Bentley offers little to none content for his youtube channel and is a massive money sink. This purchase would make sense only if he was a carwizard who fixes cars himself

[@TheMrbamido]

Nailed that "hoovies garage" intro you did 😂

[@Austin_Wingfield]

And just like that we're back baby

[@alanna3913]

I saw the title and was typing a Hoovies garage comment but the first sentence out of your mouth beat me to it. You don’t buy a Bentley anything unless you have unlimited funds or a Car Wizard!

[@chiefordnance]

2012 is the problem

[@artvanklaveren7463]

Nick, Have you tried to refurbish the rims and mayby paint then in a different color ?? It can save you !!

[@alanblasczyk1779]

You do deserve the car Nick !

[@makoshark69x96]

amazing hoovie impression

[@alan19191]

Love the vid. Alot less time was wasted on talking and more time just getting it done.

[@dannynobregamadeiraandgami4978]

I love all cars and car community

[@benweeconsultwith5812]

Burl. Here's the playbook. Specialty is account. This skills will be great plan and structure. Develop into channel. This can be folding two times. With a money sometimes turmoil. This burlacher can succeed! Try to show the KZbin that burlacher channel goes strong and plays the excellent service. This will include a show the path of not lambo not any non-burlacher. Put a cargurus and lets plan! Choose the 3 vehicles for the increase viewer channel. Lets share the cars and prove you will stay with a traditional channel we all enjoy.

[@ShogunHull]

Thanks for giving me the prices. I'm about to buy a 2012 Continental GT myself. 49K miles. But it looks pristine to me.

[@joesmith9216]

dude...that INTERIOR!!!!!!!!!! wow

[@ariescustom]

Perfect spec Bentley. I knew he couldn't just leave it be. Watch it become a tacky-looking shitbox in 3...2...1...

[@kevinblank3844]

I have the same thing going on in my a4 same tire interesting. great video!!

[@michaelcambridge1542]

Aside from the repairs, it looks awesome.

[@RG-di8ni]

Do a reverse Stradman, wrap the Bentley a cool titanium white with purple chrome rims.

[@andrewgibb8846]

I have questions if you don’t mind: How did those rims get so mangled? What tires did they price you the second time? How much is the wrap? $2000? What would the vehicle be worth after you’ve completed all the repairs? How is $7000 a lot of money when you have a Hellcat? 🤣 The seats in that Bentley are probably $20,000 Anyhow thank you for sharing a glimpse into the world of luxury cars 👍🍻

Beautiful Bentley but the aftermarket wheels are so ugly. The silver color makes it look 10 years older than it already is. Get some more modern looking black wheels.

[@amerrasheed3986]

Just wondering... if the 3k dollars for the control arms including labour or just for the parts?

[@Next2Null]

Burlacher Jokes on other channels about needing specially made merch cause he's such a Unit of a Man. I'm curious if he needs specially fit shoes as well XD

[@timcasey5835]

Bentley should insist on vetting all used owners and block the sale if exhaust mods or wrapping in garish colours are planned - have some taste and leave it as original.

[@trentcastle6922]

Great video as always!
