How much lower will they drop...???!!!
Discussion
Massive amount of car for the money, even when new.
Loads of them about so not particularly exclusive but if you want a big 2 ton car which can carry 4 people in absolute luxury at 200 there arent that many alternatives.
Only problem is I think their image will worsen as they get cheaper. They seem to be a bit of a second hand car dealer / wannabe gangsta car.

Bentley Continental £63K??? for a 2004! This is now seriously becoming a tasty motor - recon it will drop to £55K by Xmas? When will they level out? Or is £50-60K too much for a 3-4 year old VW in disguise? Debate.
You can buy a 10 year old Turbo R for less than 20k and there are far fewer of those than Continental GT'sOnly going to go down.
Mark.
just bought a 2004 black/black conti gt 2 weeks ago as a daily driver.
20k miles, 1 owner, paid 75k.
i'm really worried about what this thing is gonna cost me in depreciation over the next 3/4 years. this is the sort of car that has no price floor at all in my book - this could drop like a stone.
but it's a stunning car - practical 2+2, supposedly reliable and cheap to service and run (petrol aside), and a far more appropriate image than a ferrari.
but it's gonna be expensive to own - if i can get out for a 40 grand hit in 3/4 years time i reckon i'll have had a relatively lucky escape.
a new aston v8 sports-shift (also was on my shortlist) would probably cost me at least as much over the period, and the bentley's just a much, much better car (i've driven several of both).

They will keep falling and falling one day they will be £25K, but thats a decade or so away.......buy it, drive it and enjoy it, you only live once
So in othe words £75k today, £25k in 10 years, that means £50k depreciation over 10 years = £5k per annum. Thats fantastic! A very good buy.markbe said:
