anyone own a 04 / 05 / 06 conti gt ?

thinking of changing to one next year looking for some real world ownership advice, realistically its not going to have warranty due to age etc looking at £40k - £55k

are they as reliable as there big owners ?

i loved the rs6 so presume this will be a big fast cruiser too

i presume a lot of parts are vw audi parts so as long as you can match the part numbers up parts will be ok priced.

yearly service i presume wont be silly 1k - 1.5k ?

any major problems to look out for?

cheers

so it seems the early ones have the same sort of problems.

coil packs are easy to change so really only purchase cost if wrong, tyre sensors may be a bit different story.

apart from routine servicing hopefully shouldnt have any major problems, i presume they are more VAG than Bentley.

cheers
