any known car issues w/ cgt 06'-07'?

i am planning on getting a 06' or 07' soon and just wondering about any known issues.

what are the typical service costs? true cost of ownership?

thnx

 

I would look for a car with factory warranty remaining. Bottom line is they will fix just about anything wrong besides normal wear tear items. Also all services are free. Remember if you don't buy from Bentley you cannot extend the warranty you will just have whatever is remaining on existing warranty.

If you can't get that, then a car with an extended warranty or CPO certified from Bentley dealer would be the next best thing. The limited warranty does not include cosmetic problems and you must pay for your own service (oil, etc).

The last would be to buy an out of warranty car from a non-bentley party. You cannot get any extended warranty on these vehicles and so you just pray nothing goes wrong. This is the cheapest route but I personally wouldn't want to own a twin turbo car out of warranty.

I haven't had any major issues with my 06.

BTW Bentley changed their extended warranty qualifications. You must:
- be the original owner with at least 31 days factory warranty remaining or
- buy from a certified Bentley dealer

All those 05 and 06 will be price differentiated now based on this extended warranty prerequisite. Bentley did this to protect their dealers and also stabilize price.

 

As a former Bentley technician I will tell you that for the most part these cars are great and have almost no issues ,that means alot coming from someone who sees all the "broken cars" . Bentley spends alot of money training there technicians and they have an amazing suport system linked to Bentley Co. . you wont regret getting one of these gems.
