HI,

I'm looking at a 2004 CGT and a 2007 FS. The price difference is only $10k. Both cars are from the same dealer.


2007 FS:
$70k
23k miles
1 owner
loaded options
all services done at dealer

2004 CGT:
$60k
30k miles
loaded options
waiting for more info about owners and service record


I personally prefer the CGT but the FS seems like a very good deal ($60k vs $70k). FS has more utility value because it has 5 seats. However, FS looks very boxy compare to CGT...

I already have a e550 coupe and a c63. The c63 lease is expiring next month so I'll be out without a sedan. I'm also in mid-20 so FS might be a little bit too much?

Is there any compelling reason I should forgone the 07 FS and go with the 04 CGT?

 

2007 without a doubt. The 2004 CGT had some growing pains...

 

Wait till the lease expires and if no newer CGT pops up then buy the FS.

 

definitely the Flying Spur,04 GTs were the first ones and have since been greatly improved.

 

Buy a 70k CGT. IMHO.

 

get the GT! i have an 04 for over 1 year. now has 47,000 miles. i have replaced front struts and 3rd brake light(both standard bentley maintenance) and no other problems.

 

X2 Both are Bentley's but very different in statement of style and purpose.

 

same 04 cgt. running near two year.daily car.standard maintenance. sometime electric problem.cos the battery low voltage. charged now all power re-built. thx for my friend jc_333 borrow me the charger. this is great car.

 

Thanks all. I just got the news that the FS has been sold. I'll guess I might pick up the 04 CGT as my daily beater.


How much should I offer? Does 5k off sound reasonable?

 

Well, i know a triple black really nice 06 GT is out there for $75 asking at Bentley Boston. Am just sayin'

 

60k seems pretty fair for a 2004 with relatively low miles. However by running a quick search I found a 2005 with 27,000 miles asking $56k. I'd keep looking for a newer one but if you are partial towards the 04' at your dealer I'd use these comps as negotiating tools. Good luck!

 

Thanks again for the tips on pricing!

I found a 05 with Mulliner package. What extra does Mulliner provide? I read on this forum that it gives you the Bentley logo stitches on your seat and from chrome/aluminum parts.


The one of the biggest reason that I'm drawn to this 04 CGT is price. After doing some search on this forum, CGT seems to be inexpensive to maintain, reasonably reliable, and can be driven in snow.


I have been hunting for a Gallardo Spyder now for several months but haven't found the right car yet. I just need a different car to satisfy my need while continue my search on the Gallardo.

 

The Mulliner package allows individuals to completely customize their Bentley order. Aesthetically, it's usually an exterior wheel upgrade, diamond patterned seats, diamond patterned door panel inserts, and I think it has a slightly different shift ****. But if you did a custom order you would be able to make many more customized changes.

 

I have 07 Mulliner instead of diamond stich door panels i have piano black inserts. The wheels are much nicer for sure. I wouldnt get a B without Mulliner : )

I have 37k miles akmost sold it for $80k but decuded to keep cuz i love it.
