Expensive vs Cheap: Bentley Continental GT's
Change your car with Carwow: https://bit.ly/Change-Your-Car-16-01
When it comes to luxurious cars, it doesn’t get much better than the Bentley Continental GT.
The problem is, they aren’t exactly the cheapest cars around! A new Continental GT Speed costs from around £237,000, and the car that we have here (with a couple of options added) costs close to £300,000!
So what if you want to get your hands on a luxurious car but don’t have that sort of money lying around? Well, you’d look for a second-hand option, of course. And that’s just what Mat’s done for this video!
Mat and the team have done some browsing online and found a Continental GT from 2006 for just over £10,000 - cheaper than the carbon ceramic brakes on the new Bentley! The question is - for such a low price, is it all a bit too good to be true?
Well in this video, Mat’s going to put the two cars to the test. From their design and interior quality to putting it through a full professional inspection, Mat will reveal whether it’s actually possible to pick up such a luxurious car on the cheap!
The question is, if you had a spare £10,000 lying around, would you be willing to risk it on a second-hand Bentley? Let us know in the comments!
