The Bentley Continental GT is one of the best luxury cars money can buy.
The British brand’s marquee vehicle has long been considered one of the grand tourer kings.
In a recent video, one UK YouTuber bought a Continental GT for just $23,000.
And now, he’s wondering if he made a mistake.
YouTuber buys bargain Bentley
Calvin, from Luton, UK, runs a YouTube channel called Calvin’s Car Diary.
Recently, he uploaded a video of a Continental GT.
But it isn’t just any Continental GT – it’s an absolute bargain basement Bentley.
The story started when a seller brought Calvin his all-black Continental.
They told the YouTuber that the 14-year-old car has never even had a servicing advisory.
After having some discussions on the price, Calvin lifts up the hood to inspect the engine.
The 6.0-liter, W12 engine appears to be in pristine condition.
The seller explains that he’s only driven around 6-700 miles since he’s owned it.
He also claims that it has been looked at by a Bentley specialist.
Apparently, the car had a problem with the steering rack hose, which cost the seller around $3,000.
Calvin takes car for a test drive
Calvin and the seller then head out for a test drive in the black Bentley.
Along the way, the YouTuber and the current owner further discuss the car.
He explains that he was insistent on getting all of the appropriate work done.
Calvin said that he likes the idea of getting his hands on the car.
Although he has no idea whether he’ll drive it himself or sell it on.
Ultimately, Calvin agreed to the sale, and they settled on a price of just $23,000.
Interestingly, the YouTuber ends his video by noting that he sold the Bentley Continental GT immediately.
For a profit, we imagine – talk about a bargain Bentley.
