A few questions

Hi,

I am looking into a 06-07 Bentley FS but I have a few questions I hope fellow enthusiasts can help me out with.

1. Around how much should I offer the dealer for a 06 with around 15K miles on it? Standard color/options with an asking price of around 90K.

2. How much do you think the car will be worth in 3 years? I will be getting into an open ended lease and residual will be at around 40K when the contract matures. Will I be able to flip it for more than that so I can recoup some of the lease payments back?

3. Is there any significant difference between say, a 06 to a 09 model?

Much appreciated. Hopefully I will belong to the same group in the very near future. Cheers!

Hello there I am fairly new here so may not be able to help much bit I can give an opinion and you know what they say about those.

1. Check the car fax to see if there are any issues or crashes. 90k does not sound like a bad price but I'd start at 80 and see how the move your direction.

2. I thought the residual and the value were supposes to be close to the same??? I might be terribly ignorant about that but I would expect the car to be worth a bit more than 40k after only three years of normal depreciation.

3. I am sure there is. I think there were some computer upgrades??

Good luck and hope you have a chance to enjoy a Bentley ride.

Come on guys LMK am I anywhere close to the truth?

Sure, start at 80k, and settle around 85k perhaps?


2. How much do you think the car will be worth in 3 years?
Approximately 60k depending on the miles you put on her.


3. Is there any significant difference between say, a 06 to a 09 model?
Various computer upgrades includes DVD versus CD-based GPS and of course Bluetooth enhancements. The basic mechanical core of the car is virtually the same as i recall.

Hope this helps.
