If anyone comes across any really clean nice 2004-2006 CGT's for sale please let me know. Looking for a great car at a great price. I can be patient but it will be tough!

The math is simple, for each year back you add an inch to the shoes..

So roll on 25's and no one will notice it is an 05...

If you are like most of us, you will not be sorry. My Bentley experience just gets better and better with each passing day and I really mean that.

I was just suggesting you put some nice wheels on it.. Since you seem to care greatly about the looks...

99.9% of the peeps will not know it is an 05 over a 12.. Unless you will feel bad if the one guy (cause there always is) says OMG that is so a 2004-2011 model..

Good luck in your search.

Wouldn't bother me the slightest because 99.9% chance he's in a Honda Accord

Thanks I've been on the search!

Couple things i can give my opinion on.

I have an 05 GT, and another in my family has an 09 GTC. Outside of the keyless go, i havent noticed any major differences between the two cars when driving them.

For insurance, i went from a CLS 63 to the bentley GT and my premium only went up 10% for the year.

You wont regret the move, good luck in your search

Awesome thanks for the input. I'm searching for Bentley GT and Lamborghini Gallardo just depends which one I find first at the right deal. Whichever I get now I will get the other next. I know they are completely different worlds of vehicles but they are my two favorite cars.

Two totally different cars, if you are going for people taking your pic every day, being uncomfortable on long drives, worried about where you can take it, then go for the gallardo..

If you are looking for a great daily, that you can drive everyday.. and not really worry about it to much, go for the Bentley.

Understand they are completely different cars. Being I'm a young entertainment executive the "flash" and "image" fits perfectly for my lifestyle. The "wow" factor of the Gallardo would be a good thing for me. On the contrary I absolutely love the Bentley CGT which I think also makes a bold statement especially at my age so I'm open for either one of them. Whichever comes first at the right price for the right car!

P.S. The gallardo would be my everyday as well. Before you say you it's not a daily driver I've done PLENTY of research on it and it can be an everyday driver.

Ahhh yes, flash and stylin'... The Bentley imho plus the Bentley will be featured in the upcoming Bond movie so you'll be right in style, at the right time.

<Insert any number of Bond girl references here>
