Made the decision to buy one!

Hello - This past week I made the decision to purchase a Bentley Continental GT. Now I just need to find the car. I am looking to spend a max of $70K but would like to stay in the $65K range if possible. Ideally I would like a Blue exterior with saddle interior. Under 50K miles would be preferred.

Any idea where I can find this car in NJ? I am trading in a 2009 Audi A5 3.2 so it would need to be a dealer that could work with me on this. I have financing and cash lined up so I am ready to pull the trigger and I am not against driving 500 miles or more for the right car.

Can anyone help suggest a person or place?

Thank you.
Ryan

Check online dealers' websites and\or call them. You seem to have a specific color combo in mind so it might take time to find one. Just be sure it has been properly serviced and check for known problems (see search engine as there are threads accordingly).

Probably the best advice is History, History, History. If the dealer does not have it just do what I did is use the CarFax to call the dealers in the areas yourself. I have found the only cheap fix on a Bentley is the key fob battery. Best of luck to you and they are wonderful cars.

Thumbs up New GT

Thank you for asking. I purchased a 2007 Bentley Continental GT Mulliner in Dark Sapphire with Magnolia and blue interior. It had 21,800 miles and I got it from a Bentley dealer in Edison NJ.

I took delivery on Christmas Eve and have been loving it. it inspired me to make some major changes in my garage. I dumped all my garage and things I have been holding on to for years. This week I am having a heater installed and will add a commercial tile floor next month or in March.

My biggest problem is the lack of bluetooth support for the iPhone 6 and streaming music. I am looking into the Neo Car Audio solution however I have been unable to get anyone on the phone to answer some questions.

I hear you about the garage. My third stall used to be a woodworking shop and now it is an epoxy covered showroom.

I think even the new GT's are behind the cutting edge for electronic technology.

The Neo seems to be the same as the Dice MediaBridge, which is available at: Amazon at


Amazon.com : Audiovox AMBR-1503-AVW - MediaBridge with Bluetooth for AUDI and Volkswagen : Vehicle Wireless Audio Cell Phone Car Kits : Electronics Amazon.com : Audiovox AMBR-1503-AVW - MediaBridge with Bluetooth for AUDI and Volkswagen : Vehicle Wireless Audio Cell Phone Car Kits : Electronics


PS: What questions do you have as am VERY familiar with all three solutions to 'hack' into the stock Bentley system (first Dice basic unit, then the Dice Media Bridge and of course the official Bentley version).
