Buying a Bentley flying spur

Hello members,

i wanted to start this thread to ask a few questions.

I wanted some opinions on if I should lease a Bentley and get cpo warranty on it or if I should get a non cpo Bentley.

Have 2014+ flying spurs been reliable? Should I opt to spend the extra cash and get the cpo warranty and lease one or should I just buy non cpo and have cash on hand if anything breaks down?

and if things do break down, what would they be specifically and what’s the cost to fix at Bentley.

below is what I was quoted if I wanted to purchase the cpo warranty1yr – 5,995 plus tax.

2yrs – 11,595 plus tax.

3yr – 16,995 plus tax.


thanks for sharing

Interesting query. But if at the end of the day (3 yrs or whatever) you're turning the car back to the lessor, you don't have to be concerned with the "service records" or history as would normally be the case for ownership. It would seem to me, and I have no crystal ball, but a budget of $17,000+ over 3 yrs for repairs should be way more than needed. Naturally, caveats for excessive use or poor initial mechanical condition apply.

I'm not aware of any inherent issues with 2014+ spurs, such as the dreaded vacuum lines, but maybe others are....

I'm thinking a 'CPO' certifies the condition of the car at the time of sale/lease, and a secondary warranty applies for future issues. Usually CPO autos have a higher price than non-CPO and are potentially less risky.

The quoted prices seem really high. I don't have a car in your gen but I think most would agree that on a whole these cars are very reliable. A good PPI might give you the same peace of mind.
