when it has 90k miles on the clock?
my completely uneducated guess would be high 30s to low 40s wholesale if the car is in good shape. That’s on the upper end of the mileage scale for a 2012 Bentley. Dealer price in the 50s.
i think that is about right. kbb comes up with a dealer price of $55k, and i am taking $20k off for wholesale, and get to $35k. there are no comparables out there with that many miles so hard to tell, but i think that is about right for the first year of the second iteration of the gt, now an 8 year old car.
Manheim $50,300, recent auction results all over the place even $86k for an 8500 miler, 57,500 for 69k mi.
i went to the local bentley dealer to ask their opinion. their first statement was that they would not accept it as a trade in - or they would simply price it to go straight to auction. then they said 35-45 depending on other conditons. interestingly, they said that this was the age and mileage that people unload since all the emissions equipment has to be warrantied for 7 years/80k miles, so at this point, these components usually start failing. i guess there is a price for everything.....
i went to the bentley dealer in naples on saturday and asked the same question.... first answer was $35-40. then they reiterated that they would not take it in trade and simply price it straight to auction - ie $35k so that seems to be consensus now. their other comment was that at this age and mileage the air suspension starts to fail.....$3k per corner.... not fun.
Car and Driver did a good piece about a year ago about the values of these older luxury cars (like the Continental GT). They brought up a great point: While you can buy a 2005 CGT for new Honda Accord money now, you need to remember that in the car's mind, it's still a $200K car, and requires the parts and maintenance of a $200K car, NOT a $30K car. The classic "I can afford the car but I can't afford to keep it running"
I am considering purchasing a new Flying spur and likley will trade in my 13' w12 GT with 19K miles and have been quoted 75K.
