Or just buy an old one and change the grilles to the later chrome ones to pretend it's a later model. Good way to be a pretentious BTC Sig www.pless.com.au/mechanics.htm
Have you seen this? Helpful guide https://www.pistonheads.com/news/ph-buying-guides/bentley-continental-gt--ph-used-buying-guide/33798 Mine is an 07 with the Mulliner pack. 08 they went to a revised front bumper with different grille size and the GT speed was introduced. Tried to find where I read about the alternator with no success. I think 03 and 04 was the potential problem years, 05 might be ok??

The ridiculous packaging (a longitudinal engine hung out in front of the front drive shafts) dates from Audi's in the 1960's and makes simple jobs extremely time and cost consuming, not to mention any sort of frontal accident repair. It is common to all AUDI Quattro platform cars, not only the VW-Bentley but also Porsche SUV's, Panamera, etc. All these cars have massive depreciation for a reason.
Federal Government to impose capital gains tax on used car sales – UPDATE Selling that ludicrously over-valued Commodore might not be the windfall you think it is... As a follow-up to this week's 2022 Federal Budget, the Government has today announced the application of a capital gains tax on second-hand car sales. The 'LandCruiser Levy' will apply to all vehicles sold at a price above their agreed value, based on conditions of the market prior to 1 April 2020. This removes any inflated pricing the second-hand car market has endured over the past 24-months. Automotive assets sold for a profit will be subject to the same business rate calculation of tax on the gain as cryptocurrency and share assets. For example, this would see a 19 per cent capital gain tax imposed on a car sold for between $18,200 and $45,000 above its agreed pre-period value. Motor vehicles have been previously exempt from capital gains tax but Tony Gouger from the Fringe Offset Opportunity Liasion department of the Federal Treasury noted "the responsibility of the Government is to identify every opportunity where Australians are able to turn a profit and clip the ticket on the way through." An example scenario noted a 2007 Toyota LandCruiser 79 Series ute (new price of $56,490) which has a pre-1 April 2020 price estimation of $27,400 being sold in the current market for $186,450. This represents a $159,050 capital gain, which is taxed at a rate of 37 per cent. The seller would need to then pay $58,848.50 in tax, but still pocket the remaining $100,000 profit for themselves. The new tax is expected to yield some $4.2 billion extra taxation revenue and will be implemented effective from 1 April. A press conference is expected to be held at midday today, with further details. https://www.drive.com.au/news/federal-government-to-impose-capital-gains-tax-on-used-car-sales/
Well good luck if you find a 79 with a hairdryer('cos that would be the example for sale) for $27K in any part of Aussie.....they really don't have their finger on the pulse.....but I'm sure I do know where it's been!
CGT how will they monitor cars on club plates that are sold as in VIC ,no sales price is shown as NO stamp duty is collected . Seems very unfair to the private owner and where as a self- employed or company could take advantage of the CGT concession with a lifetime limit of 500k.
Yeah... That's been doing the rounds today. Sucked in lots of people. Sig www.pless.com.au/mechanics.htm
