Did Mat make a huge mistake buying a Bentley Continental GT for just £10,200?
In this video, we’re putting our bargain-basement Bentley head-to-head with a pristine, well-maintained version of the exact same car, but this one is worth £30,000! Is the "mint" example really worth three times the price, and if so, is it worth Mat pouring in the cash to get our car to the same level?
Well, here’s the thing: we already know from a previous video that there are a whole load of issues with our car. We need to replace the front suspension, replace the handbrake motors, change warped brakes, and it also needs a major service and a new MOT. All in, the fix everything, it would cost over £25,000 to fix them all!
What’s more, the 6-litre W12 should be producing 550hp, but in this instance ours is only putting down 320hp, so to get it back to producing what it should would cost an additional £8,000!
So we now have a massive decision to make. Do we cut our losses or double down? Here is how we tackle this dilemma:
For starters, we see how much the car is worth if we simply strip it and sell it in pieces. We then get the car professionally valeted to see if "looking the part" is enough to fool a specialist when compared to the £30k version, and then finally we attempt to fix only the bare essentials required to get it road-legal.
Can you actually save £20,000 by buying a "fixer-upper" Bentley, or did we just buy a very heavy, very expensive paperweight? Stick with Mat to find out!
