Tips For Buying A Used Bentley:

- Gas Mileage: Gather data on how much gas the model you are after typically consumes. This may help shape your decision.
- Cost of Repairs: Bentleys are generally very reliable cars but you may want to find a repair shop (such as our in house service department) that specializes in Bentley repairs to ensure that your vehicle will get the best service possible.
- History Reports: A dealer can provide you with all the details you need to know before purchasing a Bentley vehicle. Don’t be afraid to ask! Read through the papers and possibly even pay to have a history report run. This may uncover any issues that could lead to complications down the road.
