Bentleys from that Era also suffer from electrical issues and some of those parts aren't made anymore. A lot of the Continental GT's in that era suffer from turbo failure caused by secondary oil pump failing ever so slightly. Not enough to trigger a warning, but the turbos get starved of oil and then they gone. Ask the Car Wizard.
Most likely you mean the V8 Continentals, the W12 Continentals are reliable, the downside is the lack of room to work on them, require to much labor for anything simple.
That car you can buy Audi parts for and the Volkswagen parts for when you go to the Bentley dealer they will charge you up for the same part so do some research on that because I had a similar problem with mine but my mechanic knew that you can get Audi and Volkswagen parts for the suspension. Also get an alignment done at Audi. It’s around $400 Bentley always pretty much doubles the price of the same thing, I think it’s the Audi a eight and a Volkswagen phaeton that you can get parts off of. If you do your research you will find that and it will save you a lot of money. I guarantee it enjoy the car bro.
I take mine to the dealer to get diagnosed properly which they charge 100s for and then order the parts myself and let my mechanic buddy put them on. It’s a expensive car but it’s still a CAR so most any mechanic can fix them long as they know WHAT they are fixing.
I’ve had a Bentayga, flying spur and the GT so far to maintain and repair for customers. They are such an awesome vehicle and feel very lucky to have my job to touch them every day
If you do a lot of it yourself, which is easier than some may think on a Bentley, they get far cheaper. I own and maintain an Aston 4.7 V8V and I likely make far less than you do, I'm just a one employee small business owner. But I do all my maintenance myself, so it's quite affordable. More expensive than a Honda Accord, still, no doubt. But far cheaper than overpaying someone else to do remedial tasks for you.
Car Wizard is awesome, but he really sent so many people off a plank on that. The trunk motor needs two gears and they cost $65 (plastic like oem) or $100 (aluminum).
Struts are super common to go out on those cars, the headliners start sagging all the time and the dash leather will shrink, so make sure to park in the shade!
$2100 for tires? Where's the shop getting them from, Tiffany's? 😂 $1300 puts you in a fine set of touring tires. Upper control arm parts are $250-350, labor 2 hours max. Tire pressure issues is probably the TPMS module, cheap, easy fix. The Module is located right behind the rear seat, driver's side, but DON'T expect a new module to work, need to match the serial number from a used unit, otherwise the car will not talk to it without Bentley programming the module and even then, no guarantee. Great looking car, perhaps the finest modern GT on the planet, albeit, newer ones have shamed the earlier versions, though at astronomical prices of like $300K. Also, one should own their own oil company to afford the gas... 😊 Enjoy, big man!
I am a former multiple Bentley owner. They are what I refer to as "three year cars". Or, put another way, only worth having if you can run to buying a new one because after the warranty runs out you really are 'on your own' and sadly they are not generally reliable cars.
Bentley car is outstanding price are high for repair,maintenance, and insurance instead of buying luxury car you can buy normal car that’s affordable like in Douglas, Ga district car dealership gmc, or you can use money to help the poor because without them not all folks are wealthy or rich money can’t buy happiness no offense I am saying truth fact.
When you made the first video about possibly buying the Continental, I referred to a video stating that the Continental GT was rated as the worst car for dependability/maintenance
My man, Burlacher the content is getting better and better, you seem a lot more comfortable these days. I've been a subscriber for a long time, damn near the beginning, and I'm loving your growth brother! Keep up the good work!
you did the right thing by gettting a Bentley. you are a CEO and you deserve a classy car like that. Just space out the payments and try not to buy any more new cars anytime soon and all will be well! Keep crushing it, like you say!
wouldve been way more awesome to see you buy a brand new 2022 gt500 and instead of repairs you couldve put a whopping $10k into it and got a e85 tune exhaust supercharger pulley tires and ported supercharger and boom you have 1200hp and can run mid to.low 9s in the 1/4mile not to mention stock they get you around a track within a second or faster than cars like a Ferrari f8 tributo Lamborghini huracan evo and porsche gt3rs. So Supercar that costs mustang money to fix if need be. Hellcat redeye makes more hp but yet loses to stock gt500 and hellcat couldnt take a turn if your life depended on it. oh and couldve got one starting at 70k or carbon fiber track pack for 85-95k
Yeah... Bentley offers little to none content for his youtube channel and is a massive money sink. This purchase would make sense only if he was a carwizard who fixes cars himself
@@msway836 dealerships sell it or there are warranty companies you can purchase from as long as the sale is with in 30 days of the purchase of warranty.
Had savini 22 on my bentley caued susp issues.put the original rims and tires. I wraped my bentley pearl satin white.avery wrap.i would do the same color would look nice with that red interior.
Front wishbone and strut tower are 30k miles parts. I drive mine spiretively on small roads, i change them every 2 oil change... consumables... on another level.
I am in the hood of Detroit. There is a lot of rappers driving those kind of cars in Detroit. With forgiato rims. Those tires should not cost you no more than 200 to $300 a piece. Don't fall for anything kid
When people say “my oil change and alignment was 4800” they are lying. He casually threw in there it needed an “annual service” but god knows what that entailed. And from the condition of the car it was probably thrashed. These companies don’t really to single services because it doesn’t make sense for the intervals. So when you do your w12 oil change which isn’t so simple you also fo a handful of other things.
Beautiful Bentley but the aftermarket wheels are so ugly. The silver color makes it look 10 years older than it already is. Get some more modern looking black wheels.
I've seen a lot of horror stories about buying a used Bentley. There was one where something was broken and the company that used to make that part (not Bentley) went out of business and then the newer models used a different company. So in the end he couldn't get the part new. I'd say just get a Lexus. Take care of it and drive it until the wheels fall off.
It's a real shame what has happened to Bentley and Rolls Royce after their split. Neither of the famous brands have been able to maintain the respectfull reputation they were founded on. The Bentley Contenential range whilst being a popular fashionable success seems to have created a lot of problems for themselves, like most other common modern cars. This problem is overengineering, which has lost it balance with practicality. People more than ever have the money to buy cars without having to consider their real needs and practicality, as we pay more for things on cars that we can not physically use, but complicating it beyhond practicallity. Cars are being made faster everyday whilst everyday we are restricted more and more by speed limits to slow down, leaving most motorist to just become boasting tyre kickers.
You are correct and also very fortunate if you can fully use all the performance and speed that a most cars today have. I know I can not and when it comes to luxury cars one if the biggest mistakes is when they don't know how to compromise with simplicity, which should be a big part of producing a dependable and practical luxury car. Not just a pile of the latest gadgets on wheels to show off with.
Im not sure how many people would be interested but I would love to see a sneaker tour, I love shoes as much as cars and I always love seeing what new shoes you cop
Part of the issue is you’re going to the dealer. Of course everything is going to be expensive. You can get tires cheaper from tire rack, and I’m sure there are independent mechanics that can work on that car much cheaper.
You are correct. He’s also not being clear about the “Bentley annual service”. It’s different every time. So for his to be that high it’s not a minimum annual service. My Bentley is under warranty so I go to the dealer but my services are way less than this one cause it ain’t thrashed 🤣
I'm sensing either the Rose Acanthus wrap, or the closest to it which would probably be a matte Rose, or matte satin chrome pink. Tron AutoLab going to be hooking you up. But the wrap have to. match those shoes you showed us.
I have questions if you don’t mind: How did those rims get so mangled? What tires did they price you the second time? How much is the wrap? $2000? What would the vehicle be worth after you’ve completed all the repairs? How is $7000 a lot of money when you have a Hellcat? 🤣 The seats in that Bentley are probably $20,000 Anyhow thank you for sharing a glimpse into the world of luxury cars 👍🍻
If you cannot not afford the up keep,do like other owners do, buy new or lease new! All under new car warranty and cost is less than buying an old Continental GT!😊
This guy said the dealership told him something might b wrong with the car num nut y would u even consider buying it this guy is a fraud who spends 93k on a car that has issues got even clout chasers in the car world 😊

Mad respect for the interior color matched fruit leather 🤌

One thing I also watch out for is the trunk mechanisms wear out eventually and those parts are not made anymore
Car Wizard is awesome, but he really sent so many people off a plank on that. The trunk motor needs two gears and they cost $65 (plastic like oem) or $100 (aluminum).
My granddad had that issue on his Azure and Flying Spur (both cars from around the 2003-2006 era)

Just a question why didn't you buy an aftermarket warranty on this car? It would take care of some of your repair costs. Or any future major cost.
Do you get that at the Dealership he bought it from or in the Marketplace?

I had to keep rewinding at 9:22. $750 for an alignment????
What do you mean “How much are tires on a Bentley?”. They are tires lol, just buy them from tire rack and avoid the dealer markup.
Maybe go somewhere other than Bentley for the service? Must be somewhere you trust that doesn't have automatic Bentley tax
I love your content so much, Nick! Keep it up!:)

Trade for a V8 Bentley and tune to achieve W12 power and you should go no problem
Why is the alignment and oil change so insanely expensive? Even with a Bentley tax, that seems too high
When u go to places like that they charge more for, “better service”
Im sure the w12 is alot like the Bugatti w16 and has alot of oil and alot of drain points, I don't think these are easy to work on either
Right? $900 for an oil change seems wild.
@@michaelfenton1887 yes the W system is extremely difficult and very complex to work on which is why that costs so much

There have been some already, Hoovie stopped by with his million mile diesel. Burlacher went to Kansas and bought the old yellow H2 hummer

And just like that we're back baby
Everytime i see someone hyping about shoes I thank God that I do not😂
I will never complain about my $100 oil change again
The old Service Manager in me was like, Why is the shop soo quiet. Did he clear out the shop to make the video. We are not making money. Lol
Just wondering... if the 3k dollars for the control arms including labour or just for the parts?
amazing hoovie impression
If you cannot not afford the up keep,do like other owners do, buy new or lease new! All under new car warranty and cost is less than buying an old Continental GT!😊
You just bought this car, surely it has some kind of warranty?
dude...that INTERIOR!!!!!!!!!! wow
Aside from the repairs, it looks awesome.
Thats a freaking Money Pit!
Anyone else catch when he dented the hellcat hood
Thank you!!
Get a personalized plate for the cars now before you can't. I hear they're getting rid of the option for vanity plates here in utah in July.
Yeah 750 for and alignment my a$$, James knows somebody lol

I think midnight purple looks really good on the continental ct
I have the same thing going on in my a4 same tire interesting. great video!!
The first problem with your 2012 Bently continental GT it's a 2012 Bently GT
might be cheaper to ship it to the wizard
Do a reverse Stradman, wrap the Bentley a cool titanium white with purple chrome rims.
Thanks for giving me the prices. I'm about to buy a 2012 Continental GT myself. 49K miles. But it looks pristine to me.
You got ripped off mate, save ur money and sell it off
2012 is the problem
$900 oil change??? RED FLAG
Love the vid. Alot less time was wasted on talking and more time just getting it done.
I be watching to see what J’s you rockin
$750 for a $60 alignment... yeah no. youre clearly getting fleeced on that.. and probably some other stuff too.
