Thanks! Yes the colour was different so that’s what pulled me in compared to others I saw. Thanks for watching (and subscribing 😬😬)

Of course - it’s Prasades in Sydenham, London! Thanks 🤪

Old one? Awww she is gone and hopefully will find a new home 🥺

Thanks 🤪🤪

🤣 could only be another Bentley 😬

Hi Mick - long time no see. Yes got lucky to spot this one for sale. I’m going to nip off to the post office to get a load of stamps in that case! Hope all is well for you?

After 2 weeks of driving - it’s significantly better! I’m surprised how it feels and it’s perfectly fine over the speed humps or bumpy UK roads. Thanks for watching 👍🏽

True - S Class AMG is awesome, especially the sound - but a Bentley feels more special in my opinion. Aston DB is another option, but a Bentley is more ‘practical’ I would say

@@zakmirza Aston is more about exterior design, it is not about interior comfort , thinking about its inside space

@evgenypolyakov9033 you are so right! I really don’t like the interior of an Aston - it doesn’t match up to its look or the sound from the AMG engine 🥺

Thanks for watching 👍🏽

Ahhh I see - if you have a link to that charger then please share with us all - thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏽

Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏽

Probably the same with all car manufacturers, sad to say. But thankfully it’s something anyway can easily do themselves and purchase better quality ones. Thanks for watching 👍🏽

Thanks for watching and commenting. Plenty more content in my other videos. How’s the experience in your Flying Spur so far?

@@zakmirza Absolutely love it ! See how it goes and wait for the big bills I guess !

@nigelgriffin1691 hahaha - yeee the bills will come, but hopefully just the ‘usual’ things. Cars are money pits anyway

True! Seen so many cheap ones online that look the same as Bentley ones - but I would avoid those as the paper filaments and oil would be super cheap for sure

Glad to help 😀

Sounds like you had an experience and a half with your one. So far things havent been too bad for me, hence wanted to share my experience. But thanks for detailing your own one here for everyone to see. By all means if you have found a good place, please write the details here so others can see as it will help. Thanks for watching.

Certainly 'livable' issues to contend with - thanks for watching :)

The Bentley is at its element on the motorway as it just keeps pulling and pulling. But I didn’t want to break the 70mph speed limit - of course 😇

Discs and pads are less than 6k old 🤣 maybe I expect too much from them (I don’t drive mental just sometimes from speed to low I expect more bite). That’s the problem when u have test driven one with ceramics 😬 they are awesome but damn expensive if you have to replace!

Could always do with more money 🥺

its actually more comfortable back there than it looks, just happens that you sit more back

i think partly due to the weather we have here in the uk. that doesnt help for sure! but at the end of the day, its a car, they all degrade no matter the cost :(

A lot of the stated repairs seem to be done by their ability to spot a sucker. Fancy wording for things that are unnecessary or can be done yourself.

@seanfarias3499 maybe - but seen as I’m not a budding mechanic wanted to share with people so they see items and costs. And your right, if your half competent, can prob do most yourself 😀sadly a service stamp and history details are worth their weight in gold. I would never buy one that just had service stamps but no other repair history at a reputable place. Seen too many horrible stories here on CZcams!

still a head turner if u can daily drive that one! that would be a long term investment i would think. Still sounds cool!

Awww it’s the classic mature look!

Ahh that’s good to know, at least it seems the right choice compared to a double the price ‘Bentley’ rebranded one - which strangely looks like a CTEK!

同意しました。これらの車では、すべての電気システムを備えているため、これは必須です。彼らは気まぐれになる可能性があります。

@@zakmirza 日本車では、あまり考えられない(経験した事ない)症状ですね。

I know, right! Home service exhaust mods!!

The trickle charger only charges the larger battery. If u are having start up issues check the healthy and state (capacity) of the smaller battery (the starter battery) as that might need to be replaced. Also if u are having start up issues put your key in the ignition, turn it left once then turn right to start the car. This takes load from the larger battery to kick start the car. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching.

10k CAD for annual running costs (gas, taxes, insurance and maintenance) seems enough. But make a list of all these costs (call ur Bentley specialist about the cost of servicing to get that figure). Important u have an idea of how much each costs to make sure u can afford. Not sure how much more expensive these might be in Canada. This car you are looking at, make sure u check it over or get a mechanic to have a look so u have an idea of the breaks, tyres and other components like the suspension once they jack the car up. Take your time when looking for a car - there will always be something. Took me 3 months to find mine.

🤣

The infamous stache

@@spectrekishen 🐻

dont know! only thing i can think of is that the car spent all of its time up the north of England where the wether tends to be colder, wetter and of course the salt on the roads.

Hi - Just make sure it has the least number of owners. So many 5 or 6 previous owner cars which u should avoid. You can daily drive it, but the petrol will be a lot! but often the ones which are driven every day are the most reliable ones. look into how much the servicing costs are before you buy so factor that into ur budget. Check out my other 'bentley ownership' videos to get a rough idea of prices. Thanks

@@zakmirza thanks for taking the time to reply. I did watch your other vidéo. After owning yours for a while and knowing all about it, do you anytime regrets getting or would you have chosen another car instead of a continental ?

No regrets! Each time I drive it feels special. When I got this I was also looking at CLS AMG, Porsche Panemera Turbo and 911 Turbo. But this feels more special than all those cars. They are reliable if u buy a well maintained one with full service and paperwork. They are reliable, but require u to invest regular to servicing and repairs - which can be expensive. I have had mine for 6yrs+ and it still feels special 🥰

@@zakmirza thank you I'm actively looking for a good one to purchase

@@forum2013 Good luck :)

Really? Strange since the US has a good domestic manufacturing of tyres - but Pirelli do have a factory in Mexico so prices shouldn’t be too expensive

It has been - but prices have increased approx 20% last year - for no reason!

I hand wash my car 😂😂

Thanks for watching :)

Think when I was looking for performance filters, those BMC ones were £200. If you know a better place to get them from plz let me know!

@@zakmirza ebay has them for £140 to £160 but not in the uk

Cheers

Air filters are generic VW ones as the VW Pheaton used the same ones! That’s easy enough for me to do (see my other video). VW/Audi specialist I wouldn’t trust as with these cars they are just put together differently, and it really makes a difference when dealing with ex-Bentley mechanics

@@zakmirza Not sure where you are but David Lees Motor Engineers of Alcester are great VAG and Bentley specialists.

Ohhh that’s milesssssss away from me - but thanks for sharing so hopefully others will find it useful

@@zakmirza You could have a day out in Stratford Upon Avon or Bicester Village or Warwick Castle while it's in 🤣🤣

Ahhh ok i know Bicester Village!

True - that’s if I’m able to do the service myself - clearly I am not 🥺
