  • What should you buy if the budget for your next SUV could stretch to half a mil? Well, when we're talking big bucks the world is your oyster. You could snag a Cullinan from Rolls Royce, but that seems so "LA." Ditto a Lambo Urus. If you prefer more of an old money vibe, only the Bentley will do. Join me as I review a car that stickered for more than the 13 acres I parked it on to film it.

    Glad you got to drive a Bentley Alex! I hope you had fun! You do a lot for us average car shoppers and i am glad to see you got to have a bit of fun. But i won't lie, i'd take the 13 acres and a RAV4 instead of the Bentley!

    It's not so much the cost of purchase. It's the humongous depreciation, combined with maintenance and insurance costs that hit you. It's sobering to know that some extremely rich people choose to purchase their vehicles second-hand little-used and of less glamorous brands, e.g., Lexus, even Lincoln… Come to think of it, this is why, perhaps, they're extremely rich still. Musk, I believe, drives a Tesla.

    • @AAutoBuyersGuide

      25% is the typical tax depreciation , actual depreciation will vary. The cost structure for jets is far more than depreciation and is going to be much much higher over 5 years than a fleet of Rolls Royces.

It should have been a D or F. Also, you seem smitten by the price tag. Honestly, it's an ugly vehicle and shows that VW really should give up on thinking it can make a luxury vehicle.
