  • What to look for when buying a Continental GT. The problems I had with my car and how I fixed them.
    In part two I will go over essential servicing items and what they cost. Also common parts that fail and the cheaper VW Audi crossover parts that will fit, saving you a fortune.

    Thank you for sharing. We have the Diamond edition.
    We had similar suspension problems but like you said it was an inexpensive and relatively easy fix on the lift. The front grill was a bit more involved and expensive. The car is now amazing although there's only 50k (confirmed by Jack Barclay) on it. It has a full service history too. I'm looking forward to your next installment. Oh we've just had it ceramic coated. The finish is amazing and the Moroccan blue paint has so much depth to the colour. 😎

    I did pay a bit higher price for lower milage and I don't have all above problems at all. all problems I had was due to Main dealer service "specialist". They brake more than fix. Finally I decided to buy the service manual and service car myself and no problems now.

    Nice one. Straight to the point and informative. Consider slowing your speech down a little bit when you talking because for me I missed a couple of important points you made and had to go back and watch it again.

    Very nice! definitely worth watching before buying one... and also probably good to be a trained mechanic too!

    Your video was fantastic. I’m having problems with my radio on my 2016 Speed, would like to see a video on that and how to determine which radio it is in the car, an Audi or VW?

    How much did it cost to buy a car like this. Oh sir. Its my dream to build a wrecked bently gt from the UK and ship it to my country. You and Mat Armstrong are an Inspiration. Keep up the good work. Hopefully i can build one like this too.

    • @KevinReillySV
      @KevinReillySV Před rokem

      You can get one like this for around $20k-$25k usd. Used and higher miles but that’s not crashed or anything, probably cheaper with crash or water damage

    Great video but you talk way too fast and swallow your words - can barely understand you.
