Change your car with Carwow:
When it comes to luxurious cars, it doesn’t get much better than the Bentley Continental GT.
The problem is, they aren’t exactly the cheapest cars around! A new Continental GT Speed costs from around £237,000, and the car that we have here (with a couple of options added) costs close to £300,000!
So what if you want to get your hands on a luxurious car but don’t have that sort of money lying around? Well, you’d look for a second-hand option, of course. And that’s just what Mat’s done for this video!
Mat and the team have done some browsing online and found a Continental GT from 2006 for just over £10,000 – cheaper than the carbon ceramic brakes on the new Bentley! The question is – for such a low price, is it all a bit too good to be true?
Well in this video, Mat’s going to put the two cars to the test. From their design and interior quality to putting it through a full professional inspection, Mat will reveal whether it’s actually possible to pick up such a luxurious car on the cheap!
The question is, if you had a spare £10,000 lying around, would you be willing to risk it on a second-hand Bentley? Let us know in the comments!
Thanks to @REPerformanceUK for helping us to create this video!

The new is horrible looks tacky and the interior is sooo bad
Only people with more money than sense buys these cars. They all plummet in value, much like BMW, and the repairs are equally as costly even when the car is only worth €10,000 because of the scam dealers. There’s no way I’d waste my money on one although I could most certainly afford several.
Fiat 600 headlight
Haha. I'm convinced he's messing with us by using the word "just".
The new one": hideous colour, interior and designed to appeal to a footballer. Yuck.
Adorable Bentley. Not as ostentatious as Rolls but equally good.
paid about 10000 too much for that used Bentley.
I swear this guy wasnt cross eyed before . Whys he looking at the screen like that
James May proved this 20 years ago on his entry to new TopGear.
What is old is new again
I’ve got to say, the interior of the OG Conti looks better and more refined than the one with the garish highlighter green accents.
So basically you can buy 3 Bentleys and have triple available spare parts for a price of new VW Golf.
Proper old Bentley, full detail, tech upgrade, full service, proper car. That new ‘thing’ is just crass vulgarity
That yellow on the interior just looks so tacky to me
Matt, just an fyi you find a way to get it through your own company, it doesn’t make sense you getting it as an employee.
Green and Yellow, green and yellow, lay me down quick, cos I'm gonna be sick and lay me down to die.
Did Mat just go cross eyed for a moment then
The new conti is so pretty
You've got used to electric acceleration, so everything feels sluggish.
It's great until it goes wrong, which is will… often.
A bit of a shame that he didn't try it in full electric mode
This was good
Great to see the lads from REPorformance! Top YouTube channel, and they do bikes too ooooooh
The old car looks better.
Unpopular opinion but the new Conti is so vulgar. It us in line with the nowadays Lambo’s
A GT you don’t buy for the passengers space!
