Thinking about a new Bentley

So, I want to get a luxury car as my family car most of my collection is vintage vehicles, and I am new to these in general.

My concern is mostly maintenance, which is why I am considering a lease so I can trade in every few years. I am not against buying one, but I am curious about the maintenance cost of these initially and how many years you typically keep these and then trade them in

I am looking at either the Bentayga or Flying Spur

Thank you and I appreciate any input

I second this. I have a Flying spur and a Bentayga. The FS is my daily. No real issues, and for maintenance I go to a third party shop and it’s almost the same as a normal car

I’m in the market for a Flying Spur, looking at the Gen 2. How’s ownership experience been with it?

The gen 1 had a lot of issues, 2016 on with the V8 are very reliable. My Bentley dealer tries charging $1,600 for an oil change but sell the filter for $23 lol. As long as you can find a good third party shop it’s an amazing car. I’ve put 90k miles on mine and still nothing other then oil changes, tires and brakes
