What is the best year for a used Bentley Continental GT?

I got a huge bonus check this year, and I want to do something that will wow my clients and is also fun to drive—I’m thinking a Bentley Continental GT will do the trick. However, I’ve never made a purchase like this and the new ones are prohibitively expensive. Which used Continental GT should I buy?

You won’t go wrong with the Bentley Continental GT! But if you want to combine value, reliability, and features into one complete package, the best year for a used Bentley Continental GT is probably the 2012 model.
The 2012 model is highly regarded as one of the best Continental GTs ever made—it even has prices that are on par with ones made several years later or with lower miles. For around $100,000, you can get a used model with:
  • 6.0-liter W12 with 567 horsepower and up to 516 pound-feet of torque
  • 6-speed, shiftable automatic transmission
  • 0-60 mph in just 4.4 seconds—faster than the 2022 edition
  • Ventilated leather seats
  • 21-inch painted aluminum wheels
  • Top speed of 189 mph
  • Elegant interior and striking exterior
