Why new cars are a RIP-OFF!

Change your car with :

When it comes to glamorous automobiles, it doesn't get better than the .

The problem is, they aren't exactly the most affordable around! A brand-new Continental GT Speed expenses from around ₤ 237,000, and the automobile that we have here (with a couple of options included) costs near to ₤ 300,000!

So what if you wish to get your hands on a glamorous and truck but don't have that sort of money lying around? Well, you 'd look for a second-hand choice, obviously. Which's simply what Mat's done for this video!

Mat and the group have actually done some searching online and found a Continental GT from 2006 for simply over ₤ 10,000 – cheaper than the carbon ceramic brakes on the brand-! The concern is – for such a low price, is it all a bit too excellent to be real?

Well in this video, Mat's going to put the two automobiles to the test. From their style and interior quality to putting it through a complete expert assessment, Mat will expose whether it's really possible to get such a glamorous cars and truck on the inexpensive!

The concern is, if you had an extra ₤ 10,000 lying around, would you want to risk it on a second-hand ? Let us understand in the comments!

    Me and my friends have all run cheap conti’s from 2004-2010. They are surprisingly easy to live with as long as you go into it prepared for 2 things. 1: 15mpg is a good day. 2: 5-10k a year on running costs / maintenance is normal. Be happy if you save on that.

    If you’re at peace with those things then I highly recommend a cheap conti.

      ​@ A more serious answer is insurance, fuel, road tax, 600 quid service (2 grand or more for major), replacing a few parts and you’re easily over 5 grand a year. I had to do suspension work and engine work. I think the receipts came out to 3.2k for that with an independent.

      Even if the fuel costs don’t really matter, the convenience is significant. You’re going to have to refuel the old one 3.5 times more often. Also 2,000 pounds isn’t really insignificant even for a Bentley owner. I imagine it’s more reliable and will be easier to maintain too.

      No, it is not for having the item. It’s for you using this item on public roads (which need to be paid for) and the fact that this item is about as efficient as driving a tank and that this is supposed to discouraged.

      If you just want to *have* the item, you can do so without any tax. But only if it stays in your garden.
