Nice key!

Was that Bentayga ad real? I mean if someone has a quick 100k to dump.... plenty of people do.

I'm not a huge fan of that vehicle but of course it's really nice and fast.

Yup, its real!

The $99,900 is just for a 2 year lease. Its probably like 2,500 miles a year too. So, $4,162.50 per month.

I mean, that would be something someone could splurge a really nice bonus on for example. "Hey, a Bentley to drive for 2 years.." That might get people in the door at least. It got my attention and I don't have any $100,000 bonuses headed my way.

I'm sure they'd make the whole process quick and easy to get into one lol.....

That to me is just a colossal amount of money for not a lot of car and for not a lot of time. Although, if you added up all the lease payments on my S580 its $89,000...of course thats 4 years vs 2.

I wonder what spec Bentayga you get.

Ah, a divorce settlement maybe.... disgruntled husband or wife with a fresh 100k to blow..

It just doesn't really make sense, it's hard to write that much off and it's not a good term IMO all for a hybrid 6 and none of the Mulliner spec items.

Those Bentley leases are for 7500 annual miles. The one with the 99K one pay has a 254K MSRP and a 48K discount. The one with a 96K one pay has a 220K MSRP and a 35K discount. Of note, they are 2024 models.

So just pay double what the ad wants and own it outright (potentially) forever?

Yeah, this is a TERRIBLE financial move... but some people with money don't care. They have so much this doesn't matter. This ad is for suckers but some will fall for it, or just not care.

You have to be more specific, lol there are categories of "Florida things".... and yes, usually it is one.. I love it down there (the cops don't fool around) but damn...

50% to lease is bad, without overall context im not sure. How bad does the bb depreciate say compared to a RR or g63? paging lux price guru @RNM GS3 and @SW17LS

Florida things for Florida Man lol

The depreciation is pretty terrible. Honestly leasing one of these is the right way to drive one, but the sheer cost of it is just not worthwhile IMO.
