Spotting a 2006 Bentley Continental Flying Spur listed online at a price far below what these sedans once commanded is enough to make anyone do a double take. Not long ago, a car like this signaled serious wealth, yet depreciation has brought early examples within reach of buyers who never imagined owning a Bentley at all.
The catch, of course, lies in ownership costs that don’t shrink along with the sticker. Service, parts, and the occasional major repair on a luxury car of this caliber can quickly dwarf the purchase price, so the real question is whether a tempting deal up front is worth the long-term commitment it demands.
