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.

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.
