Just traded in the 2010 xk coupe for a for a 2005 Bentley Continental GT with 22k miles and flawless. Enjoyed all the jags I've had, great cars but had to upgrade to my ultimate car. Thanks for all of your advise over the years, this is fantastic forum.

Wow, that's awesome. Pictures are a must. Bentley has been on my list for a while. Been thinking of an older Arange or Brooklands.

I was considering the Bentley as well before deciding on the XK. I had to eliminate it because it was too long for my garage. Good luck and enjoy. A beautiful car.

Default 10 months with bentley

Getting back to you folks with update on my experience with trading my two jag xk's and getting the bentley. When I got the car it had a vacuum line leak which cost me 9k!. Otherwise have not spent anything on the car. It has TWO batteries which totally fixes the problem that my jags had with having to hook them up to a CTEK to keep them running. Seems like a tremendous solution which jag should incorporate. I loved the feeling I had driving the jags, the bentley takes it to a new level. Indescribable! Was in England last Fall and was able to tour the bentley plant in Crewe. The pride and workmanship in the building of these cars is impressive. I joined the bentley online forum which is a joke compared to you folks! Totally enjoyed and appreciated all of your help and comments over the past few years. Thanks !
