Car financing: the 2001 Bentley Continental
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2001 Bentley Continental for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Before you buy the 2001 Bentley Continental, see the figures and the checks worth doing.
A buyer's checks
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
The numbers in plain words
It runs the 6.8L 8-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
It is rated at 19.6 L/100 km combined, so budget about 59 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $34.30, and a 300 km weekend about $102.90. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$6,850 a year for 15,000 miles.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
Practical details
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. The EPA lists 340 litres for luggage, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
A longer test drive
Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. A week with the Continental answers more than any brochure.
Choosing the right one
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
What it costs to run
The EPA estimates US$6,850 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $343 at our price setting.
