The 2003 Bentley Continental: before you buy

We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2003 Bentley Continental for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. For anyone shopping for the 2003 Bentley Continental, here are the facts that matter.

Recalls and complaints

Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year.

The numbers in plain words

The 6.8L 8-cylinder turbo with rear-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.

At 19.6 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 59 litres of fuel. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $102.90 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$6,850 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Best uses

It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.

Practical details

As a compact car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. NHTSA's Canadian figures put it at 4.70 m long. It fits most condo and driveway spots. EPA lists 340 litres of luggage space, enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Rent it for a week first

Drive the Continental on your commute before you commit to it. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent the Continental for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.

Year and trim

Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.

What it costs to run

At our price setting, 100 km costs about $34.30 in fuel. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
