Yes, Bentleys do cost quite a bit to maintain—they’re among the most luxurious cars on the planet, after all! Oil changes for Bentleys typically run owners around $500, which is much higher than the $140 average for Mercedes, another vehicle in the luxury class.
In terms of other costs, your father is correct. Owning a Bentley will cost about $2,500 annually for routine upkeep. Of course, this cost will increase quickly if the car needs repairs.
Now, while your father may be right that it would be more practical to purchase a new car—that car just wouldn’t be a Bentley, after all! Good luck with your decision.
