A Bentley is one of the most expensive cars you can buy, and a new one generally costs over $200,000.00. One would expect an engineering marvel for that kind of money.
Ironically, we’re getting more and more calls concerning “lemon” Bentleys. Seems Bentley has a variety of problems which it cannot solve in its cars. One case we’re handling now involves persistent electronic problems which Bentley has basically admitted it cannot solve. One case (unfortunately, not my own) recently went to trial in Orange County over a smell issue in the vehicle. Turns out Bentley used a different epoxy on the vehicle’s interior components, expecting that the car would be used in colder climates such as Britain. Well, in warmer climates, such as Southern California, the epoxy melts partially and causes a terrible smell in the vehicle. The Orange County jury ordered a complete buyback of the vehicle and also assessed a penalty against Bentley.
So, just because you spent THAT MUCH on a car does not mean it’s not a lemon. As mentioned in earlier posts, we’ve also seen ultra-expensive Maybachs, Lamborghinis, Ferraris, Rolls Royce, Maseratis and top-end Mercedes come through with “lemon” problems, so be on guard even if you did spend a quarter-million on your vehicle.
I hope this post is of use to you.
