There is an expat around who only deals with high end cars and does a lot of Bentley as well as drives a GTC himself. He reckons servicing every 10,000 miles / 15,000kms although he does his own every 6 months due to the climate.


His advice, check for history, should be a full history with no gaps. Don't fall for the excuse it's with main dealer. Far too many clocked ones and very expensive if it all goes wrong and very few garages outside of main dealer have a clue how to fix or service these. Always test on a highway and try to do some high speed hard braking to check for disk warp. Check for oil leaks over engine, gearbox and rear axle. Gaskets and fitting not cheap, and some require engine out. Make sure all electrics work as they should. Steering lock to lock shouldn't creak. Apart from those just normal money savers such as tyre and brake pad condition.


There are a lot on the market to take your time and choose carefully. He himself imported his GTC as he couldn't find a decent one on the market here that fulfilled his own above criteria - he mentioned that every one he'd seen here had been clocked.

A mate has a late 90's Turbo R he may sell. He's had it since new and it still looks new! PM me if you want to know more.
