Summary
What does this car say about you?
Contrary to popular opinion I don't feel like a premiership football player. I think the car says I have excellent taste but at the same time I'm not flash!
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
In a sea of Mercedes and BMW, the Bentley stands out from the crowd, especially at the golf club.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes although I do like to experience different cars. One thing I would definitely do is buy from Tim at Lexus Worcester again, it's the best buying experience I've had! He even told me if i recommend a friend and they buy from Listers he'll give me a hamper of champagne!
What are you likely to buy next?
Not sure only just got this one!

Buying experience
Type of dealer you bought from?
Independent
Did you buy this car new?
Yes
What price did you pay?
£89,995
When did you buy the car?
January 2007
Did you get a good deal and why?
When i compared it to other cars listed on parkers, autotrader etc yes i did think I got a good deal. I actually bought it from a Lexus dealer (Listers in Worcester), I think when you buy from Bentley dealers they add a bit more on top.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
I've always wanted a Bentley so I decided what the hell and treated myself!
What was the dealer like?
Listers were really good, because i was quite far away they sent me loads of pictures over on email so I could really see everything on the car. This really helped to convince me - you don't want to be driving miles to see something that's not quite right do you?

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
No, I absolutely love the car. It is everything I hoped it would be from the drive to the luxury interior - absolutely brilliant.
What's most practical about your car?
I love the heated seats, I've got a a bad back and it really helps with the aches and pains.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Just the car itself, in a world where many luxury cars look similar the Bentley Flying Spur is a class above.
