Until the mid 90's or so that was true..
Now Bentley is owned by BMW and RR is owned by Volks Wagen. I believe they both use BMW V12's.
RR/Bentley went BK back in 90...all the specialty parts makers went out of biz..it was then picked up by Volks Wagen and BMW...
Beautiful cars..luxury all the way...
The down side is as stated is the depreciation, rich people who own them tend to NOT MAINTAIN them cause they can go buy a nu one..so maintenance records have to be carefully checked.
AND EVEN IF YO PAY THE STROKE FOR MAINTENANCE THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THE WORK IS GOING TO BE DONE PROPERLY...unless of course you take it to the dealer who is going to soak you like a teabag for every ounce of Gelt in your pocket.
The cost of maintenance is like BMW on steroids... If you have to ask how much..then you can not afford it..and that is why those cars run down so quickly.
