Depreciation Insight

Understanding Bentley Flying Spur depreciation is crucial when assessing long‑term value. Lexus experts estimate that a new Bentley can lose between 15‑20% of its price in the first year—often the steepest decline. Following that, the annual drop usually settles between 10‑12% for the second and third years. Classic models such as the 1965 Bentley Flying Spur tend to follow a different curve; many “well‑preserved” examples experience revaluation after 10–15 years, especially if they’re complete with original parts and a documented service history.

So if you’re shopping for a used Bentley Flying Spur price and want to avoid a steep depreciation hit, consider:

• Vehicles purchased within the first few months of delivery (within fiscal year)
• Cars with a clean record of 0–10,000 km usage
• Models that received a factory overhaul or updated powertrain

Comparison Context

Compared to similar high‑performance luxury sedans, the Flying Spur stands out through its steer‑by‑wire** approach to suspension, a 120‑kW smarter‑gearbox, and a curiously spacious rear hatch that accommodates a flagged center console for a 6‑seat version. While the BMW 7‑Series and Audi A8 demand similar luxury attributes, the Flying Spur’s W12 provides a smoother horsepower curve and far less turbo lag.
