Bay Area Bentley Dealer Says, "The Time to Buy a New Bentley is Now"

Since the dawn of the Bentley brand, the purchase of a new Bentley was usually only possible for the uber rich with pockets deep enough to write a check larger then the value of many US homes. While the price of a new Bentley ranging from the GT at $190,000 to the new Mulsanne at $310,00 is still out of reach for most, Bentley has never been more aggressive on their pricing and financial offerings. When the economic crisis hit, Bentley saw a decrease in sales of nearly 40% which put new Bentley dealer inventory at an all time high. This summer Bentley Motorcars has responded to their dealers cries for help, by releasing programs so good that dealers have sold more new Bentley's in the past 60 days then they have all year. Bentley Financial Services responded by releasing lease programs for new GT, GT Speed, Supersports and Flying Spur models requiring dealers to sell their cars at invoice in order to take advantage of their subsidized residuals, some with nearly $20,000 increased lease residual value, making for ultra low payments for those with qualifying credit. Supersports, the fastest Bentley in history, now has lease payments that are nearly 50% off of what they were when the car was released just last year. 
The GT Coupe, Bentley's best selling model, can now be leased for less than that of the new Mercedes Benz SL63amg for those with top notch credit even though they are considerably more expensive. If your credit took a hit during the market downturn like many people's did and you don't think you would qualify for Bentley's strict credit qualifications, not to worry, Bentley has you covered too. 
For those who do not want wish to take advantage of Bentley Financial's special lease and finance programs and prefer to pay cash, Bentley has incentivized its dealers on many of the most popular models to sharpen their pencils to make writing a check for a beautiful much easier. The time to treat yourself to a new Bentley is now!
