Got 25% off GLE53 up front and got an awesome trade-in for my Bentley I recently bought. I ended up flipping the Bentley for $30K profit so GLE53 for about 50K all in! I just bought it out since the lease was terrible! Will post pics of the car once it is in my driveway
Pre-Covid price arbitrage used to be possible on certain cars depending on the market area though not this large. I imagine the market for Bentley’s in CA (or export) is much larger versus NC. OP could have also secured a deal when he bought for similar reasons.
