I shopped for one for a relative over the summer.
Deals are few and far apart. Inventory was extremely limited.
Definitely a case where demand exceeds supply. Plus forget getting even somewhat of a reasonable deal on the new flying spur. Rolls Royce doesn’t play ball either.
You are definitely dreaming that you can get a steep discount.
Miller Motorcars leases used Bentleys (they had a 2015 Flying Spur that was a solid deal). The caveat is the warranty. Bentley warranty lasts three years. The extension is $6K per year, which tacks on another $500 p/m to the lease payment.
Assuming one through swapalease might be a good idea. Strong incentives / people parting ways with their original down payments. Only go this route if you get the car PPI’d thoroughly as I can only imagine what excess w&t costs can be on a Bentley. For the most part I was not able to come close to the swapalease numbers.
The plus side is the shopping experience is super pleasant. I dealt with several Bentley dealers and I must say that they truly are product experts and they thoroughly understand the art of customer service. Miller Motorcars in particular-- extremely generous with offering test drives. It was cool cause they did a launch party for the 765LT and sent me an invite, definitely felt like a VIP there.
I posted this meme in the car industry memes thread-- pretty much sums up my experience
