Bentley Continental Depreciation & Resale Value

Bentley Continental keeps an estimated 42% of its recent market value after 5 years — #610 of 684 cars VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.

Per VINdown's modeling, the Bentley Continental retains an estimated 42% of its recent market value after five years, ranking #610 of 684 cars we track. That trails the 55% five-year average for Luxury in its class by 14 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the Bentley Continental sheds about 58% of its recent market value in year one alone. From roughly $223,725 it falls to around $93,069 by year five — a five-year loss near $130,656, about $71.59 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Bentley Continental bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
