The cheapest Bentley in India has an asking price of a base Maruti Swift. The used car market has been booming in our country in the last few years. This is true, especially after the pandemic. The need for personal mobility has increased exponentially. This happened not just in India but in every part of the world. Hence, people started heading to the used carmaker more often. Apart from that, some people also visit second-hand car markets to get their hands on their dream cars at discounted prices. Let us take a look at the details of this latest case.
India’s Cheapest Bentley Costs As Much As a Maruti Swift LXi
This post comes from kunalkrc_77 and mahad_car_club on Instagram. The host of the video is showing the viewers an old Bentley. It clearly looks like a significantly older model, perhaps over 15 years old. The text in the video mentions that this costs Rs 7.5 lakh. Now, it is possible that the vehicle is illegal in some parts of the country if it is older than 15 years. For instance, many people in Delhi are selling their luxury cars since old vehicles are banned from plying on the road. Therefore, owners just want to get rid of these cars which is why they offer them at such discounted prices.
That could be the reason for this price tag as well. Note that the on-road price of the base Maruti Swift LXi is over Rs 7.50 lakh. Hence, to put things into perspective, this cheapest Bentley is available at an even lower asking price than a brand-new Maruti Swift. The host even showcases a Mercedes sedan available for sale. The details of it are not available. All in all, this post is a great example to highlight how people can fulfil their dreams of owning a luxury car.
Our View
I always advise our readers to stay away from too old luxury cars. There are plenty of reasons for this. While the asking prices might seem too enticing, the fact remains that these are excruciatingly painful to maintain and service. The availability of spare parts is a huge issue in itself. Not to mention, if the government decides to ban vehicles over a certain age, then you won’t be able to drive these cars at all. Hence, I would encourage our readers to consider all these aspects prior to making the decision to go for a used luxury car.
