This place is a joke.
With the current G market this is a very interesting time to buy one. The price is crazy, but the cost may not be, unless you plan on keeping it for a very long time. There's a lot of numbers to crunch between purchase price, interest and/or lease payments, and potential resale value. In some cases as has been pointed out, you could drive one for two years for very few dollars relatively speaking. Almost as if the depreciation is frozen in time, for however long that lasts!

My buddy traded his in and lost alot on it. IMHO, at 268k which was our build, its grossly overvalued… 225k for a Bentley is fair and the G is underpriced. I liked the Urus though for 60k more, I would rather have the Bentley as a second truck next to my G63 as dailies. Also, outside of the gurgles and speed, i happen to think the exterior of the car is too muted IMHO
Agree with you that G at MSRP is underpriced, but on principal Id rather buy an overpriced MSRP car like the Bentayga or Urus and feel less like Im getting bent over vs $xx ADM... Can always wait 1-2 years for a G at MSRP anyway, it's not like they are going to change it lol

I didnt realize the options on the Bentley didnt add up that much compared to the Urus. I could never find an options price guide for it so I assumed it was comparable to the Urus. That is a significant difference.

I would love to see an even more aggressive look for the Urus... and I wish they had figured out how to jam the V10 in there. If Bentley can have the W12, why cant they let Lambo have something better than a TTV8?

G63
Interesting comparison

Ive owned...5 G63, new and old..have my 6th coming

My wife has a RSQ8...maybe close to the same chassis. If a much different vehicle....the G63 feels "alive"....the audi, well it feels like a $60K audi.....until you step on the gas. the audi is very fast, but feels isolated

My wife prefers the RSQ8....as its comfy, air suspension, has ceramic brakes (she never washed her car so the wheels stay clean lol). He biggest complaint was the exhaust pipes and our 5 year old burning her leg on them getting in the G. The G is more of a boutique truck....I love them....but apples and oranges to anything else

The one I miss most is my 2018, I loved that truck

Ive found ordering a G63 with the trail pack makes it a much better ride...I would not consider one without trail pack

in normal mode its a bit softer, but not too soft

In sport mode it stiffens it up just enough
