$300,000 Worth of Craftsmanship Meets Depreciation

The Mulsanne represents Bentley's pinnacle of traditional luxury. Each example required nearly 400 hours of hand-craftsmanship at Bentley's Crewe facility, where artisans meticulously assembled every component. This particular example showcases that dedication through beige leather with black piping and embroidery, dual-tone Piano Lacquer trim, and a wood-rimmed steering wheel framing analog gauges. The rear cabin features powered picnic tables, dual entertainment screens, and massaging heated seats, all luxurious features that give passengers the royal treatment.

Powering this nearly three-ton sedan is Bentley's legendary twin-turbo 6.75-liter V8 producing 505 horsepower and 752 lb-ft of torque, paired with a ZF eight-speed automatic transmission. The ride quality remains unmatched, with air suspension and electronic dampers delivering whisper-quiet serenity that makes it feel like you’re floating on clouds.

Compare this used Bentley price to a new Mercedes C-Class for similar money. The C-Class starts around $49,000, but option it reasonably with the AMG Line package, Premium Package and Driver Assistance, and you're approaching $65,000-$70,000. You'll get a competent 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder, modern MBUX infotainment, and excellent safety tech.

Final Thoughts

Where the C-Class offers efficiency and technology, the Mulsanne delivers experience and presence. The Mercedes provides practical daily transportation wrapped in entry-luxury packaging. The Bentley offers a big ol’ V8, Naim audio system, ventilated massage seats in all four corners, and the knowledge that craftsmen spent weeks building your specific car.
