    Wrong.

    You can buy Bentley’s for a couple of thousand and if you’re a car guy can maintain them pretty ok. I’ve got a friend with one and I can assure you he’s not in the slightest bit considered “rich”

      I would assume a Bentley for a couple thousand is not a new Bentley from the company and would not count towards VWs sales.

        What’s that got to do with the brash statement that I was replying to?

        If you own a Bentley, you’re either very rich, or just spent all your money on a Bentley

          Because they knew I was talking about new Bentleys, not 20 year old ones that are worth no more than their metal scraps worth.

            It’s a variable scale of age, how does anyone agree on the exact year it goes from being “new Bentley” to “metal scraps”?

            2, 5, 10 years? You’re better off clarifying new Bentleys in the original comment
