Why depreciation curves matter more than usual here
First-generation Bentaygas (2017–2020) depreciated far faster in their first few years than their as-new price suggested they would — a pattern common to ultra-luxury SUVs but one that catches owners, lenders, and even dealers off guard when it’s time to finance, insure, or trade one in.
W12 and V8 models are appraised separately: the V8’s better running costs have kept it comparatively more in-demand on the used market, even though the W12 was the flagship at launch.
Where an independent appraisal earns its cost
Trade-in offers on cars like this can vary enormously between dealers, and a lender’s own valuation tool often lags badly on ultra-luxury depreciation curves. An independent, USPAP-compliant appraisal gives owners, lenders, and estates a defensible number that reflects the actual current market — not a generic guide value.
