Found this Bentley at one of the local used car dealers. I know this may not be a big deal to some of you, but where I live doesn’t have something like this come along very often. Not sure of year or price since the dealer site doesn’t have it listed.

Also, I have been thinking about making this into a sort of semi-regular thing. My wife and I both love cruising the lots to see what is out there because we are both massive dorks car lovers. I plan to call it Dealership Stalking since that is what I have tagged my other ones as so far. What says Oppo? Would this be something worth putting some effort into? Any input would be most grateful!

Doooo it. I enjoy doing that too when it's nice out and I get bored. Sweet looking Bentley, love the black.

My wife is a huge Bentley fan. Hell, our damn Yorkie is named Bentley. I’ve considered it a good bit since it is something we both already enjoy doing anyway. We even do it when we are out of town. I picked a winner for sure. :)

I used to do this a ton with my dad, partially because we start shopping a good 8-12 months before we buy. However, we both currently have cars we plan on keeping for a while, so it’s been less recently. And yeah, we look at plenty of stuff that we’d never be likely to buy.

For some reason that Bentley actually looks really nice. I would actually drive that and I normally dislike Bentleys for their stigma. Although I’d say the black wheels have to go. It just doesn’t look as classy as the rest of the car.

Yeah, most all of it would be things we wouldn’t actually buy, but the fun of it is going with somebody who is just as passionate about cars as you are. I definitely have to hand it to my wife for being a car nut.

I agree. Normally they are only known because of who owns them, not for what the car is. That’s a shame, too, because Bentley’s are quite stunning for what they are. The wheels are actually Giovanna’s iirc. I don’t mind them on this one since basically the entire car is black, but I understand what you mean.

As a fellow Car Lot Stalker in a State without any exotic car dealers above Porsche and Jaguar, I would love to read about what you find!

You are a lucky man! I had some Bentley pictures from the DC auto show on my phone but I can’t seem to find them, I’ll post if I find em.

I'm fortunate being right outside the DC area, lots of nice dealers who are willing to let me wander looking at cars.

Stalk-lopnik? Dealer-Sneaker? Just trying to think of a catchy name for your blog lol

Thanks! We don’t have much in my city unfortunately. Jackson has Lexus, BMW, Land Rover/Jaguar, Porsche, VW/Audi, and Mercedes though. They also recently got a used Exotics dealer of sorts. I plan for us to make a trip up there this coming weekend, so hopefully there will be some decent finds.

Thank you sir! I really do feel like I am. I couldn’t have asked for anybody better, honestly.

Yes, you are. Probably the two best places that we have gone to and looked were in Atlanta and Las Vegas. I may start with those since I already have plenty of pictures from when we went late last year.

Matt Nichelson > Tapas
01/31/2016 at 22:35

Haha that’s awesome. If it gains some traction, I may see about changing it to something catchy. We’ll see how it goes.

Looking forward to seeing them. I'm sure Las Vegas is a crazy place to look at cars.

Lol it sounds like fun :) But It’s difficult to have a name that doesnt have a creepy vibe. So good luck wth that!

Very much so. We both have a ton of pictures from Vegas between the dealerships, The Auto Collections at the Linq, and SEMA Ignited. I need to get around to making seperate posts for those second two.

Thanks! Yeah anything with ‘stalking’ in the name may do that. I’ll see what works and what doesn’t and figure something out.

Value is starting to drop, so they will pop up everywhere I think. I like it!

Matt Nichelson > CALUSA

Yeah. I wish their website had it listed so I could have an idea of what they are asking. Maybe they will at some point this week.

I say go for it, it is always fun to check the local lots, especially near me where there are many exotic dealerships and importers. Cars range from ridiculously clean Datsuns and American muscle to Bentlys, Lamborghinis and Ferraris. There are even goodies such as an Ariel Atom and a BMW Z8 3 miles from my house.

Thanks. I just think it would be something fun to add to the group and since it something my wife and I already do, it wouldn’t involve doing anything out of the way. I do wish we had more options where I live, but I have to take what I can get.

CALUSA > Matt Nichelson
02/01/2016 at 10:32

I think $45,000 - $55,000.

Matt Nichelson > CALUSA

I will let you know if they update. Would be fun to see how close you are.

Haha, that would be nice!
