2018 Bentayga - keep servicing at dealers or go independent?
Discussion
I've got a 2018 Bentayga that's done 41k miles - we bought from a main dealer 2 years ago, its due its next service in 2 months.
Is it worth keeping it official bentley servicing or would you go to an independent now?
Its always been in the official network and we did have some issues fixed (with night vision) under warranty. Not sure if it's worth keeping it in the official service network this time. I'm leaning towards doing so because we are thinking of maybe selling it, we've got too many cars presently and dont really use all of them. I've just bought a new FFRR for my partner and she's using that now 99% of the time, so we probably won't be driving it as much.

You're gonna have a nasty surprise as it its value as a main dealer serviced car. Ive got one same age and similar mileage and it's worth buttons now.Is it worth keeping it official bentley servicing or would you go to an independent now?

If you're gonna keep it forever, I'd go independent.
As you're planning on selling, I reckon it's worth keeping it warranted and serviced by Bentley in the mean time.

Based on that I think we'll keep it - I asked myself this morning "Would I buy this for £70k?" and yes I think it'd be a bargain at that, so why sell it when it's worth more to you than it is in the market.
To be honest when a new Range Rover is £120k to £140k for a decent spec, this does feel very nice at £70-80k retail price now. A new Bentayga is £200k, and again in context this feels like a bargain.
I'd be tempted to swap into a 2021+ updated one, but I think the whole market is on its ass a bit. I've a deposit in for a ferrari 296 GTS and the GTB's have been absolutely caned. People paying £300k for a new GTB with decent spec selling for £220k 18 months later.
With the market as it is now, I think we're more likely to keep what we have and the Bentley is a lovely car, worth more to me than I'd probably get second hand. I can't think of anything better at a £70-80k price point.
