Bentley Arnage value and depreciation
Known for old-school hand-built bentley motoring.
Depreciation curve
We class the Bentley Arnage as a luxury flagship & exotic in our 12-tier model, which puts its retention at roughly 54% after three years and 37% after five. Flagship saloons and exotics shed value brutally once the first owner is done. Some halo cars (911, certain AMG and M cars) beat this curve and carry per-model overrides.

Estimates for a new purchase at list price; retail basis, trade-in ≈ 12% under retail.
The Arnage was Bentley's flagship in South Africa through the 2000s, sold in small numbers via the official importer. Survivors trade cheaply for what they cost new, but running and parts costs are punishing. It appeals mainly to collectors of hand-built British saloons.
