The Key Came Out: A Tale of Woe and Bentley Misadventures

I'm sitting here with the key, it's just staring at me, refusing to turn the ignition. I take a deep breath, insert the key, and... nothing. The engine won't start. No matter how many times I try, I just can't seem to get it to go. I check the manual, I'm sure I did everything right. But no, the car is stubbornly refusing to cooperate.

I get up and walk over to the windows, hoping that maybe they'll magically open and provide some fresh air. But as I approach the front window, I feel a sudden jolt of fear. The window has decided to break at this exact moment, shattering into a thousand pieces on the passenger side floor. I stare at it in horror, wondering what just happened. "What's going on with this car?" I mutter to myself.

I try to start the engine again, but nothing seems to work. The electrical issues are playing havoc with my poor Bentley. My instrument cluster is working fine, but sometimes the little LCD screen in there just goes totally dead. It's like the car is playing a cruel game of hide-and-seek with me. I'm starting to feel like I've got a tiny demon living inside this engine, refusing to be exorcised.

I take a deep breath and try to focus on the bigger picture. The car may be a mess, but it's still beautiful to look at. The leather interior is soft, the paint job is okay... but that's where the positives end. This car has been through hell and back, and it shows. I've tried to fix some of the issues myself, but it seems like no matter what I do, the problems just multiply.

Just as I'm starting to lose hope, my phone starts ringing. It's one of the guys from CarMax, the dealership that just happened to have bought this car from me for a paltry $4,000. I try to explain the situation to him, but he just laughs and tells me not to worry about it. "It's a great deal," he says. But I know better. This car is a money pit.

I take a moment to collect myself and calm down. Maybe I've been too harsh on this poor Bentley. After all, it did start once... eventually. I try the key again, and sure enough, it starts up right away. The engine purrs to life, and for a brief moment, everything seems okay.

But then I notice something strange. The car is vibrating like crazy. One of the drive shafts must be bad, or so I think. It's hard to say for sure, but one thing's for certain: this car is not for the faint of heart. Unless you've got a little bit of crazy blood in your veins, stay far away from Bentley projects.

I look over at my comment section, and I see that some of you are guessing how much CarMax offered me. Well, let me tell you: it was $4,000. Yes, you read that right. Four thousand dollars for a car that's essentially been broken into pieces and glued back together with twine.

But despite all the chaos and uncertainty, I have to admit: this experience has taught me something. When it comes to buying cars online, always do your research. And when you finally get your hands on one, never underestimate the power of a good exorcism prayer.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwell I've sort of hit rock bottom with this 2004 Bentley Continental GT after buying it for twenty-seven thousand seven hundred dollars last year making it the cheapest Conny GT in the USA at the time I finally admitted after months of discoveries and denials that the car was a lost cause despite just clean Carfax corroborating the low mileage on the odometer it actually spent ten years in Russia where a little digging show the old governor had been rolled back twice and it had been seized by the government at some point as if finding on the car really has around a hundred and fifty thousand miles on it isn't bad enough it also has tons of issues tons worst-case scenario the motor needs to be torn apart and a valve job perform but probably behind a used engine for $10,000 would be cheaper and easier and along with all this other weird issues and mechanical problems the fact that now that history is apparent and totally unveiled this car is totally worthless I've never been more screwed on a car in my entire life now it wasn't supposed to be this way as I explained in my last video I bought this thinking I was going to get a full mechanical inspection before closing the deal and discovered later that Bentley's were ineligible for post sale inspections through this dealer auction and network because I didn't rate the fine print it was totally my fault and I was on the hook to buy this car now people have suggested I should force the seller to buy the car back since he obviously knew about the shady odometer in history and all the issues but the auction house that would help me with this and facilitated a sale hasn't returned my calls or emails so that's never gonna happen so like I said before I'm screwed but even as horrible as this car is I got tons of emails from people after my last video offering to buy it I decided to offer my Bentley to those crazy people for half of what I paid for it at $14,000 it sounds fair right well not really it seems like most people who come to their senses at this number and I've never heard from any of them again they would run far far away so I've sort of hit rock bottom at this point and was thinking I'll send it to some salvage auction where people like to buy projects but first I was kind of curious what Carmack's would have to say as you all know Carmack will make an offer to buy any car for cash anything and they did make a pretty generous offer my basket case 1984 Chrysler LeBaron so I was curious how much they would offer on the most effed up Bentley in the world so I decided to swing by and give them a chance to act my Bentley but getting it there was really challenging getting it started and moved from here it was was a massive undertaking take a look will it start he stuck some life.now system palm workshop thanks okay the key came out please start engine I would love to start the engine there's another one over here maybe little juice is gonna help this thing come on come on you can do it no really the key stuck again come on wake up all right that makes no sense but it started where the windows doing all right the power of Christ compels you the power of Christ compels you today it's deciding to smoke like a chimney we never know when it's going to smoke but today is the smokey day no no no no those salt don't stall okay we're off keep moving don't stop don't stop come on there's smoke in the cabin okay all right we're out right still smoking like crazy all right the back left window is just chosen this moment to break go down but it won't go up we definitely need an exorcism prayer here losing phone service for no reason almost like it's blocking reception so it can't hear this most glorious Prince of the heavenly armies Saint Michael of Archangel defend us in our fabulous inst principalities and powers against the rulers of this world of darkness against the spirits of wickedness in high places smoke are you crying about this Bentley this Bentley has totally lost its mind where the battery voltage gets low because all the fines haven't seen they eat the key it's stuck in the ignition for some reason the left rear windows rolled down refused to go up and sometimes one wife or just started to go on full speed while the other one does nothing right now my instrument cluster is working but sometimes the little LCD screen in there just goes totally dead totally dead that's just the electrical issues this thing drives drives horrible it's obviously in some kind of limbo mode and the check engine coats link that to some kind of turbo actuation issue along with a vacuum leak but you've also got a really bad vibration like one of the drive shafts is bad that combo together makes this thing a miserable car to drive that's a noise it really is a shame because this car is beautiful to look at and it is in pretty nice condition but would still has a luster the interior leather is still soft and the paint really isn't all that bad it's been repainted before but it was an easy job his park presents itself with something beautiful but underneath it is a toll mess it is a nightmare whoa boy that was in the bedroom let's see what these guys have to say so I didn't film inside the car max but they did drive the car go through it thoroughly and gave me an actual offer and I'll give you a minute to guess in the comment section what that number is in the meantime here's a message from our generous sponsor I'm very lucky to have the movement watch company as they continue sponsors since I make horrible financial decisions like this craptastic bitly I just received their brand new monochrome edition of my favorite desert model and unlike my Bentley you'll be very happy buying this watch sight unseen online I like these watches because of their modern take on classic designs there are reasonable prices and I also identify with the founders of the company they dropped out of college with a crazy idea and built a company from scratch that is now sold over a million watches in over 160 countries it really is a clean design and I've seriously been getting compliments ever since I put them on and you can get yours too for a nice discount by going to nvm T comment using the code of movies 15 for $15 off I've also done pretty well giving these as gifts to my girlfriend for example yes she's real and keeps saying she's real and you guys don't believe me so heat movement watches and accessories in mine because they make great gifts as well go to mV ng calm and support this channel by using the code movies 15 for $15 off as now is the time step of your watch game now back to this steaming pile of doodoo so what do you all think did they offer $15,000 no $10,000 no 75060 5 still lower the number was actually $4,000 yeah yeah $4,000 so with the wheels that I put on and the shipping from Chicago to Kansas I would lose 25,000 dollars selling this car to car max obviously that's not gonna happen and you can stop right there I can already see my email getting blown up with offers of $5,000 and that's just never ever going to happen else set this car on fire before I do that but really though I'll probably end up selling it at a salvage auction for somewhere in the teens but who knows this thing is a huge mess and unless you've got a little back to Baris
