You crack me up by thinking that you know everything, and are smarter than these developers.
Selling a house for $4.8M is less attractive than selling it for $4.99M with a Bentley GT, because the addition of the Bentley (although at the cost of the buyer) makes the whole package more interesting and desirable. The car itself will draw attention (which is why they will be putting it up for display) and will add to the lifestyle package that's for sale. When you buy a house your buying a lifestyle, this one of which comes with a Bentley.
It's kind of like when a father offers his future son-in-law an expensive gift to try to get him to marry his daughter. Obviously the gift would be far cheaper than the price of having a wife (lol), but it's HUMAN NATURE to go for the 'shiny' object even if it means having a far larger burden to get it. In this case, the gift is the Bentley, and the burden is the house.
