wouldn't that be awesome!?!

He still had to give some cash...who would do that

[dpinson]

thats f-n nuts man Midland,T.X. is less than twenty miles from me

[c5z28]

^Read closer the dealership payed a little cash on top hence they wouldn't buy it w/o lining up a buyer first.

If I had that money I would park that bitch and buy the zr-1 no sense in dropping a rare car.

Go steal it!!!

It's not about that to the owner. He saw a cool exotic car he wanted to drive and could afford, so he bought it. I mean the guy put 20k miles on it in about 2 years time.

Yah that was just me projecting what I would do, I just can't wrap my head around it most wealthy people don't get wealthy by doing shit like that. Must be nice i'm squriming just thinking about it.

Yeah, that amount of mileage/time on that sort of car is unreal. Most Lambos that are a few years old have hardly ever have more than 10k on the clock when they're being sold used (from what I've seen browsing listings).

But it is nice to know that such a nice piece of machinery is being enjoyed and used for what it was meant to, instead of sitting in a dungeon garage car collection underneath some mansion

[wheeliE-maxx]

If that was a Ferrari it wouldn't have made it to 21k miles

[bluehawk2000]

wish I owned a oil company lol, thats what I def need to invest a couple grand in is oil. Now I know what to do with some of the extra money from iraq!!!

[Transamws6]

Man thats awesome, in some aspects I can see why he traded it in. It had almost 21k on it and he had it for 2 years, he makes good money, i mean why not go ahead and try something a little different?

[wheeliE-maxx]

The veyron handles like a cruise ship, atleast in forza

[dpinson]

Go steal it!!!

HE DIDN't want to have to replace the wheels at 30k lol

-The engine is hand-assembled by two technicians in Germany and makes a minimum of 987 horsepower, even at high altitude or in high temperatures. In perfect conditions its output is closer to 1050 horses.
-With 12 radiators required to cool that monstrous engine and the other systems, the Veyron carries 26 gallons in fluids, excluding fuel.
-The Veyron might do 253 mph, but it can't cover 253 miles in an hour because at that speed its 26-gallon tank will run dry after about 50 miles.
- With a tread depth of just 4 mm, the tires need to be replaced every 10,000 miles and the wheels every 30,000 miles. Total cost? Around $73,000.- The seven-speed twin-clutch gearbox is made by Ricardo in the UK, shifts in less than 150m/s, and costs $172,000.
- The front grilles are made of titanium to withstand bird strikes at 253 mph. "At that speed, the effect could be disastrous," says an engineer. "We need them to arrive as French fries."
- The ultra-lightweight titanium bolts used to secure major components cost $85 each, and are thrown away if they are tightened or have to be removed for any reason.
- The paintwork is done by the same German company that worked on the BMW Z8 and Porsche Carrera GT, and takes two days to examine in a light tunnel.
- Only one piece of glass in 30 is deemed good enough to be fitted to the car; the rest are stored for spares and future restorations.
- For its 60,000-mile service, the Veyron must be split in half. The work can be carried out in just five locations, or a mobile workshop can be flown to your car. No Veyron has yet done more than about 30,000 miles.
- Three Veyrons have been terminally damaged in accidents: two in the UK, and one in Japan. Another was destroyed in the U.S. when the truck delivering it was involved in an accident. At least one has been repossessed by a finance company in the recession.

IIRC Bugatti is owned by Volkswagen these days. So you'd be very correct in that statement
