I remember my first look at the awesome Bugatti Veyron. It was on an episode of Top gear where Jeremy Clarkson drove the beast of a machine from Italy to the UK in a race against his co-hosts, Richard Hammond and James May who were doing the same route in a small passenger plane. After watching that episode and hearing all about the car, I thought to myself: "That would be an awesome car to own!" For this reason I own many Bugatti Veyron... Pics! It turns out however, that even if you can afford the enormous Bugatti Veyron price tag of the car, chances are you won't be able to afford to maintain it.
If you manage to find a car dealer in your vicinity that actually has a Bugatti For Sale, you could expect to pay about $2,128,230 for the car. Once you have plucked up the courage to pay for the car, you need to be prepared to pay for the service plan which will set you back about $20,000 a year. $20,000 for an annual service is almost 8 times the amount it would cost you to service a Ferrari Enzo. OUCH! The Bugatti uses tailor made tires which manufacturers advise you replace every 2500 miles. Replacing the tyres will set you back about $10 000 - EACH! That's $40 000 per set of tyres. The manufactures of the Bugatti Veyron (who clearly think money grows on trees) also advise that you replace the cars wheels every fourth tyre change to ensure optimal performance and safety. Not a problem, I'm all for safety. However, when wheels cost $60 000 to replace then I think I'd rather just take my chances with the ones I already have.
