Agreed I'm looking at all sorts of mad stuff here and the mileage is basically to the dealer for a service... I'd have that on 60k by now lol 600 mile per year rofl! Mental... what a waste. A car was meant for driving not just to wax and look at!
 
I would imagine the practicalities of driving such an expensive and desirable car would mean it would not be feasible for it to be driven to the shops for instance. You'll attract a huge crowd and wouldn't want to risk it being damaged.

I have no doubt that in 10 years time these will be worth a fortune.
 
I think if you are rich enough to be able to afford a Veyron you are rich enough to buy two.

One to sit in the garage and keep for ever and the other to drive.
 
You'd think the owner would tolerate the occasional £30 fine for no front numberplate rather than put that hideously shaped object on it :P
 
'This is a bargain, mad depreciation'

Seriously? Lets take a look at this.

When new, a Veyron 16.4 was £839k. This used example is 5 years old and yet is still £700,000. It has therefore retained a staggering 83% of its original value from new over the last 5 years.

This is epic depreciation - but the epic thing about it is how little its depreciated, not how much. Infact in terms of retained value the Veyron is potentially one of the slowest depreciating cars you can buy.

Probably because even the uber rich get sick at the thought of the running costs...
£193,231 over two years – roughly the average price of a terraced house – it is in its own league. Services cost £14,500 each, and the tyres, of which you will need roughly four sets over 25,000 miles, cost a ridiculous £25,000 per set. Bugatti also insist you change the wheels every fourth tyre change. Being made of magnesium alloy they cost £45,000.

3000 miles lol, probably couldnt afford to run it :P

If I had that much money I'd just buy a nice car for around 100k and pocket the difference!

edit; lol@ above, man why do people buy these things just to have them sit in a garage for 5 years

This was my thinking exactly. The only thing that I can think of off-hand which beats the Veyron in terms of awesome depreciation is a McLaren F1.
