Jenson Button's Bugatti Veyron up for sale
A third-hand Bugatti Veyron, currently owned by championship leader Jenson Button, has been put up for sale in Auto Trader magazine. The 'hyper car', which reaches top speeds of 253mph (407kph), yields an incredible 987 brake horse power and is on offer for the discounted price of just under £900,000…
Translating to €1.04m or US$1.47m, the all-black Volkswagen-made vehicle has racked up little more than 1,500 miles so far with its horsepower output being approximately 200 more than the Brawn GP-Mercedes BGP001 which Button drives on the race track.
The car is up for sale at Steve Hurn Specialist Cars in Suffolk's Stowmarket and is therefore no longer part of the Englishman's collection, which includes a Brawn-owned Mercedes C63 and Ferrari Enzo amongst others such as a city run-around Smart.

The price is £900K is not a steal deal considering that new Veyron's list price in UK is £975K. And this Veyron is third hand car as mentioned in article. I am sure that used Veyrons market is not active, if someone have enough money, he will order brand new, at least until Veyrons are in production.
