Owner sold it, only to turn around and pick up a VW microbus at BJ.

Yes, Ron Pratt correct....my bad.

Not a rental. Several sources indicate the car was originally owned by a well known collector in Indianapolis who chose to use it frequently, including in a cross-country rally called the Great American Run in 2007, hence the miles.

Wrong place to sell a Veyron. Should have gone through RM...

So, $700k for a Veyron, or how much again for the Lexus LF-A? Mmm, tough call....

The running costs for this car are insane. even if you buy it cheap you still have to shell out 300k a year to keep it. that got to be a bummer for potential buyers.

I know the factory says you have to change this and that ever so odd many miles, but do you really have to? Just like guys at Porsche will tell you to change your oil so many miles, but the oil doesn't really need to be changed that often. What I am trying to say, is that is there any proof that items(rims) need to be changed every so many miles? Or is it just a way for Bugatti to recoup some of the lost cost for every car sold?

gmaccormack is an unknown quantity at this point
the factory suspositly checks the rims for stress cracks when they are changed but idk i think the high cost are a way to make back the money they loose on each car. i mean only the super rich buy veyrons so i dont think they care about the cost of driving

I watched this happen live and thought that was crazy cheap for the car. I also said WTF that guy looks like an idiot how the hell does he have any money.
