TrentS Report post Posted September 26, 2010 Just saw a veyron go at $700k in the barret jackson auctions on tv... I believe it was live?! No reserve so I was definitely sold. Same color combo as Rob's. Yeah, it was live... Here's the listing and pics Sold for $700,000 (hammer price), but did you catch the drama a few minutes later? Apparently the "buyer" had cold feet or something. They were vague at first, but then said he didn't think he was the high bidder, which he clearly was. In the end they kicked him out and Craig Jackson said he'd take the car himself for the same price since it wasn't the consignors fault, so it did sell, but sold to the auction company. The high bidder looked like a douche and appeared pretty nervous and shocked when the bidding was over. He had some fat chick next to him who was all excited though. I'm wondering if he was bidding trying to impress the fat chick or look like a big man on TV and got caught out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bet is that he was acting like a baller and trying to impress people thinking the bidding would go well past 700k and all of a sudden he wins the bid war at 700k and freaks out.

VBUGKING Report post Posted September 26, 2010 The bidding at first was up to 750k, but then it got dropped back to 700k, theres a 10% fee added, so it ended up selling really at 770k. They said on the program that the yearly maintenance was 100k, dunno where they got that info. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin2772 Report post Posted September 26, 2010 Looks like Tim Durhams old one. Then again there are a handful of black and silver ones around. But I do know his got sold or repoed or whatever it was when his scandal fell to pieces. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfunk0424 Report post Posted September 26, 2010 http://automotive.speedtv.com/article/auto...buyer-backs-out There is an embedded video from the auction at the bottom. You can see the guy that won the car at the very end. What's up with them not being able to get it into reverse? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

UTCOBRAS Report post Posted September 29, 2010 To get bidding credentials at BJ you have to pay a $9k deposit and that is only good for bids up to $90k. Is the dude walking away from his deposit? Do you think BJ will go after him? The bidders agreement makes it clear that they can go after you if you back out. I wonder how successful they would be.

Murci147 Report post Posted September 29, 2010 Apart from the "funny" or rather "tragic" story, lets state, that would have been the lowest price a Bugatti Veyron would have been sold so far $ 770'000.00 including commission Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zlaatan Report post Posted October 4, 2010 Here's one owners view of the maintenance costs.. http://jalopnik.com/5449046/veyron-owner-f...-travel-cheaper Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swil Report post Posted October 8, 2010 I call BS. Not on the cost but the "routine" intervals. Think about it, the tires are strong enough to withstand 254mph but they can't handle 20k miles? Unless the guy is daily driving it shouldn't have a problem with spending $40k every couple years or so. And the routine service...Wha, every year? Maybe Rob can chime in to give some insight.

Placid Report post Posted October 8, 2010 And the routine service...Wha, every year? Required to keep the warranty valid I think. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swil Report post Posted October 8, 2010 Required to keep the warranty valid I think. Ah, didn't think of that. Wait, but it's really NOT that much money. If you own a million dollar item, what ever it is don't you think 21k is reasonable for maintenance?? Look at a million dollar house. Yearly maintenance is AT LEAST $21k. So again....why is that guy bitchin'? It's 2% of cost. That's like a $1,000 yearly service on a $50,000 Merc it's all relative...That guy is a tool.

Allan-Herbie Report post Posted November 23, 2010 The prices are going DOWN... You can buy them for MUCH less than a Mill... And I bet the out of warranty cars will cost MUCH less to take care of then people think.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I bet the out of warranty cars will cost MUCH less to take care of then people think.. So, you think that the price will go down to 400-500$ in a few years? I don't think so. As soon as the production finishes, prices will rise every year...as is the case with McLaren F1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I bet the out of warranty cars will cost MUCH less to take care of then people think.. I agree with up keep prices being a lot less than what the factory charges now, but parts are going to expensive and hard to come by.

As soon as the production finishes, prices will rise every year...as is the case with McLaren F1 I believe it will be a LONG time before prices start to rise, and these cars can be bought used NOW in the 750K range..

DickSimmons Report post Posted November 24, 2010 I'm pretty sure, that the price will rise every year... So, this could be a good investment! No way. Price will go down, and by the time it ever goes up (which it probably won't,) the cost of inflation would have made it a terrible investment. McLaren F1 is a completely different thing. IMO, no one will be talking about the Veyron in 20 years like they do the F1. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rob Burgundy Report post Posted November 24, 2010 Im with the others saying the price on this will go down. I bet in 5 years time you'll see them hovering around 600-650k with 20k miles Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
