Would you ever by a Veyron?

Assuming you had a net worth of $100,000,000.

Yeah no thanks

Nothing about it appeals to me. It would be more cumbersome to take care of and drive normally, does not tickle my fancy for any style of car I’d like to have.

9/10 times I’d take a Koenigsegg anyways lol

Yes. The reason VW made the car in the first place is because they wanted to show that they can. Partly for personal satisfaction, partly to show others.

The reason people buy them is because they can. Partly for personal satisfaction, partly to show others.

This is a car that 100% fits its target market.

I would for sure. It wouldn’t be the first car I’d have in my (small) collection, but I would love to have one.

A Veyron? In Saskatoon? Do you know what the roads would do to that thing? No thanks.

Not Boring: I’ll take this for $500k.

No, not my thing. A Rolls-Royce Wraith, on the other hand, sure.

No way. I could probably buy half of Dubuque Iowa for that money. And Dubuque looks better.

Meh. Even if I had unlimited money, a Veyron is pretty low on the list of cars I’d buy. I mean I wouldn’t rule it out, but I’ve got a lot of things to buy first

I’ve never been interested in it, so I don’t see it happening.

Probably for a year. Then I’d sell it. It was the Veyron challenge on Top Gear that got me into Top Gear so it’d be nice to drive and own one for a bit. Come to think of it, I’d probably just use if for half a year and then sell it. It’s not that pretty.

I could lots of Jukes for that price. I think they sold around $2,200,000 new, a well equipped new manual Juke is around $25k. I could buy 88 new jukes for the price of a Veyron. A good used Juke is around $12,000, you can buy 183 used Jukes for the price of a new Veyron. I know what car I buy.

I would like to drive one at speed, not a top speed run, but I’d like to see 200 in it. But I can’t say I’d ever purchase one...

Alfalfa > JR1 10/16/2017 at 20:51

Nope. I would certainly have a collection of money pits, but I’d pass on the ultimate money pit. It’s ugly, and not really that much faster than cars that cost half (or less) to purchase and maintain.

I just want to drive one. With that kind of money, I’d just start joining clubs where you can drive various things like that. Forget owning one. I’d probably own something relatively boring like a Singer 911.

Doubt it, too many other things higher on the list. You know, McLaren F1, P1, F40. Then there’s the land, the dream house w/ dream garage, personal race track maybe... Shit..I’m already broke.

I think this is the correct answer. Buy it, drive it around just to say you did, then sell it and buy something else.

IMHO you can’t improve on the OG DB9 or Vanquish

May rent, wouldn’t buy, just to see what it’s like to drive.

I would have no problem buying a Lotus (something I’d buy with less net worth, or better-yet, a Tesla Roadster), McLaren, Koenigsegg (the supercar maker I most identify with), or Aston Martin.

But let’s be real: A Tesla Model S P100D with ludicrous mode is a far more practical, likely, accessible, and faster choice, so I’d probably buy one of those so I could enjoy regularly. You always have more fun in the car you have with you than the car you don’t.

That’s my feelings

What bothers me most is I don’t think you can even drive this across the country on a grand tour without a major intensive service.

Are Koenigseggs legal is the US?

First time Singer and Veyron have ever been used together

Eric @ opposite-lock.com > JR1 10/16/2017 at 21:56

You know, I’m not sure. I’ve never seen one. I bet you could pull it off somehow, even I feel it were just a track car (which, let’s face it, it would be). I am fairly sure there are no dealers, so you’d need to go to some lengths to get one.

JR1 > SPAMBot - Horse Doctor 10/16/2017 at 21:57

It would be a fun car but a massive money pit

This is a good take.

A forced induction Bugatti? Yes. A Veyron? No.

1927 Type 35 supercharged.

I just looked it up. The CCX is street legal in the US. Ultra rare, though.

Would probably get a newer one and keep it exclusively for track use, as mentioned.

K-Roll-PorscheTamer > JR1 10/16/2017 at 22:08

Can’t improve on the Veyron either. But at least this looks better than the Veyron, and has plenty of noise and power to enjoy; plus a leftover $500k to do whatever you want.

No, I maintain that the veyron is a dumb supercar. Better options exist.

Meh, sure it’s fast but there are plenty of better looking cars out there, like a 2003 Camry.

No. though an engineering marvel it does nothing for me. Now an Agera or zonda, now we’re talking
