It's weird that so many second hand Veyrons have such low mileage on them. Obviously it's not the driving costs as if you can afford it in the first place the cost of petrol is not going to scare you.

I suspect it is not just Bugattis but many supercars have low mileage. Why would somebody buy a supercar and not drive it?! Seems such a waste...

i think the 25grand for a set of tyres does put people of using them somewhat especially when it can knock them out in 4000 miles

Cos people who can afford £1m on a car probably don't have much time to spend driving? Rarely in the same country for long?

Really like the colour scheme on this one. 255mph, roof off action, incredible engineering, other-worldly acceleration and braking.. what's not to like? You can have a few other cars in your stable for other needs.

Try running a decent sized yacht and the Veyron suddenly seems very economical. Filling up the tanks for a cruise will cover more than a few sets of tyres.

The solution is simple, buy a Veyron and find a friend with a nice boat
