A bargain...surely?

[uzzi]

Just been browsing AutoTrader, looking up how much my dream garage would cost me (as you do...) and I came across this 'segg...at 200k it must be a bargain, no?

http://search.autotrader.co.uk/es-uk/www/cars/KOEN...

It's a good 140k cheaper than the next CCR - which is the same car albeit 1.8k less miles and an (arguably) more desirable colur.

So is this the bargain of the crunch or some sort of ploy?!

Flock me! £31,000 worth of servicing costs in just 3,800 miles! That makes even my Esprit seem economical!

[Mattymouse33]

Ouch

[evil_dr_fish]

£10 / Mile!

OMG its purple, am I to believe him if he says it will be his only car.... I can hear the but - it would look great with the purple Roadster and the purple Murci,

[jke11y]

I wonder how much of the £31k servicing was as a result of it being a hirecar....

Now you're just being plain stupid

[GALLARDOGUY]

i think that the big bills are due to it being upgraded from its original CC8S spec (655bhp) to CCX spec (805bhp).

With who?- never seen it amongst normal hire fleets.

Rio prestiage?

yep

The plate showing on that 'segg was worn on the white Veyron Top Gear had on the show which was also owned by Rio prestige - as I understand it Rio are trading no more.

Does that mean it could be a liquidators sale? Certainly seems cheap (all things being relative of course)!

[willcrookz]

Very cheap, might be worth a look.

[Wanta996Gotta]

It is the indeed Rio Prestige car hires Koenegsigg, they also have the Zonda and Spyker that featured in the Apprentice. All there cars are well looked after and i have heard no stories of any of them being in any incidents so could be a supercar bargain for someone and makes the LP640 at Lambo Birmigham at £185k look overpriced IMO.

I think they are getting re-branded or at least trying to make the business work differently as the news up North is that they have a Veyron coming for Hire. Northo(who posts here)would give you more information on the car.

The veyron was 69 KP I thought?

[Rob.]

You are correct and I stand corrected!

This was the one I got pictures of a few months ago.

Here is a more dynamic look at it.

Apparently, they tell me that it has been sold to a certain Diablo owning PH member.

lol, if you're talking about who I think you're talking about...he's the first person that came to mind when I found the car!

FWIW...

It's actually a CC8S. They only made about 6 or 7 of them iirc. Engine is the Ford F1 block and if my information is correct, the car has had all the CCR engine & suspension upgrades!
