I know it's exclusive and incredibly expensive to maintain, but I wonder whether people think it will plateau or keep dropping to find a natural lower level. It doesn't seem to have the desirability of an Enzo, McLaren F1 or Zonda?

I beleive they all remain th eproperty of bugatti, and it is likley that they would take possesion of the car if it was treated so badly as to need so many parts replaced that it drops below £100k (even the shell alone of an uncrashed one will probably always be worth more than £100k)

I doubt it. Take unpopular 4 seat Ferraris as an example. They come out around £200k and settle about £40-50k. So if the Veyron followed the same path it would settle around £250-300k which given its eye watering costs to maintain might be about value. They are currently £600k and not selling super fast at that rate bu I would imagine the plateau will be £400k give or take 50.

I don't think this is the case at all.

And they might come down a lot, but I wouldn't expect to £100k - high miles wouldn't help one, but remember there are even fewer of these than Enzos.

Im not sure they all remain the property of bugatti, never heard that one, also, there are way more than there are Enzos, only 400 of them made so at least twice as many bugs.

If 300 is at least twice as much as 400, yeah! hehe

The coupe was limited to 300 units. I think the 300 includes all the special editions of the base 16.4, then you have 30 more SS versions. That might be included too - I don't know. I recall them saying at one stage that they were going to make 150 Grand Sports, but I really can't imagine they've sold that many yet, or even if they will at all.

Given that they averaged about 40 coupes a year, and there have only been half as many Grand Sports on offer for two years, it'd be reasonable to say that there's probably around 350 cars sold total.

What's the highest mileage Veyron? Anyone using one for a 30k per year commute?!

Add in a few one offs...

Well like I said, I'm not sure whether or not the special editions are included in the 300 coupes or not. But there have only been around 30 of those anyway.

It probably costs £100k to run it regularly.

No chance it'll drop that low.

imagine running costs at around 200k in just tyres and wheels (best case) + 30k in fuel + 40k services.

4-seater Ferraris can be had for less than 20k for something like a V12 400i (if that flicks your switch; oddly it flicks mine), but I'd agree that 450k sounds about right for the bottom projected level of a Veyron. I remember Tom Hartley stating a couple of years ago that he expected to sell good Veyrons in a few years for 600k ("good" in Tom Hartley terms = "mint" BTW)
