Bugatti Veyron
Congratulations, you bought yourself a Veyron. May I interest you in a service plan?
To change the fuel tank $42000 (includes labour) There are 4 turbos, $6400 each, labour $9000 (for a pair?) 4 camshaft position sensor $9 each (shared with Golf), labour $7200 (all 4). Exhaust manifolds $2000 per side, labour $22000. 4 oxygen sensors <$300 (same as Passat), labour $15000 oil change? $20000-25000 (unconfirmed). https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-cul...-repair-costs/ I suppose if you can afford a $1.7 million car, these prices are chicken feed. Regarding the $42k fuel tank swap, I've never owned a car worth that much. |

I've never owned one worth one of the turbos.

Re: Bugatti Veyron
money is relative. the more you have the more its worth is valued by 0's. if your a multi millionaire and something costs £2500 its like saying £25 to the average person. dont forget the tax rebates..

Re: Bugatti Veyron
I think you could buy all the cars I've every owned for the $42000 needed to replace the Veyron's fuel tank.

Re: Bugatti Veyron
I'd expect a $42000 fuel tank to last a few years, not need replacing with every major service.

Re: Bugatti Veyron
Oh actually I'm telling a lie. My vomit yellow mini estate had a leaky fuel tank seam at the age of about 20. Was gonna get it repaired but replaced it in the end for er... £15 iirc. My dad fitted for nowt
