eBay Auction of the Day: 2008 Bugatti Veyron 16.4
Though it’s not even our birthday, we’ve found an excellent way for the very wealthy Lewis Hamilton to celebrate his. This 2008 Bugatti Veyron 16.4 for sale on eBay Motors would do very nicely, even if it is a bit on the spendy side.
Veyron chassis #89 is for sale in the Chicago area, and looks to be in pristine condition with a paltry 309 miles rung up so far. The car’s exterior is almost sinister in its black on black finish, along with Antrazit leather on the “Large Sport-Comfy Seats.

I can't imagine spending $1 million on a car, but if I were going to, I'd be thinking McClaren F1, not the Veyron.
The Bugatti folks had a shape, that was relatively pretty, but not very aerodynamic. The engineers were told it had to go 250mph. That meant lots of power, given the aerodynamics. So, it's got something like 12 radiators (1000 hp is a lot of heat), and will run something like 50 miles at top speed before it burns through its entire tank. Kind of like a man-made diamond. With enough engineering effort, and enough energy expended, you can do just about anything.
The fact that it has all of 309 miles on it says a lot. The folks that bought these, bought them for status, not to drive. I'd bet it was a trader, either option or commodity, that bought it. Market's moving against him, so now it's time to sell it.

Black on black? The multi hue color scheme was one of the nicest features of this model. This one looks like just another expensive sports car, which is not what you want for that kind of money! Speaking of which, if the seller is making as much money as he says they are, you think they could afford the time to take some better pics. The interior is a disappointment too. I can’t believe they were able to make such an exquisite car look so pedestrian. Whoever ordered it should be ashamed, and Bugatti gets a slap on the wrist for letting them do it!
