Whilst Looking For A Car For Us,

I could not help but notice that,


as the new model Bugatti Veyron was out, it might be possible to buy a discounted old model, so I had a quick look at running costs, it was not pleasant, just a routine oil change meant draining the dry-sump oiling system with 16 different drain plugs, accessible after intricately removing parts of the underbody, which takes hours, refilling requires removing the car’s grill, rear fender liners and rear deck including rear brakes, the oil change which at $21,000 might seem expensive, but at least it only needs one oil change a year, and it you are wondering about why it costs so much watch the video below, 

you might want to do it yourself! so only once a year unlike the tires that have to be replaced every 2,500 miles, and here is the thing after 3 tyre changes you have to replace both the wheel and tyre , and you also have to replace all four at the same time, so new set of four wheels and tyres? the cheapest around £75,000! but some sources mention £100,000+  and if you travel an average of 10,000 miles a year that along with the oil change is a yearly cost, reading all of this I am so pleased we went with a Jaguar!
