A Steal on a Bugatti Veyron – Price Reduction to $800,000 [BUY NOW]

May 15th, 2010

Remember this Bugatti Veyron we showed up for sale on ebay a few months ago? The story was called “The Million Dollar Car Market Isn’t What It Use To Be……..“had the car for sale on ebay at $999,980 Buy It Now Price. Well if you re-visit the listing right now with only 4 days left they have dropped the Buy It Now price to $985,980.00.

I really love this color combination on the Bugatti but it seems they just cannot sell the thing. I got really excited when I saw that it was going for $800,000 now on Craigslist. Something tells me they wouldn’t sell it to you for this amount but we screen capped the ad anyway. Get a steal on one great looking Bugatti Veyron if you happen to be in the market. Pretty sure if someone closed deal at that price you would be looking at the cheapest Buggati Veyron in the world.

2011 McLaren MP4-12C in Orange Rear View

We just recently saw a video of Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton flogging, abusing, and “testing” the new McLaren supercar. We kind of liked it when McLaren and Mercedes were still releasing factory cars together but we can settle for the MP4-12C. Sadly 600+ people ordered the car a little too late since they have taken 1,600 orders and have intention of making 1,000 cars. Something tells me they will have some flakes so I think people will have no problem getting their hands on the car.

Craigslist Sale: Bugatti Veyron Chassis #80 at $997,000 – Worse than Ferrari Enzo on Craigslist

Bugatti Veyron for sale on Craigslist

Bugatti Veyron for sale on Craigslist

Jalopnik I am pretty sure a few weeks ago tracked down a Ferrari Enzo in Texas that was on Craigslist. An even more pathetic listing is this Bugatti Veyron for sale in Burbank, California. I love how these dealers list $1,000,000 cars on the same website with missed connections/casual encounters as their upper class super car. Then they complain about all the flaked buyers……….. perhaps upgrade your listing to Jameslist when you have some spare time? Enjoy the screen cap because we are guessing this will come down like the Enzo listing.

Jesse James - Flat Black Jaguar XJR

So everyone is busy calling him the worst man on earth blah blah but he deserves it for cheating on Sandra Bullock. Anyway, this is flat black Jaguary XJR with some excellent wheels packed with some pretty spot on fitment. While the Jaguar XJR is a lame car choice at least he did his up right.

Wolf Henzler was piloting the Falken Tire Porsche 997 GT3 when his passenger side rear wheel just shot off at turn three. It’s a crazy little video and his wheel ends up contacting one of the Corvette factory cars before flying way off track. The Falken Tire team looks much better for 2010 and even lead some of the race.
