Is it a waste of money (presumably your rich) to get a Bugatti Veyron

Uh oh, I'm trembling!! 1. I agree to an extent - me personally, I would love to own a Veyron. However, I would have no idea how to service it myself just like I would have no idea how to service a Toyota myself. I love cars but I don't have the initiative to take one apart or at least attempt to service it by myself, so the fact that it's extremely hard to service your Bugatti without taking it to the "quarantine zone" (ha) doesn't really affect me. I would also love to just show off the amazing hardware when I pop the hood up. It's really all up to personal opinion, and I'm sure if you spent upwards of $2million, you would know you wouldn't be able to work on your own car, and you'd probably be okay with it when you're spending that kind of money. I kind of doubt (I could be wrong) that if you were able to work on or even look at the engine, that people would now be flocking to spend millions of dollars on a car.My opinion is that the "shiny bolts and cylinders" are nice to look at. 2. I'd like to just flat out call BS on your claim, but I'm not that mean ;) As it's both not backed up with any sources, and what I've seen is that there are only about 400 Veyrons in circulation, and only about another 50 more will be produced before the owners stop production [1]. If someone is wealthy enough to afford a Bugatti, and they like a Bugatti more, I don't think a car that's "less popular" would cause them to buy that over one that they want for many other reasons. I wouldn't buy a brand of clothing that is less popular simply because it's less popular.And now that I actually looked over your source, it does say 400. 400 cars is not a lot. Of course it's more than the 100 McLarens, but when you compare it to, say, Honda Accords, which are sold by the tens of thousands each month [2], it's not very many. That's like saying we have a lot of fingers (including our thumb) because other animals only have four, but it would be nothing in comparison to an animal that has a dozen (if we ever find one.) 3. A Veyron drops 30% in 6 years, (say it hasn't been driven other than off the lot.) Let's do some math. This [3] is the cheapest brand new 2010 Mazda 3. It's going for about $18,700. This [4] is the cheapest used Mazda 3, going for $9,500. That's almost a 51% depreciation. I know the used one has a few thousand more KM than the used Bugatti you're referring to, but it's hard to find a used car with less than 5km on it. Also, if you look around on Autotrader, you can find 2006 used Mazda 3's for as low as $3,500, and new ones for as much as $22,000. So depreciation is a percentage, of course $600,000 sounds like a lot for being used, but in the grand scheme of things, it's not as much as other cars will drop for the same amount of time.4. This is all up to opinion. I would prefer to drive a Bugatti. Saying "these look nicer to me, so why would you drive a Bugatti instead of these" is not a very strong argument, it's just your opinion. I could also make the same argument for any of the cars you mentioned, and say "would you rather drive the boring old Koeniggsegg One, or this beautiful Bugatti Veyron?" I do agree that the price is a lot, but hey - you're rich. It doesn't matter when you're rich. Nothing does. Get a Pagani Huarya as well as a Bugatti if you can't make up your mind!Thanks for this debate, you made me wish I could afford more than just one Bugatti ;) [1] http://www.topgear.com...
