The Costs of Replacing Parts on a Bugatti Veyron Are Hilarious
The Costs of Replacing Parts on a Bugatti Veyron Are Hilarious-November 2024

Sometimes, you don’t have to tell jokes to be a comedian. Just take a look at the nearest , which can’t even talk—its maintenance prices alone are enough to keep you laughing quite awhile, whether that be in total denial or in the realization that, yes, people do spend $42,000 to replace .

Supercars like the Veyron aren’t just fast and cool for a one-stop price of $1 million or so. The hits just keep on coming, like the on the Veyron due to how complex it is to carry out, and regular maintenance on the vehicle that costs about as much as the average car.

Friend of Jalopnik Bozi Tatarevic found for recently that ran down the costs of replacement parts and labor on the Veyron, and, like the Veyron itself, they’re astronomically expensive. Parts listed on the EPA documents range from $9 camshaft position sensors to a $20,000 fuel tank, but labor is where things get ugly.

Only one of the replacements on the EPA documents is less than four digits in terms of labor, with labor to replace the powertrain control module running $680. Then there’s the labor to replace the $20,000 fuel tank, which is the price of an actual car at a cool $23,000. Here’s more, from Road and Track:

The intake manifold is sold in three pieces, with the upper portions for each bank coming in at $4,000 a piece, while the lower intake manifold costs $2,000. Labor to replace it is listed as being $1,800. In comparison, , and one for something a little more common like .

The W16 engine in the Veyron is fed by four turbochargers and, unsurprisingly, they are some of the most expensive items on this parts list. According to the prices that are listed, it costs $6,400 to replace each individual turbo and the labor involved comes out to around $9,000 per pair. The total repair price? More than $21,000 per side. The turbochargers feed air to a pair of charge air coolers which each cost $9,000, and labor comes in at $2,000 per cooler. The key is to get them both replaced at the same time, because then labor for the pair drops to $2,200.

Road and Track has plenty more breakdowns of costs , in case you needed to edit your “Used Bugatti Veyron” budget list—you know, for future reference.

For $6,000, This 2000 BMW 540i Is Said To Be Good As New
For many, the E39 was the last good-looking 5-series there was. For today’s , we’ve got one that’s said to also look like new, but will that and its six speed make its price a looker too? Considering it looked fun, interesting, and like an opportunity to roll your sleeves...

For $8,500, Could This 1983 VW GTI Be The Prescription For Fun?
Today’s GTI is literally just what the doctor ordered, That’s because the turbo’d car was originally built for a SoCal Sawbones. Will however, its current condition and price make it the cure for what ails you? Pretty much all of Sweden lies at a latitude farther north than any part...

For $6,500, This 1985 Maserati Biturbo is a Biturbo No More
The seller of today’s Maserati claims it to be the World’s cheapest V8 Maser. While we don’t need to call out the truth in advertising lawyers on him to ensure that’s true, we do need to determine if it’s in fact, cheap enough. In contrast to the recently advocated more...

How About $1,500 For This 1980 Toyota Celica ST Sunchaser?
How About $1,500 For This 1980 Toyota Celica ST Sunchaser?
There’s no truth to the rumor that this Sunchaser can only be driven towards the west. What is true is that this targa-roofed Celica needs some fixin’ and we’re fixin’ to find if it’s worth its asking in light of that. Really? Serious-balls? I’m speaking of course, to the 65%...
