Hmmm, $70,000 for a set of tires that can only be installed in France? That’d be a deal breaker for me. I don’t have room in my garage anyway. ---

They’re subject to testing. See the attached link to various websites regarding that issue including videos of Veyron crash testing performance.

@Caddyman yes they have to get crashed They do not get a pass, AFAIK, if it’s being sold as a new car I believe the regulations are quite different for a used car, though I brought up used cars, because there are very well heeled individuals who buy exotic cars that were never sold as new in the US. ---

Really? A car you cannot put a set of golf clubs anywhere. No wonder it failed 😉 ---

I’m still willing to bet that these will appreciate in price significantly in the long run: - They were revolutionary when they came out. - Only 450 were sold - you can’t get much more limited edition than that. - They are unique and were collectors items even during their production run. - Even though it’s a VW, it’s also a Bugatti! Look at the prices vintage Ferraris and old muscle cars/unique vehicles go for at auctions… Personally I’d much rather have a Ferrari than the Veyron though. If we’re all still on this forum in 10 years, you can make me eat my words if they don’t go up in value. [Previous page](https://community.cartalk.com/t/bye-bye-veyron/89185.md?page=1)
