> edit–just read the article. guy who owned the car seems like a car guy. buys and drives shit, then off loads them. owned a mclaren f1 and some expensive italians. seems more like he got bored w/ the car. either way he probably got a free vette out of the deal. by time he bought the bugatti, drove it for x miles/time–traded it in and got paid–the paid amount probably covered his initial cost of ownership and enough money to pay for the vette. as the buggatti keeps going up in price. i highly doubt he took a hit on the deal.

dont forget the luxury tax 😉
