An oil change in a Bugatti Veyron costs more than most peopleâs cars
⢠The Bugatti Veyron is one of the most exclusive cars on the market
⢠You might know how much it costs to own one, but do you know about maintaining one?
⢠The price of an oil change might surprise you!
Real estate mogul and car collector Manny Khoshbin owns three Bugattis and just revealed what he forks out each year to keep them.
âLet me give you a little insight, itâs not pretty,â he said. First up, Khoshbin said Bugatti recommended the oil and all fluids be replaced annually. For his Veyron, Khoshbin said this alone costs him $25,000. Why is it so expensive?â Because a normal car has one drainage plug, but this car comes with 16 different drainage plugs, and guess what, theyâre not easily accessible,â he said.
Khoshbin explained that to replace the fluids, a Bugatti technician had to remove the rear wheels, the rear brakes, the lining on the fenders, and the underneath lining of the car in order to access the 16 drainage plugs.
âIt doesnât stop there, now we go to the tires,â he said. Khoshbin said the tires for his Veyron cost $38,000 to replace âand Bugatti recommends they be replaced every few yearsâ. The tires werenât even the worst of it. âThe rims are the painful part,â he said.
The real estate entrepreneur said Bugatti recommended replacing the rims every 10,000 miles. And to do that, it would set you back another $50,000. So, thatâs $25,000 a year for the oil and fluid change, $38,000 for tires every two to three years, and $50,000 for the rims. If you add that up, it totals well over $100,000.
The sad part for me, is Iâve got more than one Bugatti,â he said. âIâm starting to wonder, âwait a minute, do I really need three Bugattis?â thatâs a lot of money.â After less than a second of consideration, Khoshbin dismissed his concerns, saying âthereâs nothing like owning and driving a Bugatti, and to be fair, all three Bugattis are completely differentâ.

I've watched Manny for years on You Tube, he's a car nut. As a retired new car dealer (speaking for the industry in general) he's my type of guy... Can you say - Cha Ching!!!!

Hi Foooooooker! :-* Very cool! 8) If anyone would know cars, it would be you. I watched a couple of videos after reading this article as well. I was blown away about how much his maintenance fees are. :-\ This guy certainly has to be filthy rich to own three Bugattiâs!
