A Texas Chevy dealer just accepted the trade-in of a red-on-black $1.6 million Bugatti Veyron for a $100,000 Chevy Corvette ZR1. We knew the fiercest of all 'Vettes was a world-beater, but this is ridiculous! Exclusive details below.
All American Chevrolet of Midland, Texas just made the mother-of-all-trades when it accepted a Euro-bombing 2008 Bugatti Veyron with just 20,307 miles for an unabashedly American Corvette ZR1. A new Veyron lists for about $1.6 million and a used one still costs in the range of $1.4 to $3.6 million depending on condition, trim, and rarity. A new Corvette ZR1, by comparison, starts at around $107,000.
And while the Corvette ZR1 only does 0-to-60 MPH in 3.3 seconds with a top speed of 205 MPH, compared to a 253 MPH top speed and 2.4-second 0-to-60 time, it doesn't cost more to run the ZR1 than to operate a private jet. Chalk that up in the win column because it certainly does with the Bugatti. Also, the Bugatti doesn't have the righteousness of an American-built supercar.
Suck it, Europe!

Im sure the Corvette is more practical to drive around town, but he should of sold the Veyron to someone and then bought the vette instead of trading it in.

So...
$1.6M new
$1.4M used
20k miles, $200k depreciation... That's $10/mile. Ouch.

$1.4 to $3.6 Million. I think $1.4 is for the one that went in the river.
