Guy who traded Countach for his dream Veyron has an issue with his Bugatti that would cost $4500 to even look at

A car enthusiast from Kansas, USA, traded his Lamborghini Countach for his dream Bugatti Veyron – but his new supercar soon proved more expensive than he’d bargained for.

Once the fastest car in the world, the Bugatti Veyron boasts 16 cylinders, 4 turbos, and 1,000HP.

Of course, with great (horse) power comes great responsibility.

Meaning that a mere inspection of his car when an issue arose set him back $4,500.

Expensive Lamborghini Countach vs Bugatti Veyron trade

Tyler Hoover, aka Hoovie, of Hoovies Garage swapped out his Lamborghini Countach for a 2008 Bugatti Veyron.

What’s under the hood means it’s a complicated bit of kit.

So when multiple warning lights – namely a check engine light and a low coolant light – appeared shortly after the purchase, he knew it was going to sting.

He just didn’t realize how much.

The new owner of Bugatti Veyron recently broke down the cost of repairs.

An oil change in a Bugatti Veyron costs more than most people’s cars.

The Bugatti Chiron is just as expensive.

The eye-watering cost

The dealer offered a $4,500 inspection, but Hoover politely declined.

“I went no, no thank you,” he explained.

“Costs are $400 per hour of labor, $115,000 for routine services, and $1,000 just to inspect the airbag light.

“Now the reason for that crazy price is because they have to take the car apart to really inspect everything.

All the underbody panels, all the back panels, the bonnet you can’t just pop the hood on a Veyron – it’s a process.”

His local mechanic ‘Car Wizard’ in Kansas managed to give it the once over – although he was hesitant due to high insurance costs for working on a Bugatti.

Turns out the check engine light was due to a significant evaporative emissions (EVAP) leak.

Meanwhile, filling up the gas tank triggered additional system errors like ‘system too lean’ and misfire codes.

Turns out that the problems were caused by a stuck-open purge valve – and it’s replaced for a fraction of the cost.

Turns out disassembling and reassembling the supercar was easier than expected and he’s soon on his way with its roaring and powerful engine allowing seamless acceleration beyond 200mph (322km/h).
