This doesn't mean shit,
"...for an unabashedly American Corvette ZR1 and some cash.
For all we know it could have been ZR1 + 1mil on top + tax savings
If it was a 1:1 trade then THAT'S something!
Just saying...

Plus they didn't take it on trade till they had a buyer lined up....so it's pretty much coming in, then leaving right away, and the dealership will walk away with some extra money for probably very little work.

That is not the point.
ZR-1 is still a Corvette, so many of them are out there, and it's cheap compare to Bugatti.
Who would want to drive a GT-R if you can afford an Enzo or McLaren F1? Same idea. Quote:

I can see where he's coming from
I'd rather drive a ZR-1 and beat the flying fuck out of it, then baby a veyron and pay like 30 g's for a brake job

The owner actually posted on NASIOC off topic, he's an 80 year old man that doesn't want to pay the maintenance costs anymore. He's also a religious fanatic and rich from the oil field, I think he mentioned the cost of owning one is over 150k+ /year. The craziest thing he said was how he has to get his tyres changed, they send his rims over to get x-rayed so that they can tell if it is still structurally sound every few thousand clicks, and then then have to be changed every 4th tyre service.
I really admire this guy, he's 80 and still rocking out on Ducatis too.

And the ZR-1 looks better anyway.... although with a Veyron, I would have traded it for a Ferrari or Lambo instead.

Honda Mugen Civic RR, the $47,700 limited edition Civic and only 300 units were produced. 
Now, compare that to Lamborghini Murcielago, over 4,000 of them were produced as of today, does that make the Mugen Civic RR 13.3 times more exclusive than a Murcielago? No, because it is still a Civic.
Same as ZR-1, a rare edition Corvette, but it's essentially a modded C6 Vette that we see everyday, just like Civic RR.

-Veyron will appreciate in value as its extremely rare.
-Each set of tires is 20K USD; changing the tires requires shipping to europe, costs $70K USD.

if you drive Veyron at WOT, the gas will only last 12 minutes and tires will only last 15 minutes...no joke.
