Barry Zekelman paid the full $1.55 million price up front on a 2009 Bugatti Veyron, but days after Bugatti told him they weren't building one, he demanded a refund. Eight months later he's filing suit to get his money back

After placing his deposit of $427,935 on the $1.55 million vehicle, he paid in full last December. A few days later he was sent an email by the selling agent in Troy, Michigan he would not be receiving his 2009 Bugatti Veyron in Italian red, ever, they weren't making any more. To add insult to injury, Bugatti offered a 2008 model in place of his ordered 2009. At this point Zekelman decided he'd had enough and demanded his money back, and has gone on demanding for eight months with no satisfaction. He's had to file a lawsuit naming Bugatti, who's kept his cash in their coffers for the entire time, and is seeking a complete refund and all court and lawyer fees. This isn't the kind of thing you ever expect to hear about the buying process of the most exclusive supercar in the world.

Doesn't matter if this guy has $10 or $15 billion.

He paid for something and didn't get it so his money should be returned to him.

[Rated B]

I was just saying he's a billionaire in case people wondered how he could to afford the car. I know it is about the principal...

Well you don't become a billionaire by throwing half a million bucks away...

He's not pressing charges, he's suing.

[tiger_handheld]

sounds like he's a hundreds of millionaire since his brothers and who knows who else had a stake in that 3.5 billion

so he probably doesn't get to go to the billionaire summer camp just the millionaire ;)

[SkinnyPupp]

This whole thread deserves a :facepalm:

[thumper]

i don't follow bugatti that well so this is a potential noob question so... what was the reason given by bugatti for not building him a 2009 model? is there something about the 2008 model that was offered in it's place that is bad? (last year's model? used? not red?) :confused:

[SumAznGuy]

Can I sue Jah Al Zawahiri because this thread fails to deliver?

yes you can...but dont press charge on him tho

[shenmecar]

According to Top Gear. Bugatti makes a car for £1m and sells it for £500k, and they wonder, "How do we keep losing money???"

They made a limited amount of them... So no more are being produced.

They should be refunding him his money though. I dont think the lawyers will be able to come up with any defense as to why they arent paying him back.

[racerman88]

he should ask for his money plus interest

[bloodmack]

Id rather get the new lambo that came out it looks way nicer.Veyronns are nice and fast but they're too prestigious for my tastes lol. Seems like someone has alot of cash tho :P. He should of just took the 2008 bugatti and sold it.

[you!]

8 months wtff to the max

[skyxx]

^ That's normal for an exclusive car. Some people waited 2 years for an F430. Heck even my buddy waited about 7 months for his S40 back in 01? :lol

[laureate]

^ he didn't wait 8 months for the car, he waited 8 months for a refund

[shenmecar]

^ he didn't wait 8 months for the car, he waited 8 months for a refund

which he still haven't gotten back :haha:

[ajax]

he should ask for an 08 with 9282FNF35383.141592654bhp

[St00k]

that's nuts...

[JSALES]

wow, that sucks

[BMW135i]
