Former Koenigsegg Buyer Says $1.6 Million Agera R Is 'A Hunk of Shit' (http://jalopnik.com/former-koenigsegg-owner-says-2-5-million-agera-r-is-a-489316580)


The Koenigsegg Agera R is hand built by craftsmen in Sweden. Every example appears to be a work of art, and reviews tend to say that too. But one former owner says it's the opposite. In fact, he says the Agera R he was buying was "a hunk of shit." Koenigsegg doesn't see it that way.

old article but interesting.
Here's the dude they are talking about: Instagram (http://instagram.com/8bc8)

[Gridlock]

So just to be clear...the fine folks at Jalopnik, known for their journalistic integrity since domain registration in 2009 are blogging a story lifted from internet forum bullshit/gossip and building it into a story just because its about a suped up koenigszeggrittenauschwitzbeetle instead of a turbo civic.

Snore.

This guy also crashed a rented Mclaren during the Goldrush rally.

If you visit the actual forum where the thread was started (Luxury4play.com) you will see the actual owner BC (Benjamin Chen) complain about it. Even in the article you can see posts from him on the forum. Jalopnik did not make anything up with their journalistic integrity.

"the transmission was dog shit, it felt like I was only driving a $400,000 car".

Hahahaha, Ben Chen strikes again.

:lol

Who cares. The average joe will still be more than happy to take their sloppy seconds.

LOL BC is awesome to read.

:lawl:

Well LFA and Aventador's transmission might actually be better than Koenigsegg...or can he even actually tell the difference?

[Ferra]

so the guy paid $1.5 mil for a car, made a bunch of requests, drove the prototype, didn't like it / don't want to wait anymore...
1 year later, he gets all his money back PLUS interest, and he is still mad going apeshit on the company..

damn...rich people are hard to please..:fuckthatshit:

The character comes across as a bratty, overprivileged kid, without considerable experience with life, business, or cars.

The opinions the character presents are thus meaningless; I am not arguing a highly privileged young person's opinions are by default meaningless, I will note.

One may say, BC's opinions are simply equivalent in quality to his writing.

No, I get what's happening.

The reason I worded that the way I worded it is over the years of going to different forums and my experiences with some of the asshats that populate them is the only reason that Jalopnik is making a story out of this is its one guy one one forum and it happens to be a Koenigzegg instead of a Chrysler.

It's a non-story. It's forum bullshit. This guy just happens to have more money than others to play at a different level.

This story is meaningless to anyone. This guy thinks the car is dog shit. Yippee! They gave him his money back, seemed pretty fucking polite about it and called it a day. That's a lot better a deal then the Chrysler kid gets when he makes a rant on "econocars4budget.com" about how its dog shit. His car company says, "suck on a ford next time then"

Check out BC's driving skills.

He sounds like one of those second generation, rich kids from mainland China. The kind of guys that inherited their wealth from Mommy and Daddy. -didn't make a dime of their money from hard work and intelligence. The only difference is that his proficiency in speaking English is a little better than the China kids.

[pastarocket]

This BC dude tried to challenge former NFL player Chad Ochocinco to a fight:

Some luxury4play member Benjamin Chen wants to fight Chad Ochocino cause Chad posted a potentially photoshopped pic on Instagram of him sitting on Chen's Veyron... proceeds to call Ochocinco a "monkey" and a "peasant" while his jockriders on his forum question whether Chen was being racist and also declaring that the chubby kid could stand his ground against a 6'1" NFL player.

Here's the fat, rich kid. I would put my money on Ochocinco (Chad Johnson) to whip this boy's ass:
