So in plain English - what you pay for a used Mercedes s class as cheap as it is, the repairs on vital components like shocks, struts, engine components can exceed anywhere from $10k to $20k and up to $30k.

      Not only is it the in-depth inspection of _literally every structural component_ on the car that savagememes873 mentioned, but the Buggati's have multiple drain points and inspection ports that have to be serviced every single time. Take a new Ford F150 with a 5.0L to a Ford Dealer for just an oil change, it's $100 and a 30-minute wait because it takes 15 minutes just in drain time. On the Cherion, half the underbody gets disassembled. That truck just gets a felt panel removed.

    Fun fact: with a full tank and brand new tires, you'll only get 10 minutes at top speed. While the tank drains to empty in 13, the tires only last 10 minutes before becoming fully worn out and dangerous.
    the Bugatti oil change is partially that high due to it taking 2 days to do, requires a partial engine drop, and mechanic having to reach something like 20 drain plugs. the tires are bespoke Michelin tires designed to keep grip and not explode at speed, you're paying for the R&D and being the only tires for the car. the rims share a lot of DNA with F1 rims, which only last a single race before having to be scrapped and remade. the brakes are bespoke as well, and made of a lot of exotic materials.
    Basically, Bugatti's are designed to be looked at, maybe taken to its limits once and then put away, more than actually daily driven.

    5:16 apparently the reason why Bugatti oil changes are so damn expensive is because there are about 13 oil drain plugs hidden throughout the engine bay of the car. You need to completely disassemble the rear end of the car just to drain all the oil out, then you need to replace the oil filter (which I’m sure was developed exclusively for this car, which is more money), then you need to reassemble the rear end of the car refill the oil before you can even get going again

    Really liked Michael's input. It's funny (and usually appropriate) to point fingers at large corporations and laugh about their greediness, but it's also neat to be reminded of the very real technical reasons behind certain compromises. Like the bit about the McLaren engine placement for example. Obviously there's a financial incentive to making it difficult to work on, but the architecture of a midship supercar also just makes it inherently difficult, as you'd have to compromise on cooling, weight distribution, drag etc. if you wanted to make it more accessible.

    The reason there are so many abandoned expensive things (not just cars, yatchts and luxury apartments are also very common) are abandoned in Dubai is because going into extreme debt is considered theft and what they call "aggravated theft" (We in the West call it grand larceny) is a death penalty crime punishable by firing squad.
    Fun fact, this also extends to the abandoned property of debtors as it is still considered owned by them even if they couldn't afford to take it with them into exile.
    So attempting to repo those abandoned cars would be considered "aggravated theft" (grand larceny) and get you put in front of a firing squad.
    The UAE is a massive human rights violation.
