Surprise! The Price Of A Set Of Lights For A Bugatti Car Equivalently Buys 12 Avanza Units

JAKARTA British automotive YouTuber Matt Armstrong was surprised after learning about the cost of repairing Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport, which had just had an accident in Miami, United States. Apparently, his car spare parts reached billions.

Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport itself is a super rare car which is only produced by 60 units worldwide, which has a fantastic price. The car is priced at around US$3.6 million or equivalent to Rp59.7 billion.

However, when Armstrong traced the list of spare parts prices from Bugatti, he was quite surprised. A set of front lights units alone is valued at around 150 thousand euros (equivalent to Rp. 3 billion).

With this money, you can buy 12 units of the cheapest variant of Toyota Avanza at IDR 243 million. In fact, it can still get a return of IDR 24 million.

Meanwhile, the hood of the engine made of carbon fiber reaches 50 thousand euros, around Rp. 1.1 billion. In fact, the chrome frame around the front goal is set at up to 80 thousand euros or around Rp. 1.8 billion.

"In fact, I was surprised when a colleague in England mentioned the numbers," Armstrong said in his latest video, quoted from Carscoops, Monday, October 20.

From the results of the examination, the damage suffered by Chiron Pur Sport was severe, especially in the carbon monocok chassis section. As a result, the insurance party will most likely declare the car a total loss or not worth repairing.

Armstrong added that many spectators suggested that he not continue the restoration project.

"This sounds like a huge financial suffering," he said with a bitter smile in the video.

The situation is getting more complicated because Bugatti refuses to sell spare parts to individuals who are not official customers. The French company confirmed that the car could only be repaired directly by the Bugatti team at their official facilities in France.

Therefore, Armstrong's Chiron Pur Sport unit is planned to be auctioned off by Copart in the near future. This case is proof of how expensive the cost of ownership of extreme supercars like Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport is, as well as on-board maintenance and repairs.
