Veyron Maint Costs (stop being poor!)

https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-cul...-repair-costs/

some good take aways from this article:

-yes the parts are expensive, but the labor is where they really get you.
-cheapest parts are shared with VWs (like a $9 cam sensor, although 7.2k to replace all 4 on the car. LOL)
-2k per exhuast mani, 22k each in labor to replace. this does not sound like a fun car to work on.
-ECU is only 550. a bargain!
-42k in parts and labor for the fuel tank.

here is something i found on jalopnik regarding the fuel tank:
Quote:
Heggemann aerospace also manufactures Veyron’s fuel tank which took almost 4 years from design to actual model. It took that long as Veyron fuel tank needs to pump fuel 8 times more faster than normal fuel tank (and with constant pressure up to 1.4G). It takes 3 days to weld the fuel tank of Veyron with 250 different parts, 5 times the number in normal car’s fuel tank.
