Bugatti Veyron. Never the fastest production car of its time became as popular like the Veyron. It was the first hypercar thus starting the hypercar age. It was $1M brand new. Having one is a real status symbol.

Apparently, its value dropped until the pandemic when it started to rise again as it is becoming a classic already. The first ones came out 18 years ago.

It’s interesting as reports coming from China and the EU are having blockbuster EV sales a few weeks ago with Norway leading with 80% EV local sales.

I drive an average of 150-200km~93-124mi per week. I mostly drive within my Metropolitan Area and sometimes the greater area and my home province.

There is no too many miles. There was a post here of a medic who does home bloodtests or bloodbag deliveries i think that punch in 2500mi a week.

My current car has clocked in 8000km~5000mi since I bought it last year.

It’s also the same here in the Philippines. Popular models here are jacked up in price too such as the Fortuner, Yaris Cross, Raize, 3rd Gen Innova, LC300, Avanza, Veloz. 25-40% of MSRP because they know people will still buy them.

Also if one pays straight cash there are no units unavailable but if he avails of in-house financing there are units available instantly.

I change every 10,000km (6200mi) or annually. Note I have a diesel Toyota (2KD-FTV).

The KD and GD series of Diesel Engines from Toyota. While it won’t break land speed records, it will take most pulling, reliability, ease of maintenance. Parts are everywhere. One of the reasons why it’s popular in Southeast Asia.
