A Texas Chevy dealer just accepted the trade-in of a red-on-black $1.6 million Bugatti Veyron for a $100,000 Corvette ZR1. We knew the fiercest of all 'Vettes was a world-beater, but this is ridiculous! Exclusive photos, details below. UPDATE!

All American Chevrolet of Midland, Texas just made the mother-of-all-trades when it accepted a Euro-bombing 2008 Bugatti Veyron with just 20,307 miles for an unabashedly American Corvette ZR1 and some cash. Since a new Veyron lists for about $1.6 million and a used one still costs in the range of $1.4 to $3.6 million depending on condition, trim, and rarity, the dealership told us they wouldn't accept the trade-in until they lined up a buyer, which they did. A new Corvette ZR1, by comparison, starts at around $107,000.

And while the Corvette ZR1 only does 0-to-60 MPH in 3.3 seconds with a top speed of 205 MPH, compared to a 253 MPH top speed and 2.4-second 0-to-60 time, it doesn't cost more to run the ZR1 than to operate a private jet. Chalk that up in the win column because it certainly does with the Bugatti. Also, the Bugatti doesn't have the righteousness of an American-built supercar.

UPDATE: The Bugatti traded in belonged to Carlton Beal, Jr., who runs a petroleum company in Midland Texas. He's previously owned a Lamborghini Diablo and McLaren F1 but, despite this, a friend of his describes him as an "amazing down-to-earth person." We'd imagine if you've sampled a Veyron, Diablo and F1 you'd be interested in also trying an American-made car that can compete with them.

5a6ry agool what a jerk, but I don't know maybe he want to sell it but no body will buy it from him for a good price that's why he traded it in with a vette :p

[Ottoman]

it's car+cash

depends how much cash they gave him..

otherwise hes a complete and absolute dumba$$

[VIPER]

We are not talking about the cash we are talking about stepping down from a veryon to drive a corvette :p

lucky the new buggati owner :D

[-=<FOXXX>=-]

That does not sound so bad it just shows he's into homegrown cars :D

[JonnybravoM3]

This teaches 2 lessons:

(1) Money doesn't buy class;

(2) Money doesn't buy brains or common sense --- I mean surely a Veryon owner can ALSO buy a ZR1 if he wanted. Its not exactly "either one or the other" for these people. Maybe his warehouse is full?? If so, then he should just let Jeeves take the Phantom Drophead around to the back of the house.

[NOS4EVER]

the veryon was 5al9ah :)

Tarantado !!!!

[ZOSicK]

[Splash]

[Bu.shaheen]

wise yet stupid

[BLOODLINE]

a Veryon owner can ALSO buy a ZR1 if he wanted
True!!

I dont know what all the hype about the Veyron is, honestly i kilish dont like it. I mean come on what's the use of having a car that will only do its top speed for about 4 minutes at wide open throttle? 9ara7a i think that it is a complete waste of money no matter how much money you have. The ZR1 is a lot more fun hands down.

Veyron = no fun and cant really do much with it in terms of mods
ZR1 = Lots of fun and can be modded up the wazoo to take down a Veyron at a fraction of the cost

Besides the Veyron is a Volkswagen at the end of the day...think about it.

If i had that kind of money i would definitely buy a Maybach Exelero...if i could get my hands on one.

[Striker]

He can only have one car at a time!

[= STINGER=]

the ZR1 faster fel 1/4 mile..
but still its a buggati top speed king

hes right, there is a volkswagen hands on it..

[Quarantine]

seems like the guy is not that into cars and does not like collecting them despite his worth. He tried the Lambo, McLaren, Veyron, and now he wants to try the ZR1.

[ED]

A- Ninja is a fuking legend,
B- they guy got Cash + ZR1, it is just a way to get his 1,000,000 Dollars back and buying another car with out being taxed for it twice, the story is so not news worthy.

You cannot go wrong with a ZR1
