Manny Khoshbin, a popular U.S. entrepreneur, blogger and car collector, did not sell his 16-year-old Bugatti Veyron this weekend due to its subpar technical condition, which some users pointed out in the comments.
Khoshbin owns multiple Bugatti cars and dozens of other iconic vehicles from other brands. The Veyron on sale is the 41th out of 252 total units produced, and the 12th out of 76 made for the United States. The seller claims it is also the only one finished in blue and white.
When Manny bought the supercar, it already had around 22,500 kilometers (14,000 miles) on it. He only put a few hundred more on the odometer, and was selling the car with its entire documentation and workshop orders.
One of these orders dated December 2021 revealed that the car had a radiator leak and a dysfunctional active rear wing. The service center advised against driving the Veyron in this state. When users noticed it, discussions flared in the comments accusing the seller of hiding this information.
In a recently published video, Khoshbin said was not aware of any malfunctions and thought the car was safe to drive. He promised to have the radiator repaired at his own expense, even though he never noticed the leak. He also did another test drive and demonstrated that the active rear wing was working as intended, contrary to what the workshop order said.
However, the bidding never reached $1,000,000 and fell short of the reserve, leading some to speculate that Khoshbin never intended to sell the Bugatti in the first place and simply wanted publicity for his channel.
