Supercars are amongst some of the most exclusive items that can be purchased by those who can afford the massive price tag. Naturally, it\u2019s not surprising to know that the maintenance for these high-performance vehicles is also high.<\/p>\n

But exactly how high?<\/p>\n

Reports vary and it is largely dependent on the type of maintenance or repair that is being made. We\u2019ve put together a small sample of supercar repairs and maintenance that are crazy in price and quite frankly, made us question whether or not we would ever want to own a supercar.<\/p>\n

To keep things interesting (for the lulz), we\u2019re also going to compare some of these prices to maintenance costs for a good ol\u2019 Toyota Corolla.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, the Bugatti Veyron was the first hypercar of modern times and a pioneer in the world of exotic automotive history, with world records (which have been beaten since) such as the world\u2019s fastest production car.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

With a price tag at the time of $1.5 million USD, the Veyron epitomizes extravagance and its opulence extends to every detail, including the high costs associated with routine maintenance.<\/p>\n

*Disclaimer: prices can widely fluctuate depending on the location and other factors such as warranty or the relationship with the dealer.<\/p>\n

Oil Change<\/h2>\n

For anyone who owns a Bugatti Veyron, it should come as no surprise that everything with this car costs a small fortune, including your regular oil changes. The price tag? A hair-raising $21,000 if you can believe it. But it\u2019s not just because of the renown behind this French marque.<\/p>\n

The Veyron has 16 drain plugs and requires the removal of underbody sections, as well as rear fender liners and rear deck in order as part of the service. According to Top Speed, it takes roughly 27 hours to complete an oil change.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

An oil change for a McLaren is estimated to cost around $800 to $900, depending on the model, while a Ferrari is going to leave your wallet around $500 to $800.<\/p>\n

On the other end of the spectrum, it would cost a grand total of roughly $80 to perform an oil change on a 2024 Toyota Corolla. You\u2019d likely be able to bring down the cost of the oil and filter itself if you were a savvy DIY\u2019er, limiting the monetary damage to a mere $40.<\/p>\n

Supercars are complex machines. When you combine world-class engineering and luxury, you tend to get something that\u2019s incredibly complicated to assemble and take apart. The Bugatti Chiron Super Sport is a prime example of this. According to a post on CarScoops, the front assembly for this vehicle costs as much as a house, coming in at a blazing $400,000.<\/p>\n
