A Canadian man has filed court documents against Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S. for the money he paid for a Bugatti Veyron that was never delivered. Barry Zekelman says he ordered a new Italian Red Veyron 16.4 on September 5, 2008 and paid for the car in full through a Bugatti dealership in Troy, Michigan. On December 23, 2008, Zekelman was told that Bugatti would not be manufacturing any 2009 models. He was offered a 2008 model, but Zekelman refused, and asked for either the car he had ordered or a refund. The dealership promised his money would be refunded in an email on January 5, 2009.

The complaint was filed on August 10 because Zekelman was never refunded the money. The Plantiff is requesting the full refund in the amount of $1,553,354.57 plus interest and attorney fees.

I bet the dealership is no longer trading (ie closed due to recession) & has pocketed his money - with little or no hope of recovery.

Website is still up so looks like they are still in Business. Maybe they spent it on other stock and can't afford to pay it back atm?

I think I'd be a little careful about messing up anyone with 1.5 mill to blow on a car. But thats just me.

who in their right mind would hand over that sort of money with taking the car at the same time. yes you would leave a deposit but pay now and get it when ever. what a tossa.

Fair go - I think with cars like the Veyron which are handbuilt, the payment requirements are slightly different than buying a clubby....

Edit - here's a bit more information http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/the-truth-about-barry-zekelmans-bugatti-veyon/

Apparently he DID pay a deposit ($428k!) and transferred the rest of the funds once the car was confirmed as being built and the delivery date given.

Then the deal fell through and they've hung onto his cash ever since. Sneaky buggers!
