If you can afford a $3 million car, you can afford the maintenance, regardless of how outrageous it may seem. However, it's still pretty interesting for the rest of us plebs to see just how expensive it is to maintain a Bugatti [Chiron](). In this video from *The Hamilton Collection*, Steve Hamilton breaks down the costs of maintaining his Chiron since he's had it and what it will cost over ten years. Many of the maintenance Hamilton's already had done was covered under the car's four-year warranty, including the final warranty service that he took the car in for during the video. However, had the car been out of warranty, that service would have cost $34,000. The normal one-year annual service costs $11,500. ![]() If you want an additional four-year bumper-to-bumper warranty, to continue the car's coverage after its initial one, it will cost $204,000. While shockingly expensive, that does cover a lot, including everything from oil changes to broken wheels. If a Chiron owner is planning on keeping the car for ten years, the six years following its initial four-year warranty will cost $91,500 (five $11,500 annual services plus one $34,000 four-year major service). And that's just routine maintenance, not fixing anything that breaks. Considering a Chiron taillight costs more than $10,000, the additional four-year warranty might actually be worth it for Chiron owners, especially if buying it used. Speaking of buying it used, what happens if you need to replace its quad-turbocharged 8.0-liter W16 engine? You'll have to shell out $856,406.98. For the record, that's the funniest 98 cents in history. If the complex dual-clutch gearbox breaks, that's $185,000 to replace. What about brakes, which are wear items and will need to be replaced every so often? Just the front rotors alone will set you back more than $18,000, with another additional $6,700 for pads. The rear rotors are the same but the pads are *only* $4,000. I can already feel some of you pulling away. Of course, complaining about service costs on a $3 million car is the probably the biggest first-world problem in history. And if you're fortunate enough to own a Bugatti, just be happy you can afford its maintenance costs. However, it's still interesting to learn of the eye-watering price tag such maintenance carries. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdtaurFYmo0 *Got tips?

His love of cars began when he was just a kid playing Gran Turismo 3, grinding out enough race wins with a Mazda Miata to save up for an in-game RUF 911. That passion for small, lightweight sports cars drove his desire to learn more about the industry, get his hands on as many cars as he could, and bring those experiences to life on the page. He cut his teeth writing about BMWs, Volkswagens, and Audis, mostly, and has owned far too many of each. He’s on his fourth 3 Series sedan, but all of his old, cheap German cars have forced him to learn more about car maintenance than his mechanical capability can handle. Too many late nights have been spent scrambling to get a car running by morning so he could get to work. For some reason, he never seems to learn that old Bimmers probably aren’t the best daily drivers. But he loves more than just old German cars. He’ll gladly drive and discuss anything with four (or even three) wheels. Cars aren’t his only passions, though. Nico is also a big nerd and loves movies, video games, comic books, and cares far too much about the New York Giants. So don’t be surprised if you see football references or dumb, obscure movie quotes in any of his car reviews. ### Author social links [Instagram]() [LinkedIn]()
