Bugatti Veyron Bleu Centenaire
A Bugatti customer from Canada filed a suit against the car company for failure to deliver the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Coupe in Italian Red paintjob that he paid $1.55 million for. Barry Zekelman went to a Bugatti dealership in Troy, Michigan, and after picking out the car he wants, made an advanced payment of $427,935 in September 2008. Three months later, he wired the remaining $1,125,419 into Bugatti Troy's bank account. The money then got forwarded to Bugatti USA, which also forwarded them to Bugatti S.A.S.
On December 23, 2008, Zekelman got an email informing him that his request could not be fulfilled and that Bugatti Troy is offering him a 2008 Bugatti instead. Zekelman refused to accept. Since Bugatti S.A.S had stopped production on any 2009 models, Zekelman demanded a refund.
Since no refund had been made, Zekelman filed the 6-count suit, which cites breach of contract, violation of the Michigan consumer protection act, recission count, unjust enrichment, conversion and claim and delivery. He is asking for all court and lawyer fees on top of the full refund. Maybe a good solution would be to give him the latest Bugatti Grand Sport Sang Bleu?
