This Is The TRUTH About Owning A Bugatti

Carl Hartley is the co-owner and director of the Tom Hartley supercar dealership, which since 1973 has blazed a trail in the world of aspirational automobile ownership.
Carl has been an integral part of the business since the age of 12 years old when he left primary school in order to focus his life upon the family brand, and in this episode, he talks candidly to Steven about where he finds the extraordinary drive that has catapulted him to the pinnacle of business success, why the luxury market has thrived even during economic downturns, and how he and his family have turned their name into one of the mightiest brands in the world.

    "Bugatti is ripping off its customers" We poor people are honestly exhausting!!! Of course Bugatti owners know they are being ripped off and that is exactly how they want it. Guys, if Bugatti was to lower their prices and be reasonable, these multimillionaires and billionaires with obscene amounts of wealth would immediately stop buying a Bugatti because would it would no longer be an EXCLUSIVE brand. A brand like Bugatti does not exist because they crazy or mad... Bugatti exist because there is a market that it serves and that is how that market NEEDS to be served, expensively. The problem here is not brands like Bugatti, but 1 person who can afford 32 cars, 2 private jets, 2 superyachts and 10 mansions on every continent. I am talking about crass and grotesque greed while the average Londoner cannot afford a 1 bedroom apartment in London.
