Whatever he knew was enough to peak his interest.

I have no idea why he bought it - he owns 5 Veyron's my guess is because he could

He is not - he also bought another yellow CGT for 550 - making it his third CGT.

He is Steve Chen - sort of a big deal now it may make sense that when he was bidding the yellow CGT price was just a different hand stroke of the pen.

Chen was an employee at PayPal, where he first met Chad Hurley and Jawed Karim. Chen was also an early employee at Facebook, although he left after several months to start YouTube.[5]
In 2005, Chad Hurley, Jawed Karim and Chen founded YouTube, with Chen having the position of Chief Technology Officer. In June 2006, Chen was named by Business 2.0 as one of "The 50 people who matter now" in business.[6]
On October 16, 2006, Chen and Hurley sold YouTube to Google, Inc. for $1.65 billion. Chen received 625,366 shares of Google and an additional 68,721 in a trust as part of the sale. The Google shares that he received were reported to be worth over $326 million about 1 year later.[7]
He and Chad Hurley have now started AVOS Systems which has acquired Delicious from Yahoo! Inc.
Chen has been listed as one of the 15 Asian Scientists To Watch by Asian Scientist Magazine on 15 May 2011.[8

We can only say "well done" !

It is clear to me that the CGT is already a legend, and even with a "subtancial" amount of cars produced, the CGT will be a member of of the top club of cars to collect and keep. In the past, we have seen cars like the F. GTO, or later, like the McLaren F1, etc..
In my opinion, I have just no doubt that the CGT belongs to this type of breed !
Or simply, in the "analysts language" : a strong buy !

It make me think of a good friend of mine, that ..accumulated Six Dino 246 some years ago, when they were "cheap", and now, four of these are here:
www.carugati.ch
..Yes, he is also an official Pagani dealer ! (not very well known here, but, imo, this is just a question of time !)
The F-cars specialists (I do not know if any are reading around here ?) may notice that next to these Dino, ..is a 1961 250GT SWB Competizione, ..that is a car that you do not see very often, the least we can say !
..but, he has no CGT !

I noticed and agree the Dino went to insanity but the CGT has picked up quite a bit since the accident.

Curious - what is the premium for an 04 vs 05 along with how much more is red worth vs black then silver.

Is it safe to say the 05 carries a 25k vs 04 and black and red carry another 25k premium?

Assume yellow and red are about the same - perhaps a slight premium. I keep looking at the Sandy CGT and wondering for 100 - 125k to repair if that's not the best option.

The 7000 mile silver 04 on e-bay has a deposit at 360 29.5 reading on the clutch.

I think a lot more are going to appear once the 918's start showing up.

After a lot of research I am finding very very few are actually well maintained.

I think a low mile around 3k miles is worth 4 and will most likely require another 35 -50k to be brought up to what they should represent.

As I stated it seems they are starting to roll into dealers due to 918's showing up.

These are serious cars that need to be well maintained and anything less is stupidity given what we all know what can happen when they are not.

It appears these things are listed anywhere from $350-500k

What was the MSRP?

Nice combo you have in your collection!

So, was there ever a low point to the resale of the CGT? Or did the low mile examples always hover around MSRP?

I have looked twice at low mileage CGT's - in 2011 & 2013 they were around 325 - 350.

The first time I chose the 16M second the MP4.

CGT prices have had an interesting history.

When first introduced, many who ordered tried to cancel as stories began to proliferate that the car was undrivable owing to the clutch. The early '04 cars did have a trickier clutch, but the software was soon updated. In fact, Ben tried to cancel his order and was denied.

Many dealers and flippers were stuck with new cars they couldn't give away. In late '04 and throughout '05, you could get a brand new car for low to mid 300's.

Shortly after that, prices began to rise as folks realized what an amazing car it was.

Prices took a slight dip in '08 -'09, and have risen steadily since then.
