Dude got ALOT of money ($1mil+) back in the deal in addition to the ZR1. It was a business deal that turned publicity stunt.

Pretty insane here in midland/odessa tx. The owner is carty beal , a local billionaire. He owns a couple of lambos, an enzo, and a mclaren for starters. He is the owner of the original air wolf helicopter. you know the one from the movies. The guy is a good guy not ur typical rich ***** we got around here. He loves cars and he is a bad ***. All American Chubby wrote him a check for 745 and he got the zr1 outright. 154 for the zr1. but he will trade it in afer he gets bored thats what he does. sad thing is there is no commission check for the sales guy, he made the base $200.00 because there was a prearranged deal between Mr. jones and carty. sucks huh deal of a life time and you get basepay.

Whoa whoa whoa... NO FREAKIN way the salesman only got a 200 dollar base pay!!! THAT IS B>S! Im a car salesman and I would end up driving a car straight through the showroom floor if I got screwed like that! Seriously! Not joking! There would be SEVERAL thousand dollars in it for the salesman.. I understand that that probably wasnt a sale that the salesman created, but still, a lot goes into a deal like that. Paperwork, detailing the car, fill up, and the final delivery of the car to the new owner. Plus, if they put $745,000 in the guys pocket and gave him the ZR1, then they would end up making profit about what they put in it, plus that again. They could sell that thing for $1.5 I bet. I honestly think that the salesman at least pocketed $5,000. Hell, I know a local dealer that will be selling a Lexus LFA as soon as it is released and the commission is around $7,000. Theres more than a 200 buck check in store for this salesman.

By the way. do yall remember a few years back a there was a thread of a lambo thatwrecked and killed a father and son. well that car was carty beals. that man paid for the complete funeral burial and helped the family with everything they needed. Beal is a good guy. i remember the first time we met. he was checking on his f1 at a local body shop in his enzo. lol the enzo was parked on a curb. well when they were stripping the mclaren one of the hands shattered the pass window and boy he started shaking like a leaf. carty just laughed it off and he ordered a new one.

I wouldn't buy a Veyron even if I had the money. Cars are ugly as all hell.
