Buying this car would have "RISK" written all over it. Likely no warrantee and if the thing tanks, where would you begin getting it fixed. I doubt I would buy this car even at market value. Nice ride but I do not see the sense in dumping this kind of money into a 3 year old car (05 came out in 04) just to turn around and try to flip it. Poor decision making all around I think.

Yeah, just teasing you. With the beautiful new car and mods you have now I didn't think it would be that fresh on your mind.
That's still a good deal with access to premium cars through your clients.

By the looks of it this car is the end result that most modders dream of. Take a pretty fast car on a solid platform and make it faster than most if not all the above mentioned super cars.
The problem is of course the cost to there. 50+50K = more than a Z06 and you'll never come close to making the money back when you sell it. Why not get the Z06? Well cause you know the Z06 modder won't be happy with the stock performance. Dump another couple hundred thousand or so in it to make it accelerate like a Veyron. Again, the cost is pretty high to get there and you have modded vs stock reliability issues. Why not just get a Veyron... In this province apparently everyone's got that kind of money to burn.
As to why he's selling it, I'm guessing it was bought by someone with taste and with oil money and now that the rigs aren't running the car loan is in danger of not being paid off. Just a guess.
Edit: I would love to see that car on the road someday.
