So, if that's an auction price, what will the real price be? $60K?

that's what I was going to ask. I was under the impression that's pretty close to what the car was going to cost anyway. Didn't the first Challenger go for something ridiculous like $200k?

whats funny is how cheap this guy got the car for. Since it was a charitible auction, he probably will get a 50% tax write off making his price $37500.

Yeah, you reveal yourself as a bigotted idiot all the time around here. Why don't you go drive your BMW that was built in North Carolina some more and complain about how much your German pu$$y hurts.*

Autospies, please don't remove my posts. I mean his cat... I heard it was injured due to his abuse to it for being overweight and American.

I like this car and respect buyers who choose it. I would just never get one for myself as it does not appeal to me. I'm sure it will be crazy fun though and what a good price for a charity auction.

That is to say, good price for him... not the charity

you can only write off the quid quo pro contribution, meaning he can only write off the amount of money which exceeds the value he was receiving.

So if the car is worth (MSRP) say $65K, his deductible contribution is only $10K.

Some people are idiots and or clearly not charitable...
