121k for a vw is ridiculous, imo. That was solely bid up because of Seinfeld's name.

xilly

but you can argue it's also true for some of his Porsche no?

Or the 911S of Steve mc queen?

Marvinta

Can't argue with that. I guess the market is what it is but seems like a waste to me.

I agree, it's silly; the car's no different because Seinfield owned it but if your a buyer with circus money, what the hell, go for it.

When it comes time to sell the Highlander I'm gonna see if I can get Jerry to come and take a quick ride in it with me.
2006 Toyota Highlander Hybrid: 110k miles, survived raising two kids into college, carrying gear to track days and soccer teams to games. Jerry Seinfeld approved (note pictures). Only 62,900$

I don't disagree, however Seinfeld has a reputation for paying up for the best and spending crazy money on it if it isn't. I would venture to guess it is an exceptional example to command that money.

Unlike the McQueen car which brought huge $$ solely based on the fact that he spec'd it out as new. After all he was the King of Cool.

The question is why would anyone spend up for a VW. But people pay a million for a bottle of MaCallan scotch so who knows.

The Flachbau and the Brumos 4.0 Cup were the two dumb prints at this auction.

If a 3.6 package car is worth over a million bucks, the 3.3 Leichtbaus should be worth $1.5 million and our "vanilla" 3.6 Turbos at least $0.5 million.

Hurray... not.

Would be interesting to know where these cars end up? Globe wise? Continent? States? 20+ million in P-Cars disappear from Jerry's private hanger to private hangers around the globe....
