Comedy Central had this TV benefit called ‘Night of Too Many Stars’, where a bunch of comedians go on TV to have a phone-a-thon for an autism charity in New York. Pretty cool.

As part of the deal they auctioned off a 2009 Toyota Corolla S model. With leather interior and all the other fixins.

It sold for $17.5k on eBay (this auction won’t stay up long)

The MSRP for that car is over 20k

I believe (don’t quote me on this) you only get a tax credit for the amount of money you spend over the value of the car. So the people who bought this thing didn’t even get any tax benefit from the purchase.

They just got a nice car for well below what they would have otherwise paid for it.

Too bad children with autism won’t end up with more money
