Tom Hanks Auctioning Off His 2004 Plug-In Prius

I really don't care what the reason was for purchasing the car
just as long as they bought 1
if it in courage others to buy 1 because of that then i don't have a problem with that in any way whatsoever

 

Anyone knows how much it sold for? It appear the auction ended.

 

It might have been pulled, if bidding looked like it wasn't yet near the reserve. But sellers typically sell the PHEV Prius for the mid to high $20K's:

Toyota : Prius: eBay Motors (item 120585758419 end time Jul-06-10 10:55:08 PDT)

Not sure what the fame value woud add to it, if anything.

.

 

i was one of the 4 bidders and sadly lost the auction until the final few minutes where i tried to rebid. the final winning price was $21K.

 

That's a great deal especially with Tom's signature.

 

One thing nobody has picked up on yet - If Tom Hanks owned a Plug In Prius then he obviously has some interest in EV's and hybrids. And what do you do if you have an interest in these matters? You join PriusChat.com! lol

So, is Tom Hanks reading this? I can't imagine him using his own name for his profile, so for a bit of fun anyone care to guess a suitable profile name for Mr Hanks? I'd go with Wilson after that ball he had on Castaway.

 

I find it hard to believe it sold for that cheap
it's funny because of gas was 4 dollars a gallon right now you would sell on the open market for 25,000

 

Thanks ! Yes at $21K it was really a deal

 

Don't have a good movie for 2 years and look at what happens

 

I'm okay now that I didn't win it. Now I can't wait to get a nissan leaf which is comparable in price with all the tax credits. The future looks bright in southern california when charging stations infrastucture gets built out for EV.

 

i agree that extra rebate for CA makes a Leaf a no-brainer. for me in WA, its simply just a very very good idea

 

I <3 Tom Hanks.... great actor
