berniebenz.pngWere thinking to yourself at some point over the weekend that it’d be pretty sweet to roll up to the office (or a date, whichever) in Bernie’s Benz? Well too slow to the draw, hombres. The Ponz Master’s ride, which went to auction October 23, has been spoken for.

A New Jersey man scooped up the jailed Ponzi schemer’s ride for the cut-rate price of $14,250 on Friday after it went on the block at a U.S. Marshal Service auction in East Brunswick, N.J.
“I enjoy the historical significance of the car,” said proud new owner Gregory Przybylski. “I just don’t know if it’s good or bad history.”

Bidding on the station wagon with 41,712 miles started at $15,000, but quickly plunged to $10,000 when no one bit. After a brief flurry of bidding, Przybylski snagged Madoff’s black 2001 E 320 – whose fancy extra touches include a black leather interior and a car phone.

Still up for grabs, and worth some serious consideration, is Sam Israel’s get-away RV.

    No bids at $10K and the car ultimately sold for $14,250.
    Bernie would be proud of such an auction.

    I prefer Ponz to Ponzi schemer.

    @1, you idiot, no one bid at $15K.
    Go to hell.

    @3:
    I am an idiot. I guess I read it too fast.
    I must have read too many Greg comments.
    BTW, fuck off.

    With a car like that Bernie must have been compensating for something…

    This clunker isn’t as valuable as Jon Voight’s Le Baron.

    I’d have paid $20k if it was for an ’84 Sheep Dog. Then trade it for a ‘hog’ that gets 70 mpg.

    @10 – Just when I thought you couldn’t post anything dumber you go and post something like this….and TOTALLY REDEEM YOURSELF.

    I never did understand why a Jewish person would buy a German car…

    @12,
    You mean the same Jew that fucked over all of his Jewish brethren? Clearly this man placed a lot of emphasis on being a member of the tribe.
