I may buy a ticket myself.


This whole issue is morally neutral.  It's a fine car.  For all any of us know, an SSPX benefactor may own a Jaguar dealership and wish to donate a car for a tax write-off.   If someone wins it and needs a more "practical" vehicle, then let them sell it to someone who doesn't, and buy something more suited to their needs.  If I won it, I'd have a decision to make.  My car is getting kind of long in the tooth, and is in the shop constantly (lemon from day one).  It's just my son and me, and probably always will be.  A high-quality car such as this, properly cared for, will last for years and retain much of its value.  On the other hand, it could be sold --- I could use the money.

The car has an MSRP of $39,900

That's half the price of a good starter home. Not talking about down payment, I mean total cost.

You could sell that car, buy a new car with the money, and with the other $15,000 cash left over...

Why not auction off a 15-passenger "Catholic Van" instead?

(We need one of those! We are currently a 2-car family, i.e., our family can no longer fit in our 2004 Yukon, which only fits 2 adults and 7 kids. So both adults have to drive on any family trips.)

P.S. Speaking of large vehicles, did you know that TRUNK SPACE/STORAGE is a huge issue for vehicles of this size? I never gave it a second thought until I had a "large family" myself. Having some trunk space for groceries, shopping bags, diaper bag, emergency supplies, luggage, Christmas gifts, etc. means you subtract at least 3 from the carrying capacity of the vehicle. So, long story short, you need a 15-passenger vehicle LONG before one would think.
