These types of headlines aggravate me to no end. The buyer did not pay $2M for the car. He gave a $2M donation to a couple of charities, and in return got the car. He now gets a tax deduction of $2M - (list price of car), a lot of press and a lot of good will.

Mind you, I don't have an issue with the practice itself, it a great cause, just how its characterized. It's the "big money" equivalent of the "John Denver Collection CD & DVD" gift I would get for donating to my local PBS.
