Jaromír Jágr's: 1989 Skoda Favorit 136L

Price inflation due to celebrity ownership of man made goods is indeed an odd phenomenon.  Take the Skoda Favorit, for example, an oddly named beast because it is the favorite car of no man/woman -- ever.  Even the nicest example isn't worth more than a few 6-packs of Pilsner Urquell, but find one that was once owned by Europe's most successful soccer player and it'll be worth millions...however, how does that scale when it comes to a second tier sport like ice hockey?  Will anyone be willing to drop fifty large on Jaromír Jágr's first car?  Find this 1989 Skoda Favorit 136L offered for $50,000 here on eBay located in Kladno, Czech Republic with a few hours to go.  Tip from Hunter.

5k: Czech Mark: 1983 Skoda 105 Luxe

 The Skoda 105/120/125 was a compact family car built in Czechoslovakia from 1976 through 1990.  Almost two million of the rear-engine rear-drive cars were built to shuttle communist era Czech and Slovak families from their homes to dreary jobs at the salt mines.  Build quality is isn't going to be great, but somehow I can't help but want to take it for a spin.  Perhaps you should buy it and then give me a ride so I get it out of my system.  Find this 1983 Skoda 105L offered for $6,500 in New Orleans, LA via craigslist.  Tip from K2 Mystery Car.
