That's a far cry from Bob Barkers day. Pinto, Chevette, Citation and other similar cars.

Yup. Windfall gift taxes on game show winnings include at least state sales taxes and can range up to 50% or more. Fortunately, most shows offer a cash substitute.

Considering those shows are done in California, i would imagine very few people actually end up with the cars as they are taxed by California. Not sure but I think you have to take delivery of the car there, you cannot live in New York and get your vehicle locally, also contributing to the cost of the prize.

Both would be kind of fun for a long weekend, but I wouldn't want the upkeep of either over the long term
