Looks like a nice car. Of course, carrying costs for a new car are pretty high. If you insure a car like this for comp and collision in New Jersey, and you have a less-than-perfect insurance rating, you could expect to pay $250 a month for insurance alone.
Still, a generous gesture by Oprah. Hopefully some of the recipients will have the savvy to sell the car back to Pontiac and buy a good, reliable used car that will only cost $50 a month to insure...
And they have to pay taxes on them.
