The man who paid $40,000 for a car signed by Justin Bieber says he’s not done shelling out the bucks.
Allan Komenda, 54, of London, Ont., says that while his bid was enough to win an auction for the car, it will take more money to help spruce up a skateboard park in Stratford, Bieber’s hometown.
Bieber had signed the brand new Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0 Turbo, donated by a local dealership, to help raise money for the park.
Komenda said he would double his bid so there will be $80,000 going toward the park.
The retired businessman says he was stunned when he found out the bid he made in the last few seconds of Monday’s eBay auction was the winner.
“If this was Los Angeles or New York or Auburn, Indiana, where a lot of these celebrity cars are auctioned, and you've got active buyers . . . this probably would have been up in the $150,000 (or) $200,000 range at least.”
Komenda said he plans to use the sporty car — with Bieber’s signature on the dashboard and sun visor — to raise funds for other charities.
