Elliott Smith's car is being sold off to benefit a non-profit organization that aids musicians in need.
The late singer's 1999 Volkswagen Passat is being sold by his brother via Craig's List in the Austin area for $4,000, reports Pitchfork.
The ad for the car reads: "It was my brother’s, who was a musician himself. He’s no longer with us, and I think he’d be happy to know that the sale of his car will help other musicians in need. It looks and runs great, and is fun to drive, but it does have a few flaws," which he goes on to describe.
Smith's brother pledged to donate the entire cost of the car to the SIMS Foundation, which provides local Austin musicians with mental health and addiction recovery services.

E.smith's music is such an important part of my music library---I listen to him almost every day. He was an incredibly talented and influential musician who is so missed. I wish I had an extra $4000 to buy his car---I can't think how far out it would be to drive it around blasting his guitar & sweet voice with all the windows down! I'm sure he'd appreciate what his brother is doing for his fellow musicians in Austin. Kudos.

Smith's sound is unique, all his own. I'm surprised the price isn't higher, even if it is just a Passat.
