Whatever happened to the van that Justin Bieber's character Jason McCann rode in during that one CSI episode?

It was a red early '90s GMC that McCann rode in until the roadblock where he got shot.

Did it sell at an auction? I'm sure thousands of Bieber fans would've bid on it to the point that it may have easily fetched a 6-figure price.

But what can you find about the status of that Biebervan? --70.179.169.115 (talk) 07:55, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

Do you have any reason to believe that it wasn't simply put back in stock at the production company that owns it? Or, if they used one, the rental agency that the producers got it from? I don't see how this would have been any different than any other vehicle used in various TV shows and movies. And those don't go on the auction block all the time. Unless the vehicle itself becomes iconic, it's unusual for them to be auctioned off just because of a one off appearance. Dismas|^(talk) 00:57, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

I don't think the average Beiber fan has the money to bid into 6 figures. However, I can see the van selling for significantly more it's nominal value (maybe to an older fan getting their first vehicle), so perhaps an auction would make sense. StuRat (talk) 07:16, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
