NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Having difficulty finding that SUV with 3 DVD players, six TV screens, a PlayStation 2 and vibrating seats?
P. Diddy to the rescue.
Rapper Sean "P. Diddy" Combs plans to sell a line of tricked-up $85,000 Lincoln Navigators under his Sean John label, currently used for clothing, according to the USA Today.
The normal sticker price for a Navigator is $55,000.
Combs and a driver were in a Lincoln Navigator when they were chased by police following a shooting in a New York City nightclub in 1999, but were later acquitted in the case. P. Diddy's girlfriend at the time, Jennifer Lopez, also was in the Navigator, but was not charged.
Lincoln, a unit of Ford Motor Co., isn't worried that the nightclub incident will mar its image.
When contacted by CNN/Money, a Lincoln spokesperson could not confirm the story.
Combs expects to sell 100 of the customized Navigators through yet-to-be-selected dealerships beginning Aug. 1, although Lincoln says it has not put the Sean John line through crash tests and other evaluations, according to USA Today.
Lincoln's normal four-year or 50,000-mile warranty does not apply to Combs' additions, but does cover the rest of the vehicle, the paper reported.
