15$ will not be with a proper regulator. See the LaCie works on 5V. I know the motorola charger costing Rs. 500/- is regulated enough to drive it. Drops in voltage, even drastic drops will not affect it, as it needs to drop voltage to 5V.

But a 12V clean supply was my question. Because of Steeroids suggestion.

And guys, I am fully aware of carputers, they've been around a while. I'm looking at a cost effective (relatively speaking) option.
