President Obama’s Old Car Up For Sale, Seller Asking $1 Million
If you were to head into a Chrysler dealership and purchase a 2005 Chrysler 300C in pristine condition and fully loaded you could expect to pay a Kelley Blue Book value of $19,142, however one eBay seller is hoping that their vehicle, previously owned by President Barack Obama will fetch at least a cool $1 million.
Seasoned eBay seller Lisa Czibor placed the vehicle on eBay this week and she has proof of the previous owner (Obama) via owner Tim O’Boyle. Among her proof? A printed copy of the title with Obama’s name.
Buyers on eBay have 10 days to pay the purchase price in full with the auction ending on February 1 with no bids after 11 days.
Among the vehicles features are just 20,800 miles along with decked out leather seats, a sunroof and a navigation system (mind you it’s GPS circa 2005).
In order to raise up bidding the eBay page for the $1 million Presidential ride points to other expensive vehicle purchases including President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s 1977 Peugeot which sold for $2.35 million last year however that money went to charity.
The last time President Obama was seen riding in the leased vehicle was in July 2007 when he launched his Presidential campaign.
The cost of the car has also increased, during Obama’s Presidential inauguration it was up for auction at a much more friendly $100,000 but was taken down after various fake bidders pushed the price of the vehicle to $100 million. The new auction has security measures in place to avoid erroneous bidding.
Do you think a former US Presidential owned vehicle is ever worth $1 million?
