Barack Obama's former Chrysler 300 now on sale for 'only' a milli at eBay
*(Via ABC News) – Before he traveled in limousines and motorcades, President Obama shuttled himself to and from work at the Springfield, Ill., state house in a 2005 grey Chrysler sedan.
The owner of the car is now offering the ultimate piece of Obama memorabilia on eBay. The starting bid? A cool $1 million.
“How do you put a price on something like that?” Lisa Czibor, who is running the auction for a “friend of a friend,” told ABCNews.com.
Obama leased the Chrysler 300C from 2004 until 2007, then traded it in for a hybrid vehicle.
After sitting on a Ford lot for a while, the car was sent to a Chrysler lot where its current owner purchased it.
“The guy who bought it found out it was Obama’s car,” Czibor said. “He put 1,600 miles on it and once Barack was elected president, he stopped driving it.”

A hybrid for a Chrysler 300C?!
Hmmm …..I’m wondering if running for president was a factor in making the decision to trade in the 300C for a hybrid.
Knowing Obama, it probably was.
And what type of hybrid did he get? I bet it wasn’t an import.
I guess you wouldn’t want to be in a presidential debate, touting energy conservation and manufacturing at home, while driving a gas guzzler or an import.
