Some idiot Zillionaire will probably snatch it up. Or perhaps not. Nobody is that crazy to pay 1 Million Dollars for a Chrysler regardless who drove it. Heck, I will drive to the White House in my Beetle and let Obama drive my Beetle around the block, then I will sell tickets to ride in my Presidential Butt heated beetle

I don't want anyone to take me wrong. I like President Obama, I just don't think that car, even if he drove it, is worth that kind of money, that bloodsucking seller is trying to get. That is why I said "good luck".

What ever you think of President Obama or Chrysler or eBay, it is kind of silly to post that unless he's trying to drum up publicity for something else.

I'm sure there are collectors who would be very interested in checking it out, and a live auction would be a much better choice. You get a good auctioneer, an excited crowd, and maybe some other Presidential collectable items, and the seller would have a much better choice at getting top dollar.

Kinda make me wonder if Obama still has the Escape Hybrid he got after the 300C. Could you imagine the President and First Lady sneaking out the back of the White House in Dave, the movie, style? [

Just an update...as of Feb 1, the seller ended the auction with no bids.

Worth a few grand over Blue Book cause a "big name" leased it, that is it. Anyone with a proper German car wouldn't buy a Chrysler... even as a daily driver.
