Hopeful Seller Lists Chrysler 300C for $1 Million

What do you think would make a 2005 Chrysler 300C worth a cool million? Maybe if somebody famous once owned it? How about if the President of the United States drove it on his campaign trail while he was still a Senator? It's not likely that any of us here at Hollywood Chrysler Jeep would be willing to spend that much on a car, but one wishful thinker on eBay is hoping to sell the car once owned by Barack Obama for no less than $1 million.
No doubt that it's a nice car. Here at Hollywood Chrysler Jeep, we're big fans of the Chrysler 300C. As are many drivers in the Hollywood, FL area. With a standard 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and five-speed automatic transmission, electronic stability control, optional navigation, dual-zone climate control, and a slew of standard safety features, we're willing to bet you'd be hard-pressed to find somebody who doesn't like this luxury car from Chrysler.
But is this particular car worth $1-million? According to collector car expert, Craig Jackson of Barrett-Jackson auto auctions, it's more likely to fetch around $100,000. He explains, even the hearse that carried JFK after his assassination in 1963 only went for $160,000 at a recent auction in Dallas. Another presidential car, a Cadillac V-16 convertible used as a parade car by Franklin Roosevelt, recently sold for $270,000. This happens in other countries, too, apparently. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad once drove a Peugeot that recently sold for a record $2.4-million.
The eBay listing says, the car, once driven by Obama, racked up a respectable 19,000 miles while he was a Senator. He traded it in when he launched his Presidential campaign, and the current owner wishes to remain anonymous. The woman listing the car on the auction site, however, says that the owner fully expects to get $1 million for it.
But, if you're in the market for a pre-owned car, Hollywood Chrysler Jeep thinks you shouldn't pay a million dollars for it - no matter who owned it first!
