http://ca.autos.yahoo.com/p/2393/obamas-chrysler-300c-goes-to-auction-for-1-million

So here it is, for a cool million you can own pretty much any classic Ferrari, MB, Lambo, Mustang, Camaro, Charger, you name it maybe a combination of some OR :idea: Barrack Obama's low-mile 300C  :think: Not sure what I would do...

Id spend a million on a Veyron, a Ferrari 265GTB or an Enzo....otherwise....wow, a Ford Focus that Lindsey Lohan threw up in, thats worth $400,000....no way, in a million years would I spend a penny more on a car because someone famous owned it.

Not for the first non-white U.S. President?  How about if it was owned by Stephen Harper?

If it was owned by Stephen Harper, the pollution reducing components have been removed. And the sound deadening materials have been replaced by asbestos.
 ;D

Wouldn't pass aircare in BC. So, sadly I would have to pass on it.

A car is a car.  A car owned by a celebrity is still a car, unless Batman counts as a celebrity.

I recently watched a minty early 70's Lincoln owned by Elvis Presley go at auction for $15k. The auctioneer is on crack if they think this 300c will go for any more than a couple of bucks over what it normally would.

Saffy... I'm with Arctic in that ex Mr. HARPEconomics mobile. Sharing and dribbling red wine on the seats.
