Washington: A humble car driven by Barack Obama before he became US President is up for sale on a shopping website. The starting bid? A cool USD1 million.

The 2005 grey Chrysler sedan in which Obama travelled to and from the state house in Illinois when he was a senator is up for auction on eBay.
The owner of the car is now offering the ultimate piece of Obama memorabilia on eBay, ABCNews reported. The ad states `Barack Obama owned driven car - 2005 Chrysler 300C 19k miles driven by Barack`.
A brand-new Chrysler 300c is available for USD 27,000. Normally a model of this age would resell for USD 14,446.
Lisa Czibor, who is managing the auction for a `friend of a friend`, told ABCNews.com: `How do you put a price on something like that?` Obama leased the Chrysler 300C from 2004 until 2007, then traded it in for a hybrid vehicle.
"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."
The listing has received a lot of clicks, but no interested buyers have emerged.
"There are other cars that have sold for large amounts of money," Czibor said.
She pointed to Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad`s 1977 white Peugeot, which sold for approximately USD 2.4 million at auction and Adolf Hitler`s convertible blue Mercedes, which sold for USD 8 million. The auction ends on February 1. When Obama hits the road these days, he travels in an armoured presidential limousine nicknamed `The Beast`.
The 18ft-long vehicle, a 2009 Cadillac, has 5inch-thick bullet-proof glass and is able to withstand chemical attack.
