WASHINGTON -- A luxury Chrysler sedan President-elect Barack Obama drove before winning the White House is being auctioned off on eBay. Starting bid: $100,000.

Tim O'Boyle, the general manager of a restaurant in Hillside, Ill., is selling Obama's steel blue 2005 Chrysler 300C Hemi on the Internet auction site, hoping to cash in on history. The price is a cool $1 million under eBay's "Buy It Now" option.

"In my mind, it's a one-of-a-kind car," O'Boyle said Wednesday.

Obama leased the car in 2004 at Park Plaza Dodge in Forest Park, Ill., and swapped it for a Ford Escape hybrid in 2007. It was transferred back to the dealership, where O'Boyle bought it last February.

Before driving off, "one of the guys over at the car dealership said, 'You better hold on to that thing,'" said O'Boyle, an Obama supporter. "I said, 'Why's that? And he said, 'Because it used to belong to Obama.'"

O'Boyle tried to sell it on eBay in December, but stopped when his accountant told him to wait until he had owned it for a year for tax reasons. O'Boyle said the top bid on eBay was $125,100, and another person contacted him offering $150,000.

The Kelley Blue Book values a 2005 Chrysler 300C in excellent condition at $15,750.
