Are you looking for a piece of pre-presidential history? Do you have $1 million sitting around? Then someone's got a deal for you.
A 2005 Chrysler 300C that was once leased by President Barack Obama when he was a U.S. Senator is up for sale on eBay. And the "opening bid" (meaning the lowest the seller will take) for the four-door sedan is just that whopping sum.
CNN reports that Chicago-area resident Lisa Czibor, who describes her self as a "life-long Ronald Reagan old-school conservative" is selling the car. She did not disclose how she managed to acquire the car that currently has just 20,800 miles on it.
Despite her best efforts, experts don't believe Czibor will get any near the $1 million she seeks at auction. For example, the hearse that John F. Kennedy following his 1963 assassination recently sold for $160,000. And the Kelly Blue Book value for a comparable car is only around $15,000.

Think again before you shell out all that cash for the shiny new green car.
Looking for that perfect hybrid to show off how green conscious you are? Well, Kelley Blue Book wants to caution you against buying that shiny new car, in the interest of maximizing your purchases. They've indicated in their new report that buying used hybrids will serve you better in the long-run. Here's why.
"Today, Kelley Blue Book is seeing values for hybrid vehicles drop off, underperforming the overall market and shedding the premium over non-hybrid compact alternatives," the press release reports. "Steady gas prices have been the main factor contributing to the lack of demand for hybrid vehicles," the report continues.
The report indicates that used vehicles offer a solution to the value versus environmental considerations. "For the Civic Hybrid, the break-even point is realized just shy of five years down the road as opposed...
