The top bid as of this morning on eBay Motors: $101,100.
It's an eight-cylinder four-door sedan, blue-gray, with just 20,801 miles on it.
Its Blue Book value is around $13,500, said Donald Moore, the general manager of Rosenthal Chrysler and Jeep in Arlington, Va. Moore estimated that Obama bought the car for about $32,000.
He sold it early in his presidential campaign and bought a hybrid.
The eBay seller wasn't identified. Bidding ends on Inauguration Day.
