Pope Benedict's Old Car Up For Sale On e-Bay

London, England (AHN) -- A gray Volkswagen Golf once owned by Pope Benedict XVI is up for sale on e-Bay, with the current highest bid at $202,750. Proceeds from the auction will go to Habitat for Humanity Great Britain.

The Pope's private secretary bought the car from a dealer in Siegen in 1999 and sold it back to the dealer in 2004. In 2005 a young German student bought the car unaware of its previous owner, but later found out and sold it on eBay to the online casino Golden Palace for $245,000.

The car has not been driven since 2005 because Golden Palace only used it for promotional purposes. It has about 46,000 miles on it, but other details about its condition were not given.

The auction ends on April 14 at 9:18 British time.
