Kate Middleton’s Car Hits eBay

Kate Middleton’s pre-owned 2001 Volkswagen Golf car is now on auction on eBay.

The Duchess of Cambridge purchased the car in November of 2001 for £10,818. She then gave the car to younger brother James in February 2007. James Middleton then sold the car to Sonny Brazil’s father in 2009.

Brazil, on the other hand, put the car up for auction on eBay last Friday with a starting bid of £20,000 (US $32,242.00), almost double the original amount in 2001.

“I went to an auction house in Dorset a few weeks ago and they said it would be worth £30,000 pounds [$48,363] plus, purely because of the name in the log book,” Brazil told the Daily Mail.

With five days to go on the auction, bidding has already hit £25,100 (around $40,000). The seller, who has owned the car since 2009, hasn’t disclosed the car’s reserve price, so it’s unclear just what it will take for this Volkswagen Golf to find a new owner.
