That guy's selling the car that previously belonged to Ratzinger/Benedict. Current bidding : ~41.000€, 6 days left. For an ordinary VW Golf.

Is that a lot of money?
Me speak no German.

The Euro and the Dollar had similar values at one point. Although with the dollar so low at the moment who knows what it's worth now.

41'000 € =  52'877.7 $

Except that Ratzinger hasn't lived in Germany for something like 20 years, and probably hasn't driven humself for even longer.....

I also read that he doesn't even have driving license. Probably had a driver for quite some time. However - the scans supplied with the auction are from official documents, and it's no fake.

Yeah, but with a car like that it would supposedly be immune from all harm. That, or I want my money back.

His middle name is Kardinal?

I was hopin' it might be one of those funky converted Range Rovers......

No, that would be his title.  The word "Cardinal" is generally placed between the first and last names.

It just seems strange for an official document...
