What a difference a few years makes.
Just seven years ago, Ronda Rousey was sleeping in her car while attempting to save enough money to pay for rent in Los Angeles after returning home from the 2008 Olympics.
The 2005 Honda Accord doubled as the judoka’s vehicle and residence before Rousey catapulted to superstar status in the world of mixed martial arts.
And recently, Rowdy gave the car to her sister and the piece of history, which has accumulated 156,000 miles and needs a new transmission, is now for sale on eBay.
If you’re having doubts as to why anyone would want to splash out €10,000 on an old, unspectacular car then perhaps the contents, including a number of Rousey’s old Judo medals, will be more appealing.
The eBay description in full is as follows.
There are many of Ronda’s personal belongings inside the car including medals, UFC programs from past events, patches, hats, and all kinds of random Ronda items. You can see from the eBay photos what all the items are that are located in the car. We (Ronda’s family) like to joke about all of the cool things you find in Ronda’s car. Every time you open the door, it’s is like an archeological dig! Also, Ronda did glue a few medals, patches, coins, and figurines to the inside of her car which probably aren’t going to come off.Below you can also view two YouTube videos of Ronda dancing, singing, and having fun in her 2005 Honda Accord.This car has 156,098 miles on it as of 5/31/15. Ronda’s mom might drive it to the grocery store or to the 7 Generation Games office once or twice before the car is sold, so the car might have about 10 additional miles on it before the new owner picks the car up.The car runs fine, but does need a new transmission. The new owner will need to pick the car up in Los Angeles, or make their own shipping arrangement.
If we had just another €9,936 then we’d be tearing this bidding war up.
