Are looking for a deal on a used Mercedes E-Class Convertible?  Because I know of one for sale.  It’s in Colombia, and it’s for sale because the owner is taking the Pope’s advice.

Bogota priest Father Hernando Fayid of Colombia is selling his cabrio (asking prince: $63k) because Pope Francis’ unexpected visit to the Vatican garage thousands of miles away in Rome.

“My heart aches when I see a priest using the latest model of a car,” the Pope said at the weekend, urging priests, nuns, bishops and cardinals to get more modest wheels. 

“A car is necessary to do a lot of work, but please, choose a more humble one.  If you like the fancy one, just think about how many children are dying of hunger in the world,” he said.

The former cardinal Jorge Bergoglio eschews the Mercedes Pope Mobile when getting around the Vatican, preferring a Ford Focus instead. 

Father Fayid says his ride was a gift from his brother.
