One owner car, never tracked, autocrossed or abused in any way. Engine and suspension have never been modified. Has been absolutely reliable, minimal maintenance required outside scheduled events. Everything works, AC blows cold, car rides well over bumps and handles great. Recent thermostat (and coolant) replacement and accessory belt, always synthetic oil and Mini filter. Really a lot of fun, I believe this is the last year with a proper mechanical LSD.

Valve cover gasket is messy, does not drip onto floor so it must be very slow. Tiny dent near rear wheel arch, slightly larger one on the hood (see pictures). Rear bumper was resprayed in 2009? after a very minor bump that resulted in an imprint of license plate hardware. See picture after incident, very trivial and completely repaired.

17" wheels with deep tread Continental DWS tires with TPMS sensors. Tinted windows, JL Audio speakers, JCW black grill trim and body colored headlight surrounds. JCW steering wheel not included, car will be fitted with the stock leather steering wheel that was used for 30 miles, so like new. I should have the original chrome finish grille trim as well.

Both keys, original documentation, window sticker included.

Hi, I am interested in your car. Would you consider 6K pending inspection of course?

Thanks for the reminder, car is long gone and happy. Good luck finding something like this for $6k.
