Hey ya'll!

Name's Cassie - Just wanted to stop and say hello - if you are selling, you might be hearing from me! At the moment, Im trying to sell my hand-me-down Saturn I've been driving through high school and college, and let me tell you - it's being held together by duct tape and bubble yum. I've been out of college for a year-n-a-half and I am at a place in my life where I can finally get myself a nice pretty shiny car... and I have absolutely fallen in love with MINI's. So if you have ad's posted in the marketplace, keep an eye out for me I could be placing an offer! Take care ya'll!

Welcome! I hope you find your MINI real soon. You'll love it when you do.

I can't tell where you're from, but if you're in the Northeast, you should definitely check this one out, unless you're looking for a new one.

Black Leather, heated sport seats, on board computer, sun roof, Climate control A/C, DSC, Fog lights, sport suspension plus, Multi Function Steering Wheel/cruise control, chrome line exterior, K&N panel filter, Moss stainless steel power steering fan guard, but otherwise no mods ever. Brand new MINI brand windshield, and just passed NJ inspection in February. Trans replaced under warrenty just before warrenty expired, and used Redline synthetic since, and it's been perfect.

Mounted Snows on 16" steel rims available at extra cost. Also have a pair of panther black leatherette, heated, non-sport seats from 2004 available at extra cost if you don't like the leather sports seats.

Never got less than 30 mpg on any tank (calculated every time). Oil changed with Castrol Syntech and MINI brand filters between each scheduled oil change (i.e. twice as often as recommended).

Garage kept both at home and at work. Everything works as it's supposed to, never smoked in, original paint everywhere (never in an accident). no curb rash on wheels.
We have had 2 minis for a few years, and can't justify two of the same thing, so we'll keep the Cooper S.

If the Saturn was a hand me down and living in the Northeast, wouldn't it be held together by "duct tape and bubble yum" and rust? (At least that was the case with the cars I drove through high school and college!)
