Hello everyone :)

Hello everyone,
I just joined the forum and I am looking forward to being a part of this online community As of right now I do not own a MINI but I am looking for one. If you can help I'm looking for a R56 in the L.A. or Ventura area. Low priced would be GREATLY appreciated.

It was an auction that was open to dealers or car brokers!!! So the only bad thing was you would have to find a broker. But he was able to look at minis at auctions all over the states, and find the right one for me. So your not limited to just classifieds. I told my broker what I wanted in the car and the price I wanted. It took a month for me to get the car I wanted but worth it.
