Wonder Why It Doesn't Sell?

This Mini has been for sale on eBay for about three months straight. Gee, I wonder why?

It's Special

It's a special mini that requires a special buyer.

So, is the Mini a "Special Needs" case... or the previous owner! Poor thing.

The potential buyer could trade the trim pieces for black ones to someone with a LY MCS. Otherwise, I agree, it's a special mini that requires a special Packer fan.

It's bold & I like that but would prefer a different 2-color combo but the fact that it's an automatic kills it for me

Heard over the PA:

"Paging Brett Favre. You're MINI has arrived. Now that you've ended the suspense as to whether or not you are playing next year, please remove your car from our showroom"


Apologies, I am a Bear's fan.

Its a perfect example of the seller trying to get money back on mods ... not going to happen.

That's one of those water air intercooler intercoolers. Costs twice as much as just a plain old WAIC.
