I saw this but am a little confused. Anyone else see this?

I want to think that it's a dummy ad, but I'm not sure. Just wondering what's up with that.....

The pictures are of different MINI convertibles. The asking price is $18,000 for who knows what? In one area it says MCS in pimp blue with all wheel drive and in the text it gives info on the MC. The VIN number is consecutive numbers. Obvious trickery afoot.

With the color listed as pimp blue and the interior as grey suede I would think that it is a joke.

For this fictitious MINI for sale I emailed the seller and got a response that the listing was a test post done by the person that started that site. It is completely bogus. Why are we not surprised. Like we would miss something like that motoring around in our small island? Mystery solved and case closed.

So keikilee, when are you converting your MC to a convertible like that one???

Wow - the MINI looks great as a convertible! No wonder people are clammering for it.
