I'm looking at buying a MINI in Richmond, VA. Being in California, it's a long way to go for a test drive. I'd feel much better if a fellow NAMer could take it for a drive and let me know if anything seems strikingly wrong with it.
If you're out there, please PM me.

Thanks!

 

Sure, I'm in Richmond (just outside actually) and live about 5 miles from Crown MINI of Richmond. Are you looking at a MINI being sold by a private party or over at the dealer? I could probably take a look for you.

 

And I live about 110 miles from them. They had a few issues, were I didn't get my programmable options, didnt get my alarm and wasn't told it wasn't in till after I went to pick it up. Problems is they going to charge you this 599 dealer prep fee which is suppose to be a whole bunch of detailings, yet I doubt your going to drive from California to VA for a detailing. I don't think I'm even driving 110 miles for a detailing.

 

I am guessing you are buying it from a private seller right?
