dont know carfax was clean and it was bought from the local mini dealer one owner car, talked to the salesman who sold it new he said it was an older guy maybe he didnt like the rough ride of the run flats, car drives great and there is not a ding on it, i really think the toyota dealer wasnt sure what they had, the nada book doesnt add for packages, took me a year to find what i wanted used almost bought a new one but kept waiting and she popped up on autotrader one day and went down the next and got it, i am really excited as it has the exact features i would order but does not have leather, which i might add later also gonna add sirius soon, maybe spolier

Dark Silver, a very nice color for the non-color minis. I would have gone that route, after red and blue choices. Enjoy!

Hi I am new here, a MC virgin you might say. Yes it is 2 am and I am still looking at everything I can find.
Just got my new baby tonight, 2008 MCCS, Astro Black (which looks blue to me) pre owned with 18k and clean car fax! It is well stocked with most options but one thing is missing, the owners manuel and the bluetooth instructions...it was worth it for 22k I think, am I right???
Her name is Sulli as it means "little dark eye" in Irish.

Welcome!! You can download the manuals at the Mini the owners' lounge: https://ol.miniusa.com/

Once you register your mini, go to "your mini" and you will find the link on the left side to download the manuals (under "owner's manual")

Happy motoring!

i think that is a good price for southern cal, i almost got astro black but the dark grey had less miles, mine did not have manual either, i got one at my local mini dealer for free, not the norm but they were great, i have got to get these run flats off, anybody have suggestions for a nice cushy tire, the blue-tooth manual is separate i did with out the manual but it did take me a few times before it took, i have to say once done it works great,
