I have posted the car on the Mini Mania site and am surprised at the lack of interest in my car!

could be the choice in paint color ...... sometimes those things are hard for others to look past.... and a repaint added to the purchase price equals more than what someone values your mini at... I kind of like though good luck with the sale

I would buy it if I didn't have one already. I really don't need another one. I would like to think someone would buy it for that price. I really would buy it if I didn't have one. I like the color because it is different. nice car
