Seller needs to step up their photog game, indoor pix look pretty shiddy.
Also, they listed recent service items: New tires installed
Cooling system flush
Engine oil pan gasket replaced
Crank sensor o ring replaced
Engine oil service
But didn't mention anything about the motor mount which as typical, looks as if its gave up the ghost --- perhaps they did replace it, but if so why didn't they clean the residual crap that oozes out of those crappy stock mounts?
For an ask of $10,000, such details should be taken care of in my opinion.
^^^^^ Totally agree. If they've taken the time to detail the rest of the under bonnet, take the bloody wheel well liner off and clean the goop off of there. Especially when asking that kind of money. Still a very nice MINI, tho.

Just an idea, but you could (a) call and ask those questions or (b) email and ask those questions. Also, just my opinion, but I think he takes pretty decent photos, particularly as compared to other small dealers

I like that he takes a good number of photos, but dislike the fact that they are taken indoors that make them quite dark and difficicult to discern finer detail which would be more evident in natural lighting.
You can barely even read the JCW badge, and the brake lights appear to be hazed yet it is hard to actually tell.
Also,
geez, for a $10,000 car you'd think that the seller would (A) remove ratty carpet floormats (B) at least clean them properly,
or (C) replace them with nice factory rubber ones which are only around $50.
The grubby looks of them detract from what is otherwise a nicely preserved interior.

Well, I've seen the car in person .. and I can confirm that the John Cooper Works badge reads . . . . John Cooper Works.
