Two kids now in college reluctantly forces sale of this much-loved MINI !

 

A five year old car with an accident that has depreciated 7k? Hahaha You are crazy.

 

That's why it's an "asking" price. Run the TMV numbers on Edmunds and you will see the price is right in line for a private party sale for a car of this age, condition and mileage. I also have pics of the bumper repair underway at the body shop showing no damage to the metal body structure or paint at all.

Thanks and have a nice day.
