San Diego CA
I am posting this for a nice owner to help her out. i test drove the car and liked it very much. (I have never owned a mini, but have lusted for one one for a while.) in the end i decided to wait for the 2007, otherwise it would be in my driveway. my inspection found the car to be perfect except for light stains on the gray upholstery (driver and passenger) I dont know if these would come out. they are light so i would think so, especially with a professional detailing. it seemed to pull a little to the right while we were on surface streets. however, at 70mph on the freeway, we let go of the wheel and all was straight.
she told me the car was delivered to her in may 06. she purchased in texas (car was delivered in a truck). it has texas plates. NO FRONT PLATE ADAPTER has been attached. she has one though.
wheels are not scraped. did not find any flaws on paint. has been lighly tinted on all windows. she has the paperwork. 15% 30% if i recall. the roof has also been tinted.
I think (my opinion) this was a heck of a deal. the sticker was over 24k and did not include the tint, tire warranty, or the dealer installed driving lights.
she told me she is selling because she lives and works downtown and drives very rarely. going to get a scooter. i have posted all i know so i guess i will just leave it to you all to contact her if interested via the phone # below. i dont think her email address is correct on the ad. i contacted her on it and did not hear back but she was responsive via phone.
