I've got one. But you can't have it.

Happy to give any info you're looking for, though.

What do you consider 'low mileage'?
I know of a nice '04, but it's got 50K.

Not sure if I mentioned it, but I also live in Santa Cruz, but work in Santa Clara, so I commute over 17 as well.

That's a nice specimen (and a good value) if you like the mods.
Jason is a good guy. It hasn't been driven to church by a little old lady, but it's been well maintained.
I think it used to have an AGS on it, so you want to make sure any alterations due to that have been appropriately addressed.

Try Good Stuff Auto in Santa Rosa. They usually have low to moderate mile quality MINIs with few mods (can't smog the car with many of the mods on the car above). See their current inventory at: http://goodstuffauto.com/mini.htm.

If you join REME they will give you a 10% discount on parts and labor on service and performance work. They are the shop that does all the high performance modifications on my car, so they know what they are selling.

Sorry - MINI speak. AGS - Air Gain System, an intake which required the cutting of one of the radiator hoses, and IIRC a support bolt for the throttle body.
I'll keep you in mind if I see anything. The market has softened quite a bit - it's a good time to buy.

Not really to picky, but I would prefer or should I say they would be a plus if it had bonnet strips, driving lamps, aero-kit, and nice mods etc. I am not too picky about color, and a warranty would definitely be a plus.

My buddy is selling his Mini:
http://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/car/380502969.html

Lots of mods on the car (more than what is listed on the ad), but he is planning on returning it back to stock before selling. Call him quick if you want the mods still on the car. Tell him Matt sent you.
