Anyone else see the MINI listd on Ebay with 50000 miles.

Now that is motoring, and I think it tops any claims made here thus far....

Oh man, JohnW, you're even more pathetic than I am

I've had my 02/02 build MINI Cooper for 13 months as my daily driver and I'm
just at 10,000 miles now.

Well, we'll be the ones with our original MINIs 10 years from now with under
a hunderd-K on the meter, so we get the last laugh.

With 50K on the odo, I'm thinking it was a demo/promo car.

I average 2.5k / month in the 3.5 months I've owned the car. So to get to 50K it'd be 20 months. Whew!

He has made a big adjustment for mileage, looks like he is willing to take under $16,000, and its already bid there. Be interesting to see what he gets in the end...

Hey my S is my main transportaion and I dive it 6 days a week. I now have 43000 miles on it. Purchased it 7/29/02. 313 days ago. That works out oto 137 mpd. If he drove it 170 his milage has got to be more.

I'll catch up very soon.

Purchased a MINI S 2003 in April 1st, 2003 and I already have 15,678 on it. That'll make it almost 90,000 miles per year. My 94 BMW 320 had 278,000 when I sold it last year. Now thats Motoring. I work in inland Empire and work in Carlsbad, CA.
