The funny thing is that some poor bastard will actually think that it is a six cylinder. LOL

I guess the extra 2 cylinders explain the outrageous asking price.

Oh and it has both CD player and cassette. I suppose it could be an aftermarket unit - but I doubt it.

Good for a laugh.

You guys be nice. Evidently he's taken the 3 cylinder engine out of a couple of Hondas that are sold in Japan and put both of them into his MINI. Two engines would certainly bring the price way up.

I'm offended he would throw down that much B/S anywhere near the Motor-City!

The asking price is too high, and his advertising skills suuuuk
what're the options, for real?


I'll stick with waiting for another few months
my $0.02

That is why, I am so far behind the trend. I have yet to purchase anything from EBAY!

What a loser! No wonder not one bid has been made. If the seller is a member of MCO .... well let's just say " I hope not!".

Outside of the real 6cyl M3 MINI, that must be a rare machine there

I would think, to fit, it would have
to be a slant six. Some of you may
not be old enough to remember that
mechanical marvel.

I think I know what's going on here. This Cooper has 6 airbags. "Cyl." is an old Ann Arbor slang term for "supplemental restraint system units".

OK, as long as we're picking on goofy eBay ads for MINIs, check out this one.

The best line in the description is:

It is a 6-speed manual 16 valve turbo charged transmission
I kid you not.

This is too easy.

This one has
Bi-xenon headlights keep the road well lit at night.
I don't know if this is sort of like bisexual, or perhaps it means that the car simply has two headlights. Hey, that's novel.

I guess the moral to this story is to stay away from Used Car dealers. And, how did a Chevy dealer get a MINI anyway? Think someone traded it in for a Tahoe?
