Whats the worse place you've seen

a used MINI for sale?

You know the worst used car lot..pics would be nice(or sad)...I figure when we start seeing commonly seeing MINI's at rat hole used car dealers the thrill will be gone from the marque.

Wait, is that the one that had the big "Turbo" sign on the windshield or something? If not, that was still funny. A turbo MINI! Ahahaha

No, Global is the MINI dealership in Atlanta that is not competent to do an oil change or any other "service" on a MINI.

Not that I would, but I guess it would be ok to buy a car from them as long as you never let them touch it with a wrench.

When we test drove an RX8 (before getting the MINI) the guy at the dealership couldn't drive a stick. He admitted as much, but said he'd give it a shot. He stalled it three times before I convinced him to let me take it off the lot. The cars were parked so close together I was afraid he was going to hit one of the other ones. Poor guy.

In my home town, MINIs usually are only on the lot for less than a week. The seller? Well, they have cars ranging from Porsche, Mercedes, Lexus, and BMW. So it's hardly Weird Wally's, the name of that place says it all.
