Selling R52 LotSC (99 of 100) $8,000 O.B.O

Hi guys,

So long story short a year and a half I bought this mini and since then I've been taking really good care of it and also having a blast!
Due to my work I'm moving abroad and it's way to expensive to take the car with me, so I'm selling it.
Since I appreciatte all the support and information that you guys share in NAM I think it will be nice to post it here first in case someone is interested.

These are some of the pictures I took you can see more in the link.

In real estate, it is location, location, and location. In used car, it is mileage, mileage, and mileage.
Actually history of ownership is very important. e.g. You cannot reverse oxidation of the sheet metal. So you took very good care of it for 1 1/2 years. What about the rest of it life? Missing these crucial information, and tiny photos I doubt any serious buyer will bother.
