Hey guys,

Been hiding away waiting for a mini to pop up, currently looking at this one, but just need to know if anyone knows anything about it, and whether anyone near Maroubra would be willing to have a look at it if the owner isn't on here and known, just to make sure it's a good buy.

Definitely willing to pay the individual who's happy to go out and have a look at it for me.

Thanks,
Shaan

I don't know the car, but it's really pretty - a lovely original matic like that is very close to the top of my wish list

This one was 9K tops I believe
This was some months ago.


He's had it for sale for a long while, and has obviously dropped the price a bit, could be quite easy to barter.

Although I haven't seen the car in person, I would say the price drop reflects the lack of buyers for matics.
Everyone wants a fast manual, no love for matic charm.

Have seen it. Looks good in pics cause it is white. Gearbox is poor - will need a lot of money spent on it.... i moved on ages ago. Even at half the price i would be reluctant,unless you are a panelbeater,spraypainter,mechanic,gearbox specialist, which i am not .

Douglas either really wants to discourage me from buying it because he wants it, or hes saving me a lot of hassle :P

or alluding to the fact you might have plenty of scope to bargain the price accordingly.
