So Dale Jr. is selling his car on EBay through an account with 0 feedback? Let me jump right in and make a bid. I will gladly send the money through Western Union.

"Upgrading" his car collection so he's selling his 2002 MINI with only 3,124 original miles? 270 hp....

I'm sure that magic marker on the visor will come right off with a little goo-gone!

They can do that? I should've asked to have the # pulled while I was getting my MINI worked on today.*innocent it was at Sebring a few months ago, see my sig for proof*

I'm thinking some one saw him in a parking lot somewhere and asked him to stand next to the car to get a few pics.

It might be for real since the ad does say that the winning bidder can receive the vehicle from Dale Jr personally so that part would be kinda hard to fake I mean I wouldn't hand over the check to anyone but Junior himself

It's an S. note the bonnet scoop, gas cap, sidemarker lights, rear wing, no battery under the bonnet, factory intake between the SC and intercooler. If the car started out as a cooper than somebody spent more money making a fake MCS than the could of bought a real one for. Now if it's really owned by Dale Jr. thats a whole other story.

I think it's for real because it says:
Dale Jr. has personally autographed the sun visor, and he is willing to autograph the dash if desired by the new owner. The winning bidder will be given the opportunity to receive the vehicle personally from Dale Jr. at his home in North Carolina. This vehicle is being offered through Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s company, JR Motorsports. In addition, the payment method will be processed through JR Motorsports. Once the auction is complete, we will contact you by phone with further instructions regarding acceptance of loan check or money order, and we will arrange a time and date for you to come and receive your vehicle personally from Dale Jr.
Plus he has another auction for his autographed CARS jacket.

I also think he just goofed by not saying it was an "S"

It is an S. Run it in CARFAX and it says that it's an MCS. Sweet looking MINI, I do have to give it to JR there.

I don't buy it. If it really belongs to Dale Jr, why would it have the cheap stick-on CF dash? Wouldn't you think he had more than the means to get the real thing?

With Dale Jr's kinda money, im sure it was a fully loaded MCS..with the NAV kit and probably some JKW add on's just because.
I think it looks pretty sweet! I want to tint my windows the same % he has...I wonder what it is??
Do you think he'd drop the price if we mentioned he probably has rust under the weatherstriping on his doors...(just like every other '02 out there)
