The eBay page says, "frh23 won this item with a Best Offer of US $23,500.00."


Hmm.. I don't know whether to be jealous, mad, or totally happy for the steal- i mean deal you got on that! I'll go for happy- CONGRATULATIONS!!

Why was the car sold as is, was anything wrong with it? I know seller's do that to protect themselves, but a 2007 "AS IS" is weird - it has a warranty on it right!

I'm glad I have your support. The car is much less feminine than I expected. Pictures of MINI's make them overly round. Much better in real life.
