it was really broken up everywhere... it had a indent to the frame at the right side, a few deep scratches and the soft top roof was in terrible shape: it couldnt open up to a convertible and had rips to it, which can lead to horrible problems such as leaks and great damage at the winters. also they were asking for much more than expected, since on the website it says they are selling it for around 7 k and when i got there (an hour drive) they said in total it will be 10 k. i get there are tax and registration fee to consider but for a car like this 10k is nothing to even consider since i can lease a awsome car for the amount of years this mini will last for 10k.
