    With the last 7 characters of the VIN you can contact MINI 866-ASK-MINI, and find out all the options the cars was delivered with.

    Price sounds about right. Not a super deal but certainly not a rip-off.

    '07s have plenty of teething issues. There are fixes for them though. Nathan, can that same call with the VIN find out what TSBs and/or recalls have been performed as well?

    Thanks, I'll try to make it.

    FYI when you call Mini they give you the dealer that sold it and they gave me the info.

    They said no leather or lsd but with hifi. I just can't figure out why vinyl has come back with a fancier name.

    German vinyl = leatherette :smilewinkgrin: If it is lounge leather it will have white piping on the seats I believe.

    Is lounge leather really vinyl?

    Lounge leather is real leather. The white piping is vinyl.
