    You might want to ask your buyer if they want an 'in-and-out'. My dealership in Dallas did one for me when I bought a MINI back in 2006. You technically sell your car to the dealership, who then sells it to the new buyer. That way it's all above board and both sides might feel more at ease. The dealership will also help with all of the tax,tag, title paperwork. I think they usually charge $100-150, but I got 'em to throw it in as a part of the transaction on the new car.

    Just a thought!

    Very, very nice-looking MINI! Your color choices and interior trim selection is truly masterful.

    now that i have banged out the first 1200 miles on her i figure i would give an update...

    first off...she is quick! dont let the size fool you she can run...i am having to relearn on a new platform but whether or not she is in sport mode you hit the gas and she takes off...i have noticed a bit of turbo lag but the power comes in a lump...

    the AWD system works as advertised...i turned the DSC off and took a couple sharp corners with her and you can really feel it working plus at 70+ mph the system turns off and it turns into a FWD car...according to the car im averaging about 31.7mpg and thats in just the first 1k miles...ive noticed with each fill up the milage keeps improving...

    with this JCW i think they took the turbo muffler out of the intercooler piping and you cant hear it just as loud but right off the bat if you rev her up you will hear the blow off valve...also the exhaust was quiet in the beginning but now that its started to carbon up the burble is back baby

    i suspect there will be more paceman owners soon...i even got stopped by a good ol boy and his wife in kentucky and after they asked all the questions his wife asked where the nearest dealer was...and the look on her face to her husband spoke that he gets no say in this haha

    pt2 of epic road trip will commence next wednesday with hopefully if the weather holds a trip to the top of pikes peak:Thumbsup:
