Is this a good buy?

[Burba]

Potentially looking at this car - does anyone know the owner or the car itself?
What should I specifically be looking at?

Any bargaining tips?

Thanks!

Nice seats! And I love the colour (I would same as same colour combination as mine). It has the chilli pack so that is good, and in my opinion essential for resale etc.

Buy as new as you can afford would be a good guide.

Sure someone will be along in a moment to tell you what you should / should not look for....or try posting on some of the mini forums for more advice (mini2 / newminiscotland / northernmini to name 3)

Think that looks good personally

Baring in mind TLC has just run out, I have all the details up here, and it looks ok, should have a 6 disc changer according to this..

was a bit cautious as it doesn't have climate control - makes me wonder what other 'typical luxuries' it might not have?

Well I have the BMW system up here and I can tell you EXACTLY what it had when it was built. What do you want to know?

Bar the nav, its actually not got that many things on it.

£17,960 before on the road costs.

Wow - fantastic!

Could you tell me what the full spec of the car is then - inc standard items?

Considering the results, is it still a good find?
