   Hello,

   Thank you for your interest about my car. Sorry for the delayed response, but I’m in Glasgow (Scotland) right now and I have been very busy. The total price of the 2007 MINI Cooper S is $8,400.00USD . THIS IS MY LAST PRICE. I’ll not negociate the price. The car is registered and located in United States. I want to keep the car for me, but I cannot register it here, as it is made for the USA market, according to US standards. So, I decided to sell it.
   A few words about the car:
   -2007 MINI Cooper S
   -Mileage: 27,478
   -Manual
   -Title is clean.
   -Engine: 4 Cylinders
   -Exterior: Red
   -Interior: Black
   -VIN#: WMWMF73577TL87376
   The car is like new, in perfect conditions, accident free, no scratches, no special marks, no need for additional repairs what so ever. A genuine road runner ready to be yours, but only if you shall understand and you won’t make me loose time as it has already happened to me. I don’t have your number to call you.

   If you have any question please don’t hesitate to reply.

   Thank you again for your interest.

   Hello,

   The car is in perfect working condition. It’s accident-free and has a clean and clear title. The car is in Atlanta, GA in possession of eBay. I’m selling this car for $2,900.00 US including shipping at your address. I would like to use eBay Vehicle Protection Program to handle this transaction for our both safety and comfort (they take care of the shipping, documents and payment).

   If you are still interested just send me your full name and shipping address, phone# and I will open a Case ID and eBay will contact you with all the information about our deal.

   Thank you,
   April
