https://dcmetrominis.org/forum/discover/DC Metro MINIs - All ActivityenG1 Manuals are priced strangely high. I guess b/c the owner feels like they are rare or only enthusiasts would be buying them. I can't find any low laying fruit to pick! I drove a 2012 MINI Cooper S with 140,000 miles on it. It felt ROUGH to drive. I guess with a new clutch, gearbox, or something I would like it. But, they were asking $9,000 for it.Mon, 12 Oct 2026 16:24:42 +0000The manager said he'd check with me the week prior for the final number, I'll make sure you and Tod are added to the count.Mon, 12 Oct 2026 14:04:48 +0000Sorry it has taken me so long to respond. Jill is not going since she teaches, but I am bringing my brother-in-law (Tod) along. We are leaving Wednesday and heading backroads to Lock Haven, PA (Fairfield Inn) the first night.
