I don't really like any of these options. (AZN voice) PRICE TOO HIGH!

Truthfully I haven’t been looking at the links you’ve posted, so not sure how these San Diego offerings stack up against them. But if you find something here that’s decent it’s a quick flight and easy trek back home.
SD is in fact in my search radius... but I haven’t seen anything decent down there yet. There was a forum bro down there ... but it wasn’t the best dildo. Appreciate the look out.


The one you linked is a 2wd bromobile :doe: that’s priced about 8k too high.
Yeah I missed the 2WD posted. Whoops.

I mostly just want you to come down here so we can rebuild the German-Russian relations.

A 2 Door 2020 is around 28.3k... which is nearly what an FJ runs with 80k miles... UGH.

Does anyone know if the Wrangler has Keyless entry at least standard? :aincare: about the rest. I can't deal with using a KEY to do shit.
It appears to have push button start in that pic? SO I would assume so... when you say keyless entry do you mean like an unlock button on a fob or the walk up to it shit?

Button on fob I know the other shit costs $495 and I don’t care about that either

I have no interest in them as I mentioned several times. They are also not cheaper or better in any way

So... Mini looks like it lost 8k since I purchased it... I haven't learned my lesson.

Issues:
My drivers seat squeaks like a sun of a bitch... looks like I'll have to dick with that to see what may be causing it.

Alignment is still off, after 2 trips to the :dillerman: the steering wheel is still cocked to the left a bit when i go straight. :wtf:

Yep. This is what happens when you get the car you WANT BRO. My all in was 25k for the car + 2.5k in cali rape tax... 27.5k... Private party is listed as 19k according to KBB and 17.5k trade in... so could be as much as 10k :hubba: mini lost me an entire RANGE ROVER :disgust:

Crickets out here!

Also I noticed that mini gets significantly better MPG if driven in the "Green err Greta" mode. I did it for a tank and averaged nearly 29mpg... which is :nice: I'll do a :fullretard: sport only tank as well.

I parked next to a JCW today that was truly a clowncar. Red with gold stripes and the union jack roof. :gag: Worst color combo I've seen.

Y'all got that cheap cheap gas :doe: we got a lot better, we're in the "mid 3s" for premium... for no reason whatsoever. Which is much easier to swallow than closer to $5 where we were not long ago.

So I am officially scheduled to travel to Europe 2/9>2/21 so it seems that a move is unlikely on my end until then. Mr I KNOW WHAT I HAVE BRO here has had his car listed for a month now... If it doesn't sell by the time I am back I will make him an offer he will likely refuse once again. :scrooge: I think my upper limit is 28/29... which seems far off his price still.

I run 90 ethanol free in :truk: it's almost $3 :aintcare: it runs better. 93 crept upto 3.30 with that whole Iran ordeal now back down to 3.03-3.09 where it was all last year.

$23.5k for this. I'll bring it back with me in March.

Sport+ = base mode in the Mini, the green mode is like the mid mode in the BMW. The throttle mapping in the non M cars is :disgust:

Yep. no way around it.

Also looks like I drove the mini 5000 miles already... wow.. in 3 1/2 months. And I don't even feel like I drive it that much.
