Check out this MINI on eBay. It seems so dodgy. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120026741992&fromMakeTrack=true. Apparently its in Brisbane which is (according to the listing) in Western Australia! It is also left hand drive, I've picked a few things about it and it sounds so dodgy, thought you guys might like a look.

First photo gives it away without even looking closely at the pic of the odometer that is showing miles n not kms.

That is a US spec car. They are the only ones that have those silly reflectors in the front plastic trims around the wheels.

plus some american cars dont have front numder plates, and notice there are no pics of the back, the only place it can be identified.

We contacted the seller to enquire about this car and it is actually located in Dublin Ireland, and the price is actually US dollars. Definitely a crock. At first I thought it was an imported car and the reason it was so cheap was the left hand drive.
