how much for old mini

18LLC · 12-14-2007, 11:48 AM

i'm trying to buy a old mini, bad condition, fuel leaking, engine oil leaking, transmission oil leaking, clutch wear out, need new paint job, need new seat(s), need new pipping. It's rhd car, owner asking for $7000, fix everything will be another $4k-5k(including mods that i will put on), worthy? tia for your opinion.

like old old mini?

F if i know bro.. sorry meng.. good luck, but maybe the 7k seems a bit too much if it's beat up. try for 4k dude. the owner maybe thinks this is a classic or something?!

Too expensive

For that price, you can at least find something with a decent interior/exterior and in simi-operating condition.

Last year I almost bought an absolute perfect, well maintained old cooper with a bit of rust for 8500, but backed out. You can find a nicer one elsewhere
