2002 Mini Cooper S
 

Ok, I might be putting the Honda game on the back burner. I just got a Mini Cooper S with sport package and leather package for $4000, nothing wrong with it just needs tires. Worth it?

Re: 2002 Mini Cooper S
 

Is it worth it... YOu don't deserve it if your asking or your just flossing that ---- in our faces. Is it totalled or something for only 4000?

Re: 2002 Mini Cooper S
 

That's a bad ass deal for a nice little car. Got to drive my buddy's base model Cooper, and it was still fun to play with

Re: 2002 Mini Cooper S
 

Thats def. a good deal from what i've seen, too bad they look soooo gay.

Re: 2002 Mini Cooper S
 

I was wondering the same thing. Why did you get a 15K car for 4K? is it totaled, wrecked to ---- and flux'd back together or was it stolen? Sweet deal if the car is legit but over 10K less than its worth is crazy.

Pics?

congrats, you just bought a chick car.

Re: 2002 Mini Cooper S
 

my buddy has one with exhaust and a pulley and its pretty fun but not all that fast. id autocross it if i ever got one

Re: 2002 Mini Cooper S
 

+1 I think a Cooper S on a track would be a bad ass way to spend a day.

Re: 2002 Mini Cooper S
 

just upgrade the boost parts, and those cars are a blast. also cool how there is so much room in such a small car. im 6'2" and i fit with no knee knocking.

Re: 2002 Mini Cooper S
 

ok, an update:

I bought the car but then found out it need over $6k in repairs. Almost none of the maintenece or needed parts can be bought other than oem.........Plus me living in germany all my repairs owuld have to be done at BMW since Bosch and everyone else woudlnt touch it......it came out to be a $15k projest to get it up to standard.



well it was a good steal.

Re: 2002 Mini Cooper S
 

So you bought the car before you found all that out? so you REALLY thought you were buying a 5 year old car for 15K less than it was worth becuae it needed tires?

can someone explain what this thing is that i am looking at? :1

Re: 2002 Mini Cooper S
 

It is the supercharger. You are looking at the water pump drive gearbox.

BMW in their infinite wisdom decided to drive the water pump off the back of the supercharger in a sealed oil bath case.

Then i guess he really did think a new set of tires dropped teh price 10-15K. Sucks that you got a raw deal but damn dude, you should do a little more homework before you buy it. can you get your dough back?

+10,000,000
