R56 mini's with a bunch of work done dropping down below 10k. I loved my R56 mini, despite it being plagued by first year production issues. I've been thinking about dipping my toe back in the water for a daily. Something like the above that's had a bunch of somebody else's money spent on it already. |
I had an insane amount of trouble with my wife's '08 since new. Constantly at the dealer for BS codes, CEL, and whatnot. They eventually took the head off and cleaned it, rebuilt the turbo, and some other stuff. We had their courtesy car for 2 months. The warranty work alone during our 4 year ownership would have eclipsed $15K had the vehicle not had warranty. The dealer was great to deal with yet we lost faith in the car and sold it before the warranty was up.
Having said that, the car was an awesomely fun car. This one for sale doesn't list the LSD which I feel is a must have since Mini changed the LSD to a "traction control system" type of LSD in 2009 I believe which is fucking balls shitty. Perhaps a DIY'er with some BMW skill set could own this car and deal with it's issues and not get raped at a dealer. In that light I'd say you would have fun with the car
