Car Forum / MINI / March 2006Rover Mini Cooper S For Sale
For Sale: Rover Mini Cooper with Sportspack 1997 'P' 59k Miles (i think) Almond Green, White Roof / Stripes Matching leather interior Drivers airbag Alloy wheels Taxed Now here's the problem: No MOT Interior is very clean and from the outside the body looks fine. The garage say it needs major welding underneath, and some other work. I can find out exactly what if anyone is interested, viewing could also be arranged. Starting price £2500 though open to offers.. Would make a good repair project for any enthusiast with the time/money. Email me if interested: stewart.jackson AT cpbbflex.co.uk -- Stu For Sale: Rover Mini Cooper with Sportspack 1997 'P' 59k Miles (i think) Almond Green, White Roof / Stripes Matching leather interior Drivers airbag Alloy wheels Taxed Now here's the problem: No MOT Interior is very clean and from the outside the body looks fine.

Email me if interested: stewart.jackson AT cpbbflex.co.uk -- Stu What £2500 when it has no MOT and it needs major welding work which also means it no doubt needs a new rear subframe too! I think someone's having a laugh? Why don't they get it fixed, get it MOT'd and then ask £2500? Taffy Ok, I was expecting some sort of reply like that. :) So suggest a price, out of interest what would you pay for a car that needs major welding? > Ok, I was expecting some sort of reply like that. :) > > So suggest a price, out of interest what would you pay > for a car that needs major welding? major welding, I won't upset anyone, but it the under side needs major welding rust will be present else where, ;-) Steve. If it needs major welding it isn't worth a lot. It probably needs a new shell. 2000 + paint plus putting back together + whatever falls to pieces when you do it.

You are selling the car 'as seen' for spares or repair - that's hundreds, not thousands. Probably two to three. If you get five or six you are lucky. £200 - 300 > Ok, I was expecting some sort of reply like that. :) > > So suggest a price, out of interest what would you pay > for a car that needs major welding? > £200 - 300 Get a grip people. If its a standard cooper that year with a healthy enough engine then it's worth even a grand as spares. Been breaking mini's long enough to know that! Take a look at this: http://www.hbc.co.uk/cgi-bin/zyview/D=vehicles/V=bidding/R=3006806 At the time of posting it was upto £215 with a couple of days to go. Its a catD write off which means it could easily be repaired and wont say on the logbook it's accident damaged, unlike a catC. Even a copy set of sportspack wheel and tyres was £575 new last time I bothered to look. How much are leather interiors going for nowadays? I do believe that genuine doors are £200 a pop new so his second hand ones would be £75 each, especially to someone with an almond green car.wood dash and clocks are worth a fair bit as they'll be the late rover set - maybe with cream dials and probably with the cutout for the stereo. Disc brake setup is worth £50 at least Piffle - love to see you try to get the parts this car has for £2-300. You'd be lucky to get an un-rusty bare shell of a clubman estate for that. Chris >> £200 - 300 > [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > > Chris You have a point, will probabaly get more breaking it, although its probabaly worth getting a 2nd mini expert to check the amount of welding, you know what garages are like, Steve. >>>£200 - 300 >> [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > > Steve. So take the good parts off , take it to a pub auto park and sell bashs £2 for three bashings donate the money to a childrens program. you end up with the good parts, and money from people needing to vent on an material object going to a good cause. > >>>£200 - 300 > >> [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > > probabaly worth getting a 2nd mini expert to check the amount of welding, > > you know what garages are like, Well if it needs welding underneath, then that generally means it needs new outer sills, but it then probably needs new inner ones too? And perhaps steps and a new rear subframe just to be on the safe side? Anyway if the mileage is genuinely low, what have you been doing to it for it to get in that state? Have you been washing the under-side with salt water or something? > > Steve. > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > you end up with the good parts, and money from people needing to vent on > an material object going to a good cause. >> £200 - 300 > >Get a grip people.

This guy is trying to sell it as an MoT failure for spares or repair. Of course he would get more if he broke it himself. > Yes, if somebody is prepared to break it.

It is worth more than that as it is, in my opinion. Chris Thanks for all your replies, we are going to get a second opinion on the MOT/welding cost and will probably end up getting the work done. It should be up for sale soon after, so I'll post again when its ready.. :) -- Stu |
