2002 Mini Cooper S engine swap
- engine
- transmission
- axles
- shift linkage
- all accessories originally bolted to the engine
- no more than 15K miles (I forget the exact number)

new lower price --> $3000 plus shipping

Engine is located in Raleigh, NC. I would be much more flexible on the price if someone could pick it up in person and I didn't have to deal with shipping.





Selling because I don't drive the car that much anymore and it'll probably be a long time before I have a use for it.

So what engine is in your Mini now?

 

One of these just sold on ebay a few weeks ago for $1995 with the craddle and suspension - check the completed auctions.

I guess you should have bought that one then... or were you just being an *** for the hell of it? They've also sold for more than my asking price on ebay too... which is also irrelevant.

 

The engine that it came from the factory with. The engine I'm selling is not out of my car.

 

How much for the header?

Are you willing to sell parts of the engine?

 

I for one always appreciate the additional input from others when it comes to the cost for things on NAM (or when referred to ebay). He wasn't demeaning in any way and there's no need to reduce yourself to name-calling so quickly.

Thanks to CabMike for helping others make an educate decision!!!

 

My stance is that if you're not a potential buyer, you shouldn't be posting in the thread at all. On MOST forums, criticizing someone's asking price is against the rules for that very reason.

 

Price of header with cat? Parts on engine for sale?

 

$3000 obo

 

Well....since the speed limit in the US is typically 65 mph is that what you're going to do on the autobahn??? Probably not, and there are no rules here that prohibit members from providing potentially useful information on the fair market value of items for sale. Is it possible that things like that are what make NAM the most popular site for MINI owners? If it doesn't work for you then go to 'MOST' of the other forums to sell something.

 

Apparently, you're too intent on arguing with me to actually read my posts... Take your time, and read this slow... maybe read it again if you're having a hard time...

Pretending that one ebay auction determines "market value" is obsurd. If that were the case, then this one just set market value at $4200

oh wait... this one just set it at $4600

Then, maybe I could go to http://car-part.com and search. I'd find that most all of the complete and undamaged engine/tranny combos are selling for $3000 or more from salvage yards - which is typically the most accurate assessment of "market value".

As a seller, I'm pretty confident that a serious buyer would contact me directly discuss pricing. Making offhand comments about your opinion of "market value" just shows that you've got no interest in buying and are just wasting my time.

For the record, I've seen EVERY cooper engine that's gone through ebay in the last year and a half and believe me, I know what they're selling for. The $2000 engine was the cheapest one to ever sell. Assuming (and that's a big assumption) that there was nothing wrong with it, and the deal actually went through, then someone got a good deal. Am I trying to sell mine for the absolute lowest price anyone's paid? No, and most others wouldn't either.

 

Just as you were far to quick to postulate that someone else on this forum was an "***" simply for providing other potentially useful historical price information, you have also made a hasty assumption that I was arguing about the price you are asking. Look at my posts and you will see that I never said anything of the sort and only encouraged the NAM community to continue providing input for all other members.

Perhaps if, instead of jumping on the name-calling bandwagon so quickly, you had started by responding with the potentially useful historical information you are now posting you would have only benefitted yourself and the NAM community. Now that this information is posted here, hopefully someone will get a good deal on this item you're selling and the transaction goes smoothly!

 

Hey, you still have that motor sitting around?
