Description:
2002 Mini Cooper S Track Car
I’m selling the whole car but you’re really buying over 20k in almost new parts with a shell. The car cranks and runs but needs a new head gasket. One of the clamps holding a coolant line broke on track and the engine overheated. From what I can tell there’s no other damage. No metal in the oil when I drained it but def needs a head gasket. Could be fixed or replaced with a built head. I’m selling the whole car because I don’t have time to part out. Someone with more time and a garage could prob net 3-5k on parting out. Price is firm. If you want to negotiate, I can remove a few parts but I really don’t have the time. I can deliver within a reasonable distance or meet. All parts have only seen a couple of track days and 100 miles at most on the street. Many I just installed before this last event when the head gasket went.
I totaled up what I paid for everything (performance parts) new, subtracted 60% and that’s the price, not including what I paid for the car. I’ve replaced a lot on this car and had a lot of fun doing it but I need something a little bigger. I’ve got an excel sheet with all of the parts including OEM replacements, where they came from and the receipts. Most parts were purchased through Way Motorworks (WMW) or direct from vendor. Nothing is second hand or previously used that I can think of. If it is it’s noted.
