Fixer-upper Classic on Craigslist!

Only $2500 so you'd need to fix it up, but it would leave you a lot for refurbishment.

I love the line... Ran great when parked. Yep they all did. For my money it's priced $2000 too high.

Buy the best car you can afford. This one seems to be hardly a deal, A panel appears to be missing & the doors are falling off. Someone check it out & report back, but be careful that door doesn't fall on your foot.

That is one of the worst Mini's I have seen for sale for more than a grand. I am with Chuck on this unless the other side is made of gold $2,500 is way too much. Maybe he just screwed up the decimal

Well yeah....

all that stuff you said is true.

But look at the front tire! It's only flat on the bottom! The rest of that tire is probably ok!!

And see...the spare is right there on the hood. Sure, it's as big as the hood, but hey, there's potential here folks!

AND it's got stripes. Well.....I can see only one anyways.

Sad, but that Mini is most likely to be towed away for sitting unused on the street. Maybe someone can pick it up at the police auction for $5.00.

Poor Mini. Almost want to take up a collection just to get it a nice new owner.

That pic is from 2004. Can you imagine what it looks like now?

Well it does look very sad. I think if the person is really trying to get $2500 out of it then they aren't trying to get rid of it. I sent him a message and offered more than it's worth, $25. We'll see if he replies. I wouldn't mind getting it and rebuilding it. I love rebuilding cars and motors and haven't done one in a while.
We'll see, I think a fundraiser isn't a bad idea to give this mini a better life.

$25 is a generous offer.
This could be a money pit.
However, it could be a fun project car...
if you paid $25 for it.
