So I am having issues and thoughts here....I bought BOO back in November I rode her from Denver CO, to Kansas and had a few things to do to her, and went to my local mechanic and noticed a few things that needed to be done.

I then took her to Mini of Omaha, (closest MINI dealer here) and had the Inspection II done, plus tie-rods, control arms and most of the front end done, radiator hoses all done, at a cost of $1716.01

And am getting ready to buy (4) New GY Eagle GT's on each corners as the others were cupped, figure I should get new tires now that the new parts and front end is done. (around $450-$550)

Also January 1 2013, I am giving my local treasurers office another $900 for tags and taxes.

I just JUMPED into a second MINI S in less than 2 years and am SORT-OF-regretting it now. I bought her because of the RARE color, and was REALLY wanting a Pepper White S, but couldn't find any around here.

SO question here, should I SELL her CHEAP ($13,000) ???? (IS that CONSIDERED CHEAP) and get rid of her, or put more $$$$ into her, when she isn't REALLY what I wanted to begin with?

Any ideas or offers wanted.........SOON.....

Thanks snowman

 

sell it. then buy what you really want.

My car needs new brakes and tires in the spring, and I really want more power and maybe RWD... thinking about selling too. It's a tough call though. I'm still emotionally attached

Thinking about getting a tune and seeing if a hair more power and driveability will be enough for me.

 

$900 for taxes and tags?!?!?!?!????

I just renewed mine WITH vanity tags for $400. I guess Georgia is good for something!

 

Registration here in nj is $46.50....

Save yourself some dough, and start doing some of the work yourself. Best bang for your buck, enroll in a night course at your local vocational school for automotive technician. It was $400+ $125 for the class and books around here in south jersey. Learn how to work on your car, and use their facility and tools. Try renting a garage with a lift for a month or two. You'll be paying that 400 just for one month, and you'll have to buy your own tools lol.

 

Have decided to sell BOO...Now to see what she is worth?

 

This is my problem; I parked mine for a few months because it needs a new tranny (2005 S) and they are not cheap - more than the car's worth: if I were to sell it.
