I dont know the servicing or accident history as of yet


All three of the cars are 6 speed stick and have similar options

your two cents?

 

So far I like #3. I would skip #1 because of the accidents, even if it's cheaper now.

 

Ive looked online and it seems I can get a service kit (all filters, plugs and a belt ) for around $200, throw in $50 for oil and the price of a socket for the plugs and may be a six pack I'm looking at under $350 for a 96000km service.

 

 

 

I cant find any info on the window fix, any links or tricks or??

 

I think they are all overpriced. Spend a couple grand more for 2011 and newer with lower miles.

 

N14 engine, would not buy any of them, certainly not number 1. Agree with 2011 as above.

 

Looks like they're all base model Coopers correct? I'm liking #2. For the window, try the procedure in the thread at post #3 first HERE. More info HERE.

 

Went with the white one

 

It has a Cat back and a K&N cold air intake, also stereo upgrade

 

Congratulations! Did you find out about the service history of it? I do like the roof basket. It's nice it came with so many different sets of wheels. You planning to keep the MINI one's and sell the aftermarket for ones you like more?

 

Still havent decided, we have 15inch steelies with snows( keep), 16 inch stock Mini wheels with new rubber and 17 inch After market 5 spoke black with silver and new rubber.

I think the 17's will go on

 

It appears that all three cars are base models, which means they do not have the N14 engine...this is a good thing.

I like #2...smoke red.

It has been a few years...but I believe the dealer can reflash the car to fix the window prob...however, I'm not 100 percent sure about this.

 

I only looked a non S cars, i wouldnt touch an S with a 10 foot pole and a thick wallet.

Got the pepper white one although I've re named the colour Guinness foam

 

I dig the name! Definitely looks like it too. Enjoy.
