Hey guys, i just picked up a $500 MCS and i love it. I cant wait to dive into this and learn all about it.

 

Congrats

Always love to see one brought back to life. Hope we can help with parts.

 

Great price...........now let's see it!

 

 

Was it on Craiglist or something? Does it run? Great deal for $500. Wow

 

Wow! Nice!

When I saw the amount on the title, I immediately thought "LeMons car!", but after seeing the pic, no way, it's too damned nice. Good buy!! Bring some life back to that car.

 

Welcome to NAM.

With over 70,000 Gen1 threads, along with the members and the vendors, there is not too much that you cannot find out about your car on this Forum.

A Mini that looks that good for $500 is a pretty good deal.

 

slicktop and aero nice, the aero kit alone is worth 500 $

 

The car runs flawlessly.

 

Other then the clutch problems I'm having...
there was an Air Force guy at work who just picked it up for $4000. It was having starting issues. I offered to help him many times. Also recommended people to fix it if it was just me he didn't trust.
Well he took it to the dealership and they told him it needed a new wiring harness. they then sold him on a new mini.
i asked him what he was going to do with it... he said he was going to sell it to a junk yard. I said no no no! I'll give you more then they will, they will only give you $450 I'll pay you $500 and he took it.
Title in hand, smog done...
here we are

 

Aero kit? I didn't think it had anything special but I don't know a lot about mini's

 

it has the JCW aero body kit, front bumper, side skirts, probably rear bumper does it have the jcw exhaust too?

 

Not sure, I don't have a picture of that just yet.
I was looking into breaks because this one squeaks so dang bad even tho the pads look new... and they are just basic calipers and rotors from what I can see and understand. Not sure it had the JcW package. Does have the Harmon Cardon system tho ❤️

 

OMG! What an incredible deal! Great looking car!

 

Welcome and that's a great steal!!!!

 

Looks great, congrats on the awesome deal!

 

First thing I noticed was the aero kit. Slick deal, man.

If you need a clutch, I have one for sale! Brand new Spec clutch and SMF!

Also - does it actually need a new harness? What's the deal with running flawlessly vs needing a new harness?

 

All I can say is WOW! You got a serious deal on your MINI! I'll give you a grand for it! LOL
Congrats to you on your exceptional deal!
You will love this thing, for it's road worthiness, when you get nto the twisties!
