Mini R53: "Mk I" Mini Cooper S 2002 - 2006
Description:

Sent out my old head which had 54k on it to jan for him to rebuild it. Got it sent back and ever since I got it I have not had time to install it. I am becoming lazy and I decided I can sell it and use the money for something else. I took apart the mini with a friend that has been working on Minis for decades now and we did not run into a single problem when removing the head. My mini is garaged and its sitting on stands as we speak. Asking 3,000 obo since it is brand new and you guys do not have to wait for the head as long as I had. 3 months+. Will ship when I receive payment. The first picture is mine but I only have that picture. Others is ones I got from the internet.

I am interested if you're willing to drop the price a bit, and Montgomery is only 4 hours away from me,
so I'd drive out to pick it up and hand over cash for the transaction.

Do you have an actual picture?

You say that "first picture is mine but I only have that picture" --- there are only 2 pictures, one is clearly from Detroit Tuned,
but the other which I incorrectly assumed at first to be "your" picture is something from 7 years ago...

Let me know what the deal is please.

Thanks.

That is a good catch oldboy Speedwell! We shall see what the op reasoning is .

not saying this is a scam , but I'm glad that some of the members are keeping their eyes out for signs like this so others don't fall into a trap.

For sure scammer and fwiw that's the older style head based on keepers so I believe this head in that old pic is what was then the Jesus head which I think had more updates once it became the the Official RMW essentially stage 1 head. God I hate to use that stage term lol. But there is a I guess Stage 2 (Cringe) so ... lol

So to recap likely yes scam
old pic BUSTED Head in old pic (Jesus head based on the retainers and springs)

I caught and reported a couple of these guys lately who just happened to have the multi thousand dollar semi rare part I was after "In their garage" "Under a shelf someplace" lol You know where one often keeps their valuable semi rare car parts and then forgets about them lol.


*Edit* ER DERP PIC SAYS JESUS lol. The springs where for sure upgraded and pretty sure atleast mine has a helper spring setup but could be wrong. Supertech retainers too

Probably the same repeat scumbag... do your due diligence guys.. check join dates , posts ect.. ask fir contact number ect. DONT EVER SEND MONEY UNLESS YOU 100% SURE !!!
This same scumbag contacts EVERY wtb post and takes pics ,from this forum of items your looking to buy..lol I had him try Me 3x, 3x different posts with 3x different numbers..
he's VERY pushy and is a jerk , youd think a scammer would atleast show some patience and fake kindness but hes such a loser he cant even fake it...
why has nam NOT put a minimum post limit or time limit upon joining inorder to post in classifieds and be able to pm ? Other forums I've been a member of over the years even long ago have implemented measures to keep out most scsmmers.. if it's that easy , they're gonna try... 1/100 attempts to them is a win.
just be smart guys !
