Found a MINI Cooper in a recycling yard

Looking for used MINI parts?
Found one in Auburndale, FL browsing through the net, so all members close to that area make sure to take a look at it. Maybe something good to grab there. Moderators please feel free to move the thread to the appropriate category, (I don't know if it would fit in here).

Here's the link:
www.allprousedautoparts.com

Here's the specific link to their e-bay store where thay have the MINI:

Just my 2 cents if you're in the same venture as myself of stacking some extra parts for later

Wow, the car looks like it was still in pretty good shape ... I wonder what was wrong with it?

I asked myself the very same question, but every time I see one, the very first thing I look at is the shifter to check whether this was a CVT with a blown transmission or not, then everything is self-explanatory after that....hard to tell on this one though....

My first thought was the CVT also, but they have it listed.

It could be a repo with bad engine noise sold at an auction in the inop sale.
