Maybe. I would have to do some research before I would actually bite the bullet and make that decision. But it is a possibility. And besides, it would be a blast doing the rebuild. Imagine how much you could learn about the car!

 

You can take the 13k, buy a better car than a Mini and still have money left to put away or do whatever with

 

blasphemy!

 

PIcs of damage? I recently bought a cooper S to do my 6spd swap it was hit in the front but has a good rear clip on it. I might be interest in buying it from you as is, depending on the damaged areas.

 

Dont mess with it. Let it go and get another one.

 

sell all the parts. engine and 6 speed are worth the 3k.

 

Sold it here for $6,000. Didn't have the time and space for parting it out.

Bought an 06 with 10,500 miles - happy with my decision.

Thanks.

 

You did great! I would've advised to get a GP!
