UPDATE on 2nd page!


ALRIGHT!

My name is Jordan from San Antonio, TX and I currently drive a 2001 Volvo s80 T6 268hp sedan. I am currently looking to bail out of my s80 and jump into a MCS.

I am a firefighter/EMT here in Texas that specializes in rescue. My s80 is equipped with lights and sirens. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdgrmgpBJJY) <---Video here. I need to be able to do the same with the MCS. Is this possible?

I guess the biggest concern I have is the price. I want to get into any MCS MT (preferably not Red) with less than 50k on the clock for 15k? Am I crazy or is this a task that can be accomplished?

I look forward to your responses and insight! I hope this can be done!

Can't wait to see a MCS with light and sirens

 

I dont think your goal is totally realistic, just shop around alittle. You'll be able to find a MINI that will suit your needs, and your wallet in due time.

 

Can you elaborate a little more?

This one is close...... Work a deal....check autotrader...your local papers...and of course....EBAY!!!!!!! Check your seller and beware of "second chance purchases" in your email and not in your my ebay account.

Hmm, now if I can just figure out the PM function and where its located :D

 

Put your cursor over the name at the top of the post, one of the options is PM. I had a little trouble w/ that , too.

 

Thank you, I have figured it out now. I am just so used to www.swedespeed.com

I love the idea of a MINI helping to save lives!

 

As for the price...I think your price is a little low. The majority that I've seen usually go for ~$17-20k for a used MCS, depending on location, miles, packages, etc. Just to give you an example, I bought my fully loaded (minus NAV and HK) with 47k miles on it for $17k, which was a steal in my eyes.

Honestly, I don't think your going to be able to find an MCS that cheap....but look around!

It's also nice to see someone in FF/EMT. I'm in school for Police/EMT.

Any thoughts

 

this doesnt sound like an MCS, only an MC. also what is the year on this car? i just started thinking about maybe getting some strobes or sirens in my car

 

2002 Mini Cooper S

 

I have an 05 with around 28k miles....mods...cloth seats.....could be for sale, but I am undecided...

 

wow. i bought my cooper s in feb with 35k miles, also an 02, for 20K. i think your getting a decent deal. in the description why would they just say 1.6L I4 OHC and not super charged though?

 

Here is one with 45K with options for $15900 or make offer.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mini-...38822562QQrdZ1

Here is another with 44K at $14900

Sounds like there are Mini's everywhere for around $15K with 40-50K miles. :-)

Or another with 73K here for $14K Here

 

I doubt you would be selling within my price range

 

Its a Toyota Dealership in FL. Maybe they dont know what they have :D

And as to the person who posted the ebay link for the MCS. I saw that earlier, but am Keeping my eyes open. I enjoy the color much.

Thanks again guys! What a great forum!

 

Well.....one thing to make sure of, if they say leather, they are probably wrong. Most MINI's come with leatherette, which is LIKE leather, but it's NOT leather. The way you can tell the difference between leatherette and leather are the lumbar control ***** on the side of the seat (in the middle, by where an armrest would go. Leather has the *****, leatherette does not!). The leather was, I believe a $1,250 option in 02'+, then it changed to like $1,300 sometime after that.

I think bumped up to $17K would get you a good car. I can't wait to see a MINI all outfitted in lights and sirens. PLEASE post a pic for all to see when you get it????

 

I hope you get a MINI thats fits what ya need. Make sure you post pics of your MINI with the lights. My MINI will eventually have lights and sirens also. Just a matter of time.

 

yo FF here from RI, red mcs and i am plinged out dash light and strobes. no siren tho. Go for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

In my area there are specialty shops that do emergency light installs for police cars (private cars are used for police duty)- they might be able to help or give an estimate.

For ideas-



But don't forget the flames on the bonnet!

 

Any pics of your dash light and strobes??
