Chili Red 2007 R56S Mileage: 68,000 miles I am thinking about doing a full part out. Car accident that tore off the front bumper and dented the hood. Insurance totaled it. It's now has a salvage title. This post is just to see if there is any interest In buying parts off the car. Most everything is fine except front bumper area and hood and one headlight cracked. If I see decent interest I could declare it a parts car and start parting it out. Manual trans. Let me know. If I start getting multiple requests then I will provide a parts list with prices.
I could start pulling off parts in about 2 weeks if needed.

Drivers rear quarter panel and Bumper are spoken for as of now.

Again, I just want to give it a week or 2 and
see if there is decent interest. Might decide to
Sell as is.

We will see how it goes.

That sucks, dude! Sorry for you and your MINI. If it were mine, I might consider fixing it myself, provided there was no major mechanical damage or damage to the unibody. Parting out is a pain, IMHO. Once all of the easy parts are gone, you will be left with a useless shell to deal with. I once parted out an Alfa Romeo, many years ago. We ended up spending a couple days cutting what was left of that thing into pieces small enough to fit into a dumpster.

Thanks for the comments.
The car is sitting on my parents property.
In no rush to move it. I'll just take parts
Off as needed. Have 2 other MINIs.

only do the part-out if you have the spare time (in your life) to ship out the parts and have a plan of what to do with the thing when you're finished.
