Looking For Another Mini... 2010 Misfiring Questions

I started the Search for another Mini. First one I found was a 2008 Base w/AUTO 150k and wouldn't Crank. I choose to NOT BUY this one.

#2. Is a 2010 Base MANUAL, 90k that Misses (skips) at Low Speed. The seller says above 1,500 RPM it Does Not Skip. HE Has Changed the Coils and Sparkplugs without any change. So... The problem Should Be in the Electrical system or Fuel System? (He's asking $2,800.00, it's 3 hours away from me.)

Where can I Locate the Best Wiring Diagrams?

I've seen no less than a 1/2 Dozen Mini's that have Misfiring Problems.

Hey there,

What's your budget? I find Cooper S Gen 2s all of the time for $4K and they run fine. If you're name 427COBRA says anything about you, you won't be happy with a base cooper!

I looked for about 2 months before I found mine for the right price and low miles.

Good luck.

Rick

I don't have a Budget but I was looking for something cheap since this will be a totally unnecessary car. I'm looking for a "Toad" and do not really want an "S". I had a new R53 with a Supercharger and I thought it was a dog. It quickly ran out of HP compared to 6 pounds to 1 HP since then I've owned a couple R56 Base.
