$4200 195k. Has borla exaust and ARB driving lights. I'd get rid of my 2000 Saab 9-5 for this.

the rally lights are awesome. The altezza style tail lights...not too much

I'm oddly tempted to say crack pipe on this one. Gen 1 Minis can be money pits, and an 04 is halfway between money pit and okay car.

Those would be the first to go. Along with the bad tint. And the cracked windshield and the carbon fiber wing. But it would double my highway mpg on my Saab. Saab also has 195k so I'm no stranger to high millage europeans.

I haven't heard a lot of good about used mini's in general, much less one with that many miles on it. That being said, I do like the way it looks, still seems to be breathing deeply of the CP.

Would you recommend a 2000 Saab 9-5 with the same millage? That's what I drive now.

CP unless electrical work is your thing.

Npish. I love my 03 mini. I also hate it. A supercharger would make me love it more. And probably hate it more. As you can see, it's complicated.

Yes, because you don't have to disassemble the car to service it.

Let the record show that the Saab does in fact have ample space to be worked on.

Indeed. I took a peek under the hood of one of those in a junkyard and it's serviceable. A Mini, not so much.

Might want to price out the windshield, my parents had to replace one and it was like $900
