: Buying a bargain

So I'm about to join the ranks of the MINI owners.

Buying a One from a colleague who hit a patch of dry ice and did in the bumper and bonnet. She can't afford the repairs (she went to a garage for quotes) so she's selling it to me for 1200!

That's 1200 for a 2002 mini one 77k on the clock.
Mechanically sound (drove it) and the chassis is fine, checked the tracking and all that. The impact from her crash has only altered the aesthetics of the front.

Absolute bargain, I'll be replacing the bumper, bonnet, front radiator panel and a single headlight. Do the labour myself. I make that 650 tops for the parts.

So, a MINI One with FSH and a good millage for the age, under 2k!

Very excited to get my hands on it! What a bargain!
