Che Is Sadly Departed - Page 9 - MINI Cooper Forum

I was watching it... I was shocked. The seller certainly made light of the damage and like you said John, they couldn't get that much by parting it out, so I suppose we have to assume someone bought it to put it back on the road... It wasn't Bert was it..?!

the secret is that it was a light roll and bmw sheetmetal crumples like tinfoil, AND the guy selling IS extremely well rated and he's not ALL wrong about the EZ of it AND MINI parts is very cheap.

my best hopes to the new owner. restore!!! race!!! have fun with che!!!

and yes Gav, it would be great to see Bert in an MC40.

Gee, and who says Minis don't hold their resale value?

GMINI · #**124** (**permalink**) Jul 26th, 2006, 02:31 PM

j9 just pointed out to me that between the amount the loss was paid to me and the amount this fellow made out on him, che may have just made a 100% resale value.

One of these days...one of these days...

That was a fairly shocking sale figure - I hope the person buying it knows what they're doing! (and it wasn't me)

Bert, if you are serious about wanting a MINI, I have a friend selling a 2003 JCW for a very good price.

Yes, I seriously want one, but even more seriously can't afford it at this time!
In the meantime I just live vicariously through all of you - your good times, trials and tribulations will have to do for now.

Well, we're buying our fourth MINI right now, it's a sickness I say!

Enjoy your GPs my friends. The 07 MCS is matching it's 175hp with torque, and shedding 180lbs.!!!!!!!

John, you are a little behind the times on news...

GMINI · #**132** (**permalink**) Jul 27th, 2006, 02:16 PM

are you telling me motoringfile is playing games with my mind? For shame Gabe, if so. For shame.

(Of course, if not - Thanks for keeping me on top.)

I'll eat it on the pound misinfo. gabes's scoop.

gmini maybe you want to request the buyer's email address, then wait a few months and get in touch with him. I'm sure he would want to know its history (both good and bad), though it would not be fair to the seller to do it immediately.

GMINI · #**134** (**permalink**) Jul 27th, 2006, 02:42 PM

good idea josh. I will request that info from the seller.
