Hello,
I just bought a manual 2002 Mini for $4,000. It has about 107,000 miles on it. I've always liked these cars and thought this would be a way to get a feel for them without investing too much. So far I'm loving it.
I do notice a leak of some sort. I'm not sure of what kind of fluid just yet. I'm not too surprised since it is an older Mini. The person who sold me the car gave me paperwork showing that it passed smog. So, I took a gamble. We'll see how it goes. If it all works out, I will upgrade, possibly get a MCS 2015-2016, we'll see. Good thing is that I work less than ten minutes away. I just found a mechanic that fixes Mini's so we'll see how it all goes. Finger's crossed this fluid leak isn't something really bad. I'm ok with replacing the clutch.
Looking forward to sharing more.
Ken
