How can 5 pages of things go wrong within 12 months?

[sally the mini]

exactly it was a dogey mot guy who passed it and covered up the bad bits for a mate

[widerim_pickup]

How much are you looking for?

[sally the mini]

well i want as much as possible but my dad says around the 700. all the interior is very good the engine has had a new clutch its just the body work that needs attention it will have to be towed away

[GreaseMonkey]

well i am currently thinking of getting a new car and scrapping mine for 2000

Dont you need a current Mot on the car for that?

[sally the mini]

yh found that out today gutted hence why i am selling it.

the new toyota IQ is amazing

[rimmer1993]

i'm sorry people but it might have to happen looking at a toyota iq 100mm smaller than a mini

You cant fit a person in the back though Dont scrap her for them failiures not to bad to be honest you need a full mot anyway to scrap

[sally the mini]

i no the whole scrapage scheme which is why i am selling it wink wink

[samg2007]

Any pics of car and MOT sheet?

Thanks

[Ouster]

£700 for a mini with no MOT? You're joking...

That Toyota will lose as much as it costs to fix your Mini in the first year. It is just possible that those faults have developed from advises to fails in a year & I wouldn't consider someone that allowed me to drive around in a dangerous car a friend. Every car I've owned has been a better option after I've owned it for a year, found out its true condition and tackled some of its faults.

it wasnt my mate it was a the person i bought it off her mate any way what price would you put on it

Just a thought but though your IQ will be new n Shiny i too have a newish Daily Driver but i have to say though its Very polished in the Way it Drives it would send you to sleep with Boredom

Thing is when you buy a new car you may get insurance included for 12 months but after that itll cost far more than a Mini to insure and then theres the monthly payments and the deposit

The Deposit will probably Cost you what it would of cost to get Sally Fixed
And every month you have to keep paying for it and by the time you finish paying for it itll probably be worth less than Sally
If the Garage is Quoeting a Silly Amount More than the car is worth to get it Welded dont take their word for it!

As others have said Post the piccys on here maybe even somebody on here will help with the welding cheap?
Mini Panels are not that expensive,welding can be though theres a going rate and some welders try to con people by wanting several times the going rate so shop around

So post Some Piccys of the places that need welding and the MOT Failure Sheets etc and see if somebody may be able to help

Also are you a member of a local club? If not join one they will allways help members out and theres bound to be somebody who can weld in the Club

Well said,

You're in the position to find out why Minis are the best cars to own, so you needn't be thinking of getting shot for a shiny little box riddled with debt.
