Lt. Dan Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Hey gang, have a buddy that Unstable and I have converted to a potential MINI owner :rock: Only thing is, we have to find him one!!! Looking for a Manual transmission R53, lower mileage... Doesn't want green if he can help it, but that wouldn't be a deal breaker... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edge Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Hey gang, have a buddy that Unstable and I have converted to a potential MINI owner :rock: Only thing is, we have to find him one!!! Looking for a Manual transmission R53, lower mileage... Doesn't want green if he can help it, but that wouldn't be a deal breaker... Awesome, nicely done! :top: I highly recommend steering him to a 2005 or 2006 model (especially 01/05 or newer build), because the post-refresh models have shown to have fewer problems over the long term. Also, he's more likely to find a lower mileage R53 with the later model years anyway.

Whales Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 I believe that this R53 is on Atlanta. Apart from the pirate stuff, looks pretty good... http://www.motoringalliance.com/forums/minis-sale/22189-2006-mcs-highly-modified-33-589-miles.html#axzz3Pbr9J3YD [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] La Mosa 2006 JCW R53 You say you want a Revolution...

Scavenger Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Stop looking, he bought an 07.... Just saw this thread , and wow, that was quick.
