[QUOTE="`Blitz, post: 1086020, member: 14788"] Well, minis are more like a hobby for enthusiast.... although some parts are expensive but mini is not like the ordinary cars we see everyday... We seldom see minis being driven on the road... its a rare sight... as oppose to seeing protons, hondas, nissans.... in fact all classic cars are a rare sight... Lets say if you buy a second hand Kancil worth RM18K (bank loan) and a Mini worth RM6K cash.... You will need to service the bank loan for Kancil and if you have spare money, then only you add extras to your kancil.... while for the mini, spend another 12K on the Mini and after 5 yrs, what is the value of your Kancil compared to the Mini?? I'm sure if given some time to a mini lover... the car will be a head turner worth even more than the Kancil.... No doubt to repair it involves money... but to make any car look good, you still have to fork out $$$.... I think the first mistake that many people make is when they buy rotten minis which is dirt cheap... thinking that with just minor restoration can get it back to its former health... and halfway through restoration process, they got turned off due to escalating repair bills....and they complaint that minis cost a BOMB.... Thats why i keep telling others to buy a [B][U]running condition [/U][/B]minis with all the proper documentations. This is bcoz you will have to spend more if rotten minis than a running condition minis... Dont have to be mint condition... Just a running cond with all switches, gauges, locks, lights, signal...etc, in working order will be fine... Trust me that you will save even more in the long run if you buy a decent running cond mini... been there and done that....:shades_smile: [/QUOTE]
