2006 mini cooper S 157k miles Findlay Ohio $1,500 

It was in a wreck but still has a clear title. 
 

I bought it from the salvage auction, it had a broken steering rack. I replaced the whole front subframe including a new steering rack. 
 

After I got done I realized the passenger side shock has a bend in it. I recently bought a different mini cooper that is already set up how I want it so I am selling this one. 
 

It has an oil leak. I am not sure how bad. I haven't driven it anywhere as I just got the subframe replaced, and noticed the camber on the front wheel didn't look quite right and saw the bent shock. 
 

it has some scratches here and there and a dent on the rear hatch, the door is the worst of the scratches, I have a replacement black door that is in better shape. 
 

I will try to get some better pictures when it is not snowing out.

Just to share some ideas...
For the key-scratch on the sides, I would add $23 worth of radomized graphics to the sides and visually, the scratch would go away.  This of course is hoping that the scratch is not "all the way through" where the car would rust on the line.  My guess is it is not that deep.

I hate it when my car can't carry its graphics.

Manual trans?  Maybe that is a given for an S.

Trade for a couple Opel Kadett wagon projects?

I certainly don't need another car but I still really want a r53 that runs.

Hard to see in the pictures or video....is it a sunroof or slick top? Any rust showing around the lower tail light buckets?

This reminds me that I need to come down sometime and get the intercooler because I am pretty sure that there is no real way to run a water/air intercooler sad

It is a sunroof car. I will have to look closer under the taillights tomorrow.
