    I foresee a future filled with strange smells and electrical issues that will never go away.

    Don't even consider it.

    Expensive parts, once u fix one thing something else will go wrong with it next week.

    It will most likely be bought by an out of state backyard car seller, tarted up and sold to some sucker.

    Look for something hail damaged

    Ive smelt some water damaged cars, water just inside on the carpet and they smell bad/musky. :D:D

    All depends, of course. But some cars go REALLY cheap. :D:D

    I'm not that fussed either, even though I think they are good cars technologically, but overpriced.

    I used to own a 1969 model Mini Cooper 'S'. Now that was a great car. Bought it for $2k. Sold it for $12k. Wish I still had it now. What's $10k among friends.

    It would be childish to mock his height, BUT, I wonder if Bini-Me is a Member . . .
