Value of a mini with blown motor?
 

Hi all, first time post here. I am planning on converting a mini to electric this coming year. Would like to find one with a blown motor. Any ideas on where to find one in this condition, and how much do you think it will lower the value?

I know I can find a 02-03 with 100K miles in the 8-10K range, I can deal with that price, but would like to possibly buy a newer one with bad motor. If I do buy one in running shape, what is a motor worth? Gotta keep the transmission.

Thanks

Most with blown motors seem to go for around $1K less then book value ...
Motors it depends on mileage and regular or "S" models ... $400/$1000

Well I just got the news that the mini Cooper I just bought 3 months ago engine is blown. The interior and exterior is in excellent condition and I even have an engine that I found that will fit in it perfectly for only $575 I believe here in kalamazoo, Mi right where car is located. If you'd like some pics your welcome to message me at 269-352-9062 and I won't charge any crazy amount I just need to figure out how I'm now going to buy a car that runs being I'm out $4500.00 and I guess owe the mechanic $600 for putting on a part that it didn't even need so need that bill payed off at the least. Oh and my name is Cara
