Tips on buying a classic Mini?

**moipogi** · October 17th, 2011 11:43 AM

Hi guys. Interested in getting a classic mini, but it seems there are horror stories on maintenance and LTO registration. There are some guys who can custom build one, pero can anybody point to a reputable dealer/assembler who can sell/assemble one that's ok and has legal papers?

Looking for an AT 1300cc sana . .

Salamat ser. But much better if could get specific links to dealers/assemblers or get some guidance from a tsikot member who is also a current mini owner.

There are only a few Classic Mini owners and builders on tsikot, and they don't post here, anymore. The last one was "RMRSASTEEL" (a Mini engine swapper) and I haven't seen him log in for a year, already.

You want information, look for it at Pinoymini. You don't even have to register to read the buy-and-sell threads and discussions about spare parts and shops.

Haha nag post pala ako dito years back. Maybe just for closure, eventually bought and refurbished that 1275 automatic mini I was looking for in 2011 . . . :-)

Depends on the condition. Bought mine for PHP400k more or less, then plus plus on the needed fixes. Join ka PinoyMini in FB they have some for sale units plus you can find the guys who can restore in the group as well.
