$12K isn't a bad price these days. 

Canadian version, really need to check for rust......

Cheap sunroof hack job kills it. No clue why so many minis have them.

They all rust :)

I'm about 90 minutes away if anyone needs some short term storage. 

Prices are through the roof on these

Definitely. This would have been a $5K car 10 years ago.  I'm sure there are still deals out there, but they are harder to come by.

Must... Resist...

Man...I don't really know the market on these cars. But I look at this one and it says, "I'm overpriced at 8k."

Maybe I'm just a cheapskate (no...I am a cheapskate, but still). 

In reply to DocRob :

Unfortunately, that car is probably pretty close to market value 

In reply to DocRob :

I casually watch the market. I paid $9000 for mine 10 years ago, but it had a lot of upgrades that would be costly to duplicate on a cheaper car.  The engine was barely under race-spec (it ran on pump gas, but did NOT like being a street car). It I were to buy that car today, it would be well north of $20K. 

I've been trying to convince a friend to increase the agreed-value of his mutt Mini as he doesn't believe me when I tell him his car would cost more than $20K or maybe even $30K to replace if something happened to it.  

I don't think I've seen a running Mini for sale in the US for under $10K in quite awhile. I still see some for sale in the UK for moderate prices, but they're usually rusty and you have to deal with shipping and import costs.
