    Wow, rough ride... I do hope you go to a doctor and get a check out. :)

    Glad you are OK, get another R56, enjoy....

    If the 05 is clean and low mileage, perhaps. ;)

    I talked to the insurance company the other day to let em know, when I get back to the states I'll start the claim up. Kinda a Debbie downer on my trip knowing I have to go from 83 degrees here in Brazil to 20 degrees, then on top of that have to figure out what's up with the car. Ugh.

    Might end up with a win win. Not an '05 like I thought but its an '03 like my old r50 same color and all :) wanted to save on a car note and this is less then my r56 so I might have a blessing here.

    What ta y'all think, what's the ups and downs of an r53? He is a car guy and I have known him for a long time so I know he takes care of his stuff. http://columbiamo.craigslist.org/cto/4326372275.html

    Yea I'll talk him down. He is willing to work with me cause he knows me but I'm not too worried on the price. But the car itself is pretty solid for being an '03 and only 70k miles. Shoot I had 53k on my '09.

    Well it's a R53 so what's not to love? There is a lot to be said about knowing a cars history and it has some nice mods. All that is real good. I realy like it. I think it would be a sweet ride. But the price is steep.
    Maybe since he's a friend you can get a far price if so, GO FOR IT!
    Good luck.

    That's a good looking car, but -- "driven only on weekends" ???

    Didn't Richard Petty have some cars like that?

    $13.5K is kinda high don'cha think?

    For the SC rebuild I'm sure it was something like this https://jonbondperformance.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=26_15_119&products_id=613

    I agree 13k is high and wouldn't give him that. I was looking at 10k for what I'd do like Dave.O said.

    I think at that price you will be getting a good Mini.
    Good luck hope you can work it out!

    If he keeps pushing it is time to slow down & really check things out. Take your time & be very thorough. Time is on your side.

    Wait just a little...R53 prices should come down, especially when the F56 GEN3 hits the streets...people will try to unload their GEN1 cars especially non-Motoring Alliance Members.
