Mini Cooper question

[Russell]

Do you still have the Jimmy? http://eastnc.craigslist.org/cto/5291750383.html

Technically, I still own it till tomorrow. I could by it back probably but it would probably be for $500. Between the two , up here that gets me close to one thats looking good and running . And we really need this carb/truck by tue night. I just don't work that fast. On my bucket list is a swap of a V8 into a 4dr 4x4 blazer / jimmy / bravada and a v8 mini. But for the family hauler , I just want to drive it. Thanks for looking though.

Them Jimmys are a dime a dozen. I get people who want me to buy them all the time. The problem is they arent worth much by the time you fix one up. If I buy one for 500.00 and rebuild a tranny for another 500- 600, I barely will get $1500.00 out of it at the end.

Russel is right, Trailblazer (IMHO) are the way to go. the 4.2 or 5.3.

We've got it narrowed down between a 2002 4x4 LT trailblazer for $2700. And a 2005 2x4 LS for $2700 . The older 4x4 has 10,000 more miles . The decision is tough.
