MINI Project (again)

can I ask what the buy back price was? I always wondered how they figure it out

It is usually 10% of the claim check

Without getting into detail I will say that Geico screwed me throughout the entire process. The buy back was $2k which was 20% of the claim check. Ridiculous.

$2k seems high… How much in parts did you get back from that? when my Mustang was stolen years and years ago, I think I got 6K back and paid $500 for the car back.

Well I mean tons of interior bits plus a full drive train is a decent consolation.

If memory serves me, you had a filthy exhaust on the car… assuming it was thrashed in the accident?

I like this…

If you remove the stripes and wrap the roof to black I bet it would look a lot more serious.

x2, vinyl stripes i’d assume?

Either way, stoked to see this unfold.

:tup: knew you’d get another, wouldn’t seem right with anything else

$2k is definitely too high but still worth it. I got the motor/tranny/lsd, exhaust, cat, all the grey interior parts needed to replace the red, speedometer, tach, plus all of my aftermarket parts (boost gauge, motor mount, gearbox bushings, short shifter, shift boot eliminator, slotted rotors, EBC redstuff pads, cell phone holder).

The exhaust miraculously survived. It doesn’t really matter though because @BREETIME is building a new one like we were planning before the accident.

Yeah the stripes are vinyl and usually pull off pretty easy.

Can still make the red look nice.

I dig the red exterior as well. Congrats on getting back into another Mini!

Snip

Can still make the red look nice.

Red can definitely look nice, it’s just not for me at the moment. Btw I’m down for battle of the go karts but you’ll walk me haha.

Love it!!!

better put down more than my Mini did :slight_smile:

That’s what the other motor is for! How did you like your RMW tune?

RMW tune was incredible. Flattened out my torque curve, way more driveable.

Remote or tuning party? I hate the limited options here.

Yours runs and drives, looks like you’ll be the one walking here. :confused:

it was a tuning party. And unfortunately they are getting harder to come by

My go-cart thing went off.
