A family I know here in Houston has a Mini Cooper S, white with the black top and sunroof and stick shift. It has a salvage title because it was stolem and wrecked totalled and put all back together to look like new. I drove it for about 2k miles around Houston, with no problems and it drives awesome. Because of the salvage title they were trying to get $12k for it I think. If I am remembering it had 30k miles on it. Thought I would throw it out there. I can't remember the year or exact miles or anything, and don't know if they still have it, but I will check next time I see them. I also saw a 2007 with low miles advertised here in Houston for $18k. i will try and find that article for you, they probably already sold it though, it was a steal!
