passing rego is one thing, but if u crash your car with a 1275 motor and no discs the insurance company will say - THANK YOU COME AGAIN.

"P" plates - that has to take 40% off the price :lol:

If there isn't much rust and the engine is in good nic, I'd say $3000+, but I haven't bought a mini in over 8 years so really don't know.

its a good thing i live in perth then. Ironically it is raining today... its a tough call, i whinge that it costs more on fuel than a bike, which it does, but its only because i like to drive fast in my mini. i whinge about parking, but i could just get up early and get a park at uni. maybe i should stop whinging and continue the radical journey in my mini.

I would keep the mini.

I haven't made the best choice in bikes in the past, but both used more fuel than our cars - one was a 350 2-stroke and the other was a 4cyl 16v 250cc - both had to be pushed hard.

Unless you get something bigger GS500 etc or smaller - postie - I don't think you'll save much on fuel.

Plus the cost of bike parts - minis are quite good all in all!

dont know about that, but i heard it can be done in the front seat 8)
parking is well stern at uni, if you dont get there before 9:00am you dont get a spot and have to drive like a km down the road! and they will fine you everytime. right now im leaning towards the mini.

defeats the purpose of having to pay for rego, would just cost more money. i just need to stop spending so much money on kebabs and booze every day. mini it is...for now
