price of minis

["James Fuerstenberg" <jfuerstenberg@zz-link.dcmdc.dla.mil>]

     $4500 for the mini Bruce describes seems a little high. For that price 
     you should get good mechanicals and interior.
     
     It would also be desirable to look at the suspension corners 
     carefully.  Inspect as best you can if they look like they have had 
     regular grease...or you will be replacing suspension bits quite soon.
     
     A compression test is easy to perform and quite useful.

"assembly is the reverse of disassembly" is "Like buying house plans that say,
 Building your new home is the reverse of blowing it up with dynamite."
