Hi
I am thinking of importing a 1999-2000 mini cooper (rover cooper?) from either Japan or UK. These cars are the last of the classic shaped minis before the new shaped/model ones.
What are the things I need to know about this car i.e faults , problems , CO2 emissions etc. Also there is one listed on trade me going for $18k NZD, is this the market value for these classic mini?

Any advice or information will be helpful.

Thank you
Kash

Hi there,
You will need to supply specific vehicle details, and require a special interest vehicle permit.
The market value according to our books is around $14,000 for a 2000 Rover Mini. $18 does seem steep, but I would look at a few sources to determine value.
Contact us on aatech@aa.co.nz with details, TDN numbers of the vehicle you are specifically looking at for further advise.
