Mini Cooper?
If so, I highly recommend BR Racing in Los Gatos but that's a ways away from you. They're top notch, though. Plenty of Mini experience both street and racing. And they field one of the most successful Porsche racing teams around. BMW as well. Etc.....

If you can't find anyone to help, I have a truck that can tow. No dolly but U-Haul has those. Bridge toll and gas aren't cheap--but cheaper than a tow truck.
How about sign up for AAA which gives you a 200 mile tow? Probably cheaper than gas and rental.

The $91 membership (plus) will cover 100 miles, but the premier membership will cover your motorcycle if you plan to keep the membership.

2010 Cooper S, auto not a CVT.
Neutral exists and should not be an issue on a U-Haul dolly for the front wheels.
I may have a vehicle to borrow too.
More to come.
Thanks to everyone for your help!

I think what he means is that the automatic transmissions on the Mini go kaput just as often as the motors do so to take that into consideration when putting money in the car.

I think they stopped using the CVT after 2006 though.

There should be plenty of good used engines out there.
Or just buy this:

I think I recall the water pump problem with the 2nd get cars. Took them a few years to correct the situation.
Fortunately, by the time 2005/2006 rolled around, the 1st gen was pretty well sorted out. I've had very few problems with my '06 JCW. And I like the supercharged 1st gen better anyway.

That's $1k in your pocket today rather than a -3k.
With the history of these cars, seems like it might be a good deal.
Looks like it's really worth only about 5k on the open market...not the 8k mentioned earlier. So I'd definitely take the 1k over the "potential" of 2k in a year notwithstanding some other problem likely to rear its ugly head.
2011 in excellent condition asking $5,500

Subi? As in subaru?
If so buy one down there...they are all beat Up Here and leaking head gaskets.
And tranny problems ...
I have been looking for months and cant find one nice..
Also...DMV has a flat rate of $236 for out of state reg and it's for 2 years.
No smog....my truck was 400 cheaper than California!...
