i need a pre engaged starter motor for the mini

what should i look for when buying a second hand one?
is it wise to buy a second hand one?
How much should i be looking to pay?

£45 for good one, new ones are exxxpensive.

I wouldn't myself my local Uniparts place does the other type for £21 = the vat.

I can get you 25% discount at Euro car parts if that helps?

I don't see any problem with buying a second hand starter motor.
So long as it's in a decent condition.
Just check that the bushes are ok and replace them if need be and off you go.
