This is my CLEAN title 2007 Mini Cooper S up for sale. I bought this car with the intention of it keeping it for a while and fixing up little things as it had an extensive maintenance history all its life. I purchased it from the original owner who took incredibly good care of the vehicle having done all the major maintenance on this car over the years. She custom ordered this car from factory brand new and put a lot of money and time into this car to keep it running and I wanted to continue the same. However, I have to unexpectedly free up my space now to bring another vehicle in, and simply do not have the time to drive this car around, as it’s been sitting in my driveway for the past 3 weeks.
The good:
- CLEAN title
- Up to date with MAJOR maintenance
- 144k miles: timing chain and tensioner guide replaced. If you don’t know about these cars, this is ultimately what blows up the engine, and this has been done at the dealership.
- 120k miles: new clutch replaced
- Cold AC
- 2 keys
- No rust
- Non smoker/No odors in vehicle
The bad:
- Check Engine Light is on but the vehicle runs fine. Previous owner has been driving with the CEL on for a while. Have not gotten a chance to bring it to a shop and get it diagnosed as it’s been driving well.
- Oil leak is certainly present on the engine bay, but I haven’t noticed any obvious leaks in my driveway. Weird, I know, don’t know how else to explain it
- TPMS light on
Overall, the car runs pretty well and the previous owner put tens of thousands of dollars to keep the car running well until now. I simply don’t have the time to put into this car to fix the check engine light. However, the interior is very clean and clutch is fairly new, so it would make a perfect car to learn manual in without having to worry about losing much money. If you’re looking for the perfect mechanically sound car, this is definitely not it.
If you have any questions, please feel free to shoot me a message.
