It's time to sell my beloved MINI (and the CR-V) and get one car the suits all my needs / wants.
In it's 5.5 years of life, it has logged 83,000 miles, mostly porting me back and forth ~20 miles to work, but also handling a bunch of family vacations, drives to the mountains, and quick jaunts to the Northern Neck. In other words, probably 85% highway miles.
Options include:
Manual transmission
Auto AC
sunroof
Single CD (non-HK system)
Front & rear fog lights
16" R83 wheels
The good:
It's a MINI!
stainless brake lines
runs well
cleans up pretty
rubber mats
Stock suspension components have 50K miles less than the rest of the car
New clutch last year
New valve cover gasket & seals last year
Ian Cull auto-up circuit
The bad:
right brake light doesn't work
worn steering wheel (I have a new one that will come with the car)
never had the boot striker-plate replaced, so it rattles a touch (there's a TSB for that)
minor wear on driver's seat
The ugly:
3" long crack in front fascia on the license plate mount & lower grille (easy parts to replace)
perfect dimple ding on passenger quarter-panel
various scuffs & scrapes
needs a bath
The bonus round:
I'm willing to include, free of charge, H-Sport springs, lower control arms, and sway bars; MiniMania intake; MyMINIParts exhaust; B&M short shift kit; original Alta 2-gauge pod with narrow-band air/fuel gauge. For $150 I'll toss in the Autometer D-PIC for the other side (if you don't know what that is, it's like the G-Tech Pro SS: reads G's forward & lateral, 0 - 60, 60 - 0, qtr mile, etc, but in a convenient, round format). Also found an official MINI car cover in the shed last night, along with 2-piece bra (for the car!).
I have and will include all the literature that came with the car, along with books, videos, and baubles that I've collected over the years.
But wait, there's more! Act now and I'll also include the factory original sun visor with protective sleeve, European-spec MINI-branded side and rear window-shades (with protective sleeves), and a glovebox organizer. Call within the next 24 hours and receive a free yellow shift-knob with your order.
