FS: 2006 MINI Cooper S w/ 124K Miles; 6 Speed Manual

[randmness]

Basic Details:

2006 MINI Cooper S w/ 124K miles

- 6 speed Manual

- Sport Package (17" Wheels, headlamp power washers, front fog lights, Xenon headlights)

- Cold Weather Package (Heated seats, mirrors, and windshield washer reservoir)

- Panoramic Sunroof

 

Mods:

- 15% Reduction SC Pulley

- DDM Cold Air Intake

- JCW Front Strut Bar

- 30% Tint

 

Like mentioned above, it is lightly modded and well-maintained. In the last 5K miles, I have replaced the spark plugs, ignition coil, ignition wires, supercharger oil, transmission fluid (Redline MTL), crank pulley (ATI - stock size), water pump, thermostat, serpentine belt, engine mount, and valve cover gasket. Clutch was replaced about 30K miles ago.

 

The Good: Drives well. No noticeable rust issues. Cylinders passed compression test. Extensive maintenance history.

 

The Bad: Clear coat on the bonnet and roof is beginning to fail. Clear coat on the hatch has failed and is peeling. While the transmission is cold, shifting into 3rd or 4th gear can be knotchy.

Sorry that you're selling. I hope you find a nice buyer.

 

We just started getting to know you :wavey:

Car looks great! I would suggest selling the ddmworks intake and putting the oem one back on, more people will want to see a "stock" motor especially at higher miles, wouldn't want people to get the "wrong" idea, red mini and mods.

 

Either way good luck and I'll surely send people your way if I run across anyone searching. How negotiable are you on the price? Factoring it will need a total respray.

It was nice getting to meet you guys. DCMM and CMMM are filled with some pretty cool people. I do plan to buy another vehicle later this year (after we purchase another home first), but it will probably be something larger.

 

In regards to the car, I probably should have [listened to my wife and] bit the bullet a repair or two ago, but I'm stubborn.

I thought about removing the DDM intake, but it's cold outside and I don't want to deal with swapping it out again.

 

The price is pretty flexible. With that being said, I do have a buyer. If nothing arises between now and early next week, it will be going to them.

Hey, if you ever decide to swap out the CAI, let me know - i might be interested pending price and mileage.

I never removed it and the warranty is long gone so I'm keeping it. I love how it makes my super charger sound

The car is sold.

 

Thanks again everyone. Until we meet again.
