2007 Mini Cooper S - Maintenance Records Since New & Fully Loaded! on 2040-cars
Morris, Connecticut, United States
|
Introduction: Up for sale is my 2007 Mini Cooper S with 113,000 miles. It has a clean CT title (in hand) and has never been in an accident. I purchased the car in February of 2013 from the original owner who had service records dating back to when the car was brand new. I also have all service records from when I took over ownership at 92,000 miles. The previous owner had purchased the extended maintenance program which covered all regular maintenance on the car up to 100,000 miles. Every service was done in accordance with the maintenance schedule. The car runs strong, has amazing handling and I average 32.4 miles per gallon on mostly back roads. I’m selling it because I purchased a Jeep Wrangler. This is the second Mini Cooper S I have owned, the one prior to this was a 2005 which was also a lot of fun. The exterior is in great shape and the interior looks brand new. It comes with the two original keys and also has the hill start assist feature which makes this very easy to drive for a manual transmission. Below are the standard and additional options according to the original window sticker. Standard Features: * turbo charged, direct injected 1.6l, 16 valve inline 4 cal engine (172hp) * 6 speed manual Getrag transmission * MacPherson strut front suspension w/ multi link rear suspension * Electric, engine-speed-sensitive, power steering * 4 wheel anti lock disc brakes * all season traction control * 6 airbags, including side curtain * 6 way adjustable sport seats w/ driver and passenger height adjustment * anti lock braking system * corner break control * electronic brakeforce distribution * personally adjustable locking and lighting * sport button with increased throttle and steering response (this totally changes how the car drives and doesn’t effect fuel economy) * air conditioning with micro filter and air re-circulation * remote keyless entry * CD audio system with am/fm radio, 6 speakers, presets, aux input * power windows with “one touch” down operation * check control vehicle monitor system with pictogram display * split fold down rear seats * telescoping and height adjustable steering wheel * adjustable ambient lighting (color changing LED lights) * on-board computer * all weather floor mats Additional Options: * chili red paint * grey/carbon black leatherette * cold weather package * heated mirrors and washer jets * heated front seats * premium package * multi-function steering wheel * cruise control * sports leather steering wheel * moonroof (panoramic) * automatic air conditioning * sport package * 17” alloy wheels, crown spoke * dynamic stability control * Xenon headlights * Limited Slip Differential * tire pressure monitor * interior surface piano black * front fog lamps Maintenance Records: The maintenance records are listed below starting with most recent.

The car occasionally has the classic Mini Cooper S timing chain rattle during cold starts until the motor idles for a minute and oil circulates. It has been this way since I purchased the car over 20,000 miles ago and has never given me any problems. From what I can find there is no point in replacing it because people report having the cold start rattle come back soon after. 3. The tires should be replaced before this coming winter. I have not replaced them because the new owner may have a unique tire preference based on the type of driving they do and where they live. I assume the final sale price will reflect this. 4. There is one small acorn dent on the hood and minor rock chips from winter driving Summary: This is a great car and I wouldn’t hesitate to drive it across country tomorrow. Anyone is welcome to come inspect and test drive it before bidding. Please don’t hesitate to ask me any additional questions that you may have. The Kelly Blue Book value ranges from $8,995 for “excellent" to $7,632 for “fair”. Payment must be made via cash or certified bank check. A $300 PayPal deposit is required within 24 hours of the auction ending. It is also for sale locally so the auction may be cancelled if it sells. I can be reached via email or by calling 860-790-0892. If you are the winning bidder please call me within 24 hours of the auction ending. All the best, Rob |

2015 Mini Hardtop 5-Door isn't for the country, man [w/video]
Thu, 02 Oct 2014We've seen it in super high-res glory, and we can even build one on the automaker's website, but the Paris Motor Show marks the official coming out party for the new Mini Hardtop 4 Door (which is what it's called in the US, despite this Euro car having "5 Door" badging). It's a stretched version of the third-generation Mini Hardtop, but with an extra set of doors for rear seat passengers. Think of it as a more useful Clubman, but with a lower ride height and less rugged-ness than the Countryman. Got it? Good.
Engine options carry over from the normal Mini Hardtop range, with a 1.5-liter turbo-three and a 2.0-liter turbo-four offering 134 and 189 horsepower, respectively. The rest of the car is everything else you know and love from the Mini range, just with a more spacious rear bench. And as you'd expect, there's a nearly endless pallet of customization options.
The Hardtop 4 Door arrives at US dealerships just before the end of the year, commanding a roughly $1,000 premium over its three-door kin. Scope out our new live shots in the gallery above, and take in the extensive press blast, below.
The original Mini Cooper still has universal appeal
Wed, 10 Sep 2014It sold over five million units. It was voted the second most influential car of the last century, bested only by the pioneering Ford Model T. It counted among its owners Steve McQueen, Enzo Ferrari and Peter Sellers. It is the classic Mini.
The tiny, two-box, four-seat hatch is an automotive icon of the first order and it's high time it featured in an episode of Petrolicious. Of course, the video gurus did it right, filming this handsome 1971 Mini, which has been modified to accommodate the 1,275-cc four-cylinder from the Mini Cooper S of the time.
Its owner, Sumner Norman, describes life with his right-hand-drive, UK-spec Mini. Naturally, he points out some of the idiosyncrasies inherent with a car built under the guise of British Leyland, including some of well known reliability woes, which he says is the car "going British." Mostly, though, he just seems to have a good time with the little hatch.
New Mini to bow on Nov. 18, on Alec Issigonis' birthday
Wed, 07 Aug 2013Miniacs, note November 18 on your calendar. That's when the all-new Mini Hardtop will debut. Now, this might not be a great deal of news, after all, we already showed you the car, codenamed F56, a few weeks ago. But this full unveiling should bring with it even more detailed exterior images, a full look at the cabin and if we're lucky, performance numbers.
History buffs will also note that November 18 is the birthday of Sir Alec Issigonis. It was Issigonis that penned the original idea for the Mini on a cocktail napkin, envisioning a car with a transversely mounted engine, the wheels pushed out to all four corners and plenty of cabin space for occupants. That car had a remarkably small footprint and was quite efficient, perfect for tackling the fuel shortages brought on by the Suez Crisis in 1959's Great Britain. An unintended side-effect of its design was that it was also an absolute hoot to drive.
The November 18 debut will take place at Mini's home, Plant Oxford, in the UK. Following that, November 20 will see a near-simultaneous debut at both the Tokyo Motor Show and Los Angeles Auto Show. We'll be on hand to bring you all the details.
