I designed this car online and took excellent care of it ever since it was delivered in 2005. It has low mileage and most of the miles are highway miles as this car has been all over the place. It is super clean and runs like a dream. On Friday, May 31, I took it into Passport MINI of Alexandria to have it checked out for sale and our tech said that there were only 4 things that needed to be done besides the regular oil change. He also said the car was in excellent condition!!
($1785)The items that were fixed:
the front brakes and rotors were replaced
the right front inner and outer tie rods were replaced
because the tie rods were replaced - the car was aligned
and finally - the oil pan gasket was replaced. This car is now like new!
This car is amazingly fun and zippy. It also has a supercharger, so there is no turbo-lag. This version came out before the S was available with automatic transmission and there were no MINIs with turbos, yet. The original jack and owner's manual are still here as well as the original dealer sticker. I added some things like the hidden jumper cables. The battery is in the back, so I have actually been able to jump cars on the highway before. The original battery did die last summer because the poor car was in the garage for too long, but it has a sparkly new one now and we've driven around as much as possible. I have a AUX converter in the bottom of the console with a male male mini RCA, so anything with a headphone jack can be plugged in and played through the speakers. It's pretty useful to listen to music or plug your phone in with a slight echo on the other person's end. I also had a rear-facing convertible car seat behind the passenger seat up until last Thursday when we decided it was time to get a 4-door with more trunk space. I LOOVE my MINI. I was debating selling it, but I don't get to drive it as much as I'd like now. I hope there is someone out there who will enjoy it at least as much as I have. This car is wonderful and has no issues besides a tiny ping in the windshield that happened while coming up 395 to get to the dealership and a small indention where a nut fell from a tree in the fall of 2010 and caught me coming down a curvy road in WV. I tried to take a picture of it, but it is so small, you can barely see it. It is shown in the last photo.
I've included pictures of everything I could think of, but if you need more information or have questions, let me know. Thank you for checking out this awesome car! Have a great day :)

2014 Mini John Cooper Works Countryman All4
Fri, 11 Apr 2014The standard Mini Countryman is a bit of an odd duck against the backdrop of 'normal' small crossovers like the Mazda CX-5 and the Ford Escape, but I sort of get it. Apply the same winning Mini formula to a CUV, and you get a smaller-than-average entry in the segment, one that is far more entertaining to drive than the norm, more stylish inside and out and pretty expensive when cross-shopped. That list of qualities doesn't appeal to all crossover shoppers, sure, but it intrigues a big enough list that the Countryman has reason for being.
Now, add the expensive John Cooper Works package to the Countryman's already niche goodies list, and Mini starts to lose me. So, I'm getting the softer suspended, taller, generally less dynamically joyful version of the brand's core values, but now you're charging me at least $35,000 ($13k more expensive than the basic, front-drive Cooper Countryman and $7k more than the MSRP of the Cooper S All4 version)? What's that? You're going to make it look like a garish, tippy-toed tuner car in the process? Take my money.
Or, actually, let me keep it. I can swing with a lot of the weirdness that Mini has to offer, but this car pushed me past my limit.
Next-gen Mini interior ditching familiar center speedo
Fri, 29 Mar 2013A Reddit user has posted images of the 2015 F56 Mini Cooper, one each of the exterior and interior. As has been the case since the launch of the new Mini in 2001, the overall exterior shape underneath camouflage screams Mini, but insiders are still calling the coming F56 model "the most aggressively different new Mini yet." Inside, though, the two-door that defined premium hatchbacks has, according to its most devoted buyers, gone mainstream.
The giant ring atop the center console is there, but there's no longer a speedometer inside of it. Instead, in an integration that brings to mind words like "shoehorned," Mini designers have placed radio and telephone controls inside the bezel. According to the Mini experts at MotoringFile, the picture above is the base trim and one of four possible treatments - in the upper trims a larger screen for navigation takes up most of the space. The bezel itself is marked with mood lighting that supposedly "swirls around" when you start the car with the red toggle switch.
The speedo rests atop the steering column with a tachometer placed to its left. The BMW wheel pictured is just for the prototype - you can expect a familiar three-spoke Mini wheel when the car is revealed, and latest rumor is that the event will take place at this year's Frankfurt Motor Show.
Help Mini decide on its next limited-edition Cooper
Mon, 17 Feb 2014Mini likes to make a big hullabaloo about the number of ways its cars can be configured, which currently stands at 10 million. While that figure is impressive, the BMW-owned brand is always looking for new and unique design variations, a trend that has seen a number of special-edition Minis pop up over the years boasting unique color and trim items.
For the new, third-generation F56 Mini, the British brand is at it again. Only this time, the cars are designed and chosen by Mini's fans in a new contest. Called "The New Originals," Mini teamed its 10 Final Test Test Drive winners with an illustrator to design their perfect Mini, one of which will become the next special-edition model.
The ten cars are currently being voted on by the brand's fans on the Mini USA website, with the winner set to be announced at the 2014 New York Auto Show in April. A total of 56 examples of the winning entry will then be put on sale, making this one of the most limited of Mini's many limited editions. Voting closes on February 19, so hop over to the page and vote for your favorite.
