2005 Mini Cooper! No Reserve!!!!

This is a 2005 Mini Cooper. It has 129,213 miles on it. It is a very fun car to drive as it has the 5 speed manual transmission. This car is not perfect and needs some work, but it is going to make someone very happy. And if you know how to work on a Mini this car will be for you!

I tried to take pictures of everything. The car is blue in color, leather two tone interior and a very large power sunroof. Power windows, power locks, air bags and air conditioning. And up until recently it never had a problem. Also it is NOT the turbo S version. 

I have some some issues with the driver's side door. The window mechanism is messed up. A mechanic put two vise grips on to hold the window in place. Obviously in the up position. He said the pulley system needed work. The side panel is also coming off. I am sorry I know very little about car mechanics and just trying to be as honest as possible. 

The heater also does not work. There are issues with the coil and there was a leak. A mechanic stopped the leak but there is no longer heat. 

Because I have not driven the car in a while the battery was dead. I had AAA charge it but they said (while it is holding a charge now) it will need a new battery. 

The major issue with the car is the engine has what I have been told has a blown gasket. I was driving the car to work and it started to overheat. I called AAA and they loaded the car on their flatbed and brought it back to the garage. I was told that a gasket blew and radiator fluid leaked into the engine oil. He said it would take a lot of labor to fix. 

There may be other small issues with the car as it is used and obviously being sold as is. The car runs now but it will overheat fairly quickly. Again the car needs work. 

I am now packing up for college and my Dad said to just sell it on eBay to the highest bidder. If you know how to fix cars I think this would be a great project. If you don't work on them yourself than this may not be the best car for you. But like I said, this car was a blast to drive. I was going to get another one but there is not a Mini dealer in Maine. 

I should also mention I purchased the car in Texas. Not in Maine. So the body is in great shape. I drove it up to Maine last year. 

NOTES: PLEASE READ.

1.) I will do my best to answer any questions but I do not know much about car mechanics. 

2.) The car is being sold "as-is". I have tried to be honest but I can only repeat what I have been told by others mechanics as to the issues with the car. The current issues may be easy to fix or major repairs. I simply do not know. This is a project car. 

3.) You will NOT want to drive the car away as it will overheat. It will need to be towed or picked up with a flatbed. This obviously means I am also not able to meet anybody to deliver the car. It will have to be picked up at my parking garage in Portland, Maine. I have the clear title. There are no plates on the car. 

4.) The winner buyer MUST pay by with CASH or BANK CHECK at time of pick up. We can also accept PayPal for any portion of the purchase price. 

5.) The car must be paid for and picked up before August 1st as I am leaving to college. That is why it is only a 5 day auction. You can pick it up at my parking garage in Portland, Maine. 
 
This car IS being sold to the highest bidder with NO reserve. It much be sold and picked up by August 1st!! 

Thanks and Good Luck!

2025 Mini Cooper four-door makes more room for the people in the back

Thu, Jun 13 2024

There seems to be no end to the new Minis. The new compact range has dispensed from the Munich HQ like Pez since last September. Here's another one: the 2025 Mini Cooper four-door (or five-door, depending on where you live) with the internal combustion powertrain. This is the longer and more-doored version of the two-door Cooper and Cooper S revealed in February for our market. An additional 2.8 inches of wheelbase and 6.8 inches of length makes more room for second-row passengers and cargo room. The automaker says designers made the rear "noticeably wider" inside, giving three-up accommodations more room to swing their elbows. Using European measurements, cargo capacity stands at 9.7 cubic feet with the second row up, 32.7 cubic feet with the second row down. The U.S.-market Cooper S four-door gets a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine making 201 horsepower and 221 pound-feet of torque, same as in the two-door, those numbers 21 hp and 15 lb-ft better than the outgoing Mini's turbo 2.0-liter. This trim is going to cost $34,195 after the $995 destination fee when it reaches dealers in about three months. Come January 2025, Mini will add a Cooper C trim with four doors. It will use the same engine as the S but with a lower output, and be priced under the S.  International markets will also get a turbocharged three-cylinder engine as the entry-level motor, that mill making 154 hp and 170 lb-ft of torque. The outgoing 1.5-liter three-cylinder in the base U.S.-market Mini makes 134 hp and 162 lb-ft, so buyers are in for improvements no matter what market they're in and which engines they get. The European trim step will be Essential, Classic, Favored, and JCW. Omitting the three-cylinder here, we'll enjoy Classic, Favored, and JCW in a choice of 11 body colors and three contrasting roof treatments; the Favoured theme includes the option of a multi-hued roof with a three-color gradient. If wheel sizing matches the two-door, U.S. buyers can choose from 17- and 18-inch aero wheels, but not the 16-inchers on sale elsewhere.  Related Video This content is hosted by a third party.

Mini Paceman modified by Roberto Cavalli for annual Life Ball charity

Fri, 10 May 2013

This year's award for Life Ball Mini designer goes to Roberto Cavalli. The Life Ball is a charity event held in Vienna, Austria every year that raises money to fight the spread of HIV and AIDS. Since 2001, the year of its reintroduction, Mini has been involved with the ball, auctioning a car that has been made over by a world-famous designer. This year Cavalli gets the nod and a Paceman for a canvas.
The iridescent brown/black paint is the eye-catcher in the sketch above (click to enlarge), but don't forget to note Cavalli's logo on the roof. We're not sure what other flourishes he has in mind for the car, but those in attendance will find out on May 24 when it's unveiled at the Cavalli store opening in Vienna. The press release below has more details.

Next electric Mini Cooper due out in 2024 with a lot more range

Thu, Mar 9 2023

The next-generation Mini Hardtop is expected to make its global debut in the not-too-distant future. The hatchback will be offered with gasoline- and battery-powered drivetrains, and a new report provides preliminary specifications about the electric model. One of the more significant changes will appear in advertisements and other promotional material: while the hatchback is officially known as the Hardtop in the United States and the Hatch in England, its successor will adopt the Cooper nameplate. We'll need to be patient to see how the Mini has evolved from a visual perspective but company boss Stephanie Wurst told British magazine Autocar that designers have taken it "back to its roots." It's not expected to grow in length but it will be wider than its predecessor and it will ride on a longer wheelbase. Made in China via a joint-venture with Great Wall Motors, the electric, two-door-only Cooper will be available with either a 40- or a 54-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack. Those figures correspond to the global-market model; details about the American-market car haven't been released. Range will check in at 240 miles for the smaller pack, according to Autocar, and the standard model will put 181 horsepower under the driver's right foot. Buyers who need more will be asked to step up to the Cooper SE, which will be rated at 215 horsepower.  In comparison, the current Cooper SE has 181 horsepower, about 110 miles of driving range, and a 32.6-kilowatt-hour battery pack. Made in England, the gasoline-powered Cooper hasn't been detailed yet. Autocar learned that there's a good chance the model will only be offered with an automatic transmission, so get a stick now while you still can. Front-wheel-drive will continue to come standard. We'll hear more about the next Cooper in the coming months, but it's not the next new model that we'll see from Mini. The third-generation Countryman previewed earlier in 2023 is tentatively scheduled to enter production in Germany in late 2023; it will be available with gasoline- and battery-powered drivetrains as well. The electric Cooper will reportedly arrive in May 2024, about two months before its gasoline-burning counterpart, so it will go on sale here in time for the 2025 model year. When it lands, it will compete in the same segment as the Fiat 500e. Related video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
