    For sale:
    2007 R56
    101xxx miles
    Automatic
    Lightning Blue/ Black top
    Sunroof
    15" Alloys
    Black leatherette interior
    MINI Boost sound system
    Heated seats

    The car is located just north of Detroit, stored at Detroit Tuned to be exact.

    I bought this car in need of head work, the previous owner had a coolant leak that turned into her overheating the car. Since buying the car I've done a lot of work to it to bring it back up to running order.

    List of work done:
    Head was sent to the machine shop to be inspected.
    Head was decked
    6 valves and seats were replaced
    All 16 valve guides and seals were replaced
    OE head gasket
    OE head bolts
    All TTY timing cassette bolts were replaced
    MINI chain tensioner
    OE thermostat
    OE waterpump
    OE aftermarket radiator
    Oil filter housing seal was replaced due to an oil leak.
    Fresh oil change with Royal Purple and a MINI filter
    NGK spark plugs
    SP Performance brake pads front and rear.

    The car runs and looks great aside from a handful of dents, but there is no paint missing, zero rust and the interior cleaned up rather well from when I picked it up. I drove it for a few days and netted 32 MPG city after the repairs. It rides great, no clunks, and is quite honestly a nice change up from driving a car on a stiff suspension and manual trans with a Borla exhaust, I would keep it as an around towner if I wasn't looking to buy a house in the next year.

    Here is a link to the Craigslist ad: 2007 MINI Cooper

    The car is listed at $5500 but I am open to offers.

    I am easiest to get a hold of via my cell phone, text would be preferred during the day but if I am not able to answer your call leave me a message and I will get back to you as soon as possible. 586-596-1791

    Thanks,
    Nick

    Good luck with your sale...nice looking Sa! :Thumbsup: However, I sure hope this does not mean you will no longer be coming to MOTD's Cigar Salon in May and/or you will no longer own a MINI. :frown2:
