    One of the best looking mini's you'll come across. I always get positive comments everywhere I go - unlike any other car I've ever owned. The twin exit exhaust and the black gloss margin on the aero kit and wheel flares really set it apart from all the clones. 6 Speed, only 64k miles, excellent condition (always garaged, clearbra, babied), original owner (no smoking ever allowed), located in south Orange County (zip 92694), $16.9K worth in upgrades, asking $14,750 email [email protected], Telephone 949 245 8121.

    Notables:
    • LOW MILES 64K - Started working from home in 2009 so mileage since then has been extremely low, as of May 2014 mileage = 64k
    • Major service/maintenance completed within a few thousand miles so it's in great shape
    o New brakes as of 55k miles
    o Engine Mount and Front control arm bushing replaced at 55k miles with urethane bushing so they should last a lot longer than 50k miles
    o Front Crank sensor O ring is notorious for minor oil leaks but a $5 O ring from WayMotorWorks fixes it - I did this at 59k miles, fixed it right up
    o 6/18/12 59.6k miles, changed oil, supercharger/auxillary belt changed, installed tensioner stop, replaced tensioner shock bushings with more durable urethane bushings - Belt from O'Reilly (made by Gates) for your MINI Cooper S for 15% or 17% pulley with 2% crank pulley : 1385mm/K060539
    o 12/21/12 61225 miles rotated tires
    o 2/09/13 61.6k miles, new JCW plugs (JCW spark plug is NGK part number BKR7EQUP), new magnacor 8.5 mm red plug wires
    o cleaned/re-oiled reusable foam Unifilter airfilter at 63Kmiles
    • The Blueflame Twin Exit Tunable Cooper S Exhaust is pretty rare - Sounds great, looks fantastic and you can tune the sound with the provided deadener inserts, loud or closer to stock.
    • The OZ Racing Ultraleggera wheels are only 17lbs which is real light for 18" wheels - currently wrapped in 215/35R18 Goodyear Eagle F1 added at 51k miles currently at 64k miles
    • Aero Kit margin & fender flares are painted with Black Gloss (rare and aesthetically superior) not textured flat black that most others do to match the plastic textured flares which cheapens the look and does not match the Black Gloss Roof. You can wax my gloss flares too unlike the stock plastic flares where keeping wax off them is a fuss.
    • Clearbra on Hood and front Aero bumper
    • blacked out most chrome, beltline/door handles/side grills/front grills/gas cap
    o headlight rings painted body color
    • removed mini cooper s emblems
    • 666 - emblems won't be everyone's cup of tea easily removed with dental floss
    • Yellow - leopard print mirror caps won't be everyone's cup of tea, easily switched with the dozens of available inexpensive mirror cap options for mini - one of the most common easy mods made. Possibly the carbon fiber look mirror caps to match the JCW roof spoiler maybe your preference?
    • Generation 1 mini length is 143" whereas generation 2 added 2.4 inches and generation 3 is longer by 6.9 inches more than generation 1 - Gen1 is the real mini and the later ones are well; less mini:)
    • Most recently smog tested just this last December 2013. Note the Dinan cold air intake it has is one of the few with a CA emission sticker
    • Maintenance history, carfax report and most upgrade receipts will be provided
    • Just been detailed inside and out - gorgeous
