Hi,

Up for sale is my 2005 JCW MINI. This is a incredibly rare find with only 49k miles on it. Furthermore, this car has been made bulletproof with thousands of dollars in recent maintenance and upgrades. You will simply not find another one with these recent maintenance or upgrades done on the market, PERIOD.

This is a incredibly rare find with only 48,795 miles on it. Furthermore, this car has been made bulletproof with thousands of dollars in recent maintenance and upgrades. You will simply not find another one with these recent maintenance or upgrades done on the market, PERIOD.

All the issues of 1st-Gen MINIs have been addressed. Read below for a comprehensive list of what has been replaced. I built this car to have an upgraded, reliable and bulletproof JCW MINI.

This is a two-owner Southern California car that has never been exposed to any harsh elements. This car has never seen salted roads, snow and rarely rain. It has been garaged kept. No rust anywhere even under door sill (common issue).

The car was ordered new through South Bay MINI and had the dealer installed JCW tuning kit installed. The car was also fitted with the JCW aero kit at the same time.

This vehicle has never been involved in any accidents or collision. Clean Carfax and Autocheck on hand. No liens and title in hand as well.

This car has always been heavily maintained by local MINI dealerships and reputable independent mechanics. I have full service records and documents for this car. Both keys and all the books will be included.

The car came from the factory spec'ed:

Beyond what is mentioned above, the car had the supercharger oil service done, brake flush with Motul RBF600, power steering flush with CHF11S Pentosin fluid, OEM coolant flush, oil changed with Liqui Moly. Furthermore the engine has had its carbon cleaned, injector cleaned and fuel system cleaned.

Essentially what you're reading above is correct. There was an overkill amount of maintenance done. I had the shop change every gasket that was leaking or potentially could leak. All components such as coolant hoses, water pump, oil exchanger, radiator fans, power steering pump, fans, etc. were replaced as a precaution. There are simply no leaks. The entire motor itself has been degreased and cleaned prior to reassembly. There really is nothing I can foresee going wrong in a very long time. Areas that commonly fail from now until 100k have been addressed.

All the suspension components and bushings are new, all the pads, rotors, sensors, lines are new as well. The wheels themselves have no curb rash on them and have a brand new set of Falken RT615k installed on them (DOT 2015). The wheels have been professionally road force balanced.

The interior has been tastefully upgraded with OEM Piano Black dash/doors. The roof lining has been retrofitted with the OEM Anthracite headliner with all the proper pillars, lights and visor colors.

The OEM armrest has been retrofitted with the proper console and bracket.

The OEM Auto Dim mirror has also been added with the Homelink function. For the perfectionists, the car has the complete toggle bank and rear foglight retrofitted as well.

The body has no dents, dings or major scratches. I am very careful to park far away at parking lots. The car has been regularly detailed and cared for.

The car is only washed with de-ionized water, pressure washer and a foam gun. It is waxed once a month. The leather interior has been treated with Leatherique. The exterior plastics have been rejuvenated with Black Wow. Any fading plastics due to age have been replaced.

The car drives like a dream. It pulls strong, has no vibrations/rattles and is upgraded with high-end parts. All the maintenance items have been replaced with OEM parts not 3rd party junk. Once again, any common failure points or wear and tear item have been replaced.

I have $10,000+ in maintenance and upgrades for this car in just the last 2 months alone. If you're wondering if something has been replaced, chances are it has been.

Please note, not all the photos are recent, due to the bad weather lately I have not been able to pull the car outside for photos.

$16,999 OBO I am flexible on the price, make me an offer.

Very Very nice example but that is a LOT for that year and spec, everyone know you don't get your money back from upgrades unfortunately....

 

Clean car but that's GP money...

 

Well this is a completely restored car and OP does say "OBO". If this is PW it would be my Unicorn. GLWS!
