What do you guys think if this car? Id be buying it sight unseen if I work out a deal. The pasti-dip accents are removed but lead me to believe a younger driver owned this car......opinions?

Has good interior with lapis blue, hard to find. The interior is pretty stock and in good shape , still have the ash tray and the extra cup holder. HK is a plus and so is the sunroof.

Euro flip top armrest +1

Stick +1

Auto climate control +1

Heated seats +1

Fog lights +1



The outside its had a Cooper S , to Cooper rear exhaust conversion or something and three of the wheel are aftermarket with larger snow tires, one is the OEM 5 spoke wheel , so something to think about there.

Outside taillights are aftermarket LED version.

I would have it inspected and check it out, the pastidip does point to something but I have seen many people do this young and older. Also ask about the previous owner if they know.

Check it out and go through it front to back .

Good luck.

 

Can't believe someone would sell a car with mismatched wheels

Original Build Specs ...

 

Isn't that the new "KEWL"???

I wouldn't touch any used Mini without complete maintenance/repair records. And what's up with the tailpipe on the right instead of center like all OEM Cooper S??

 

It's always a good idea to have a trusted mechanic complete a thorough inspection before you buy a used car. With that said, here's a video, posted by Mod MINI, that can assist you in your own inspection. The recommendations might be a bit more than you can do yourself.
