The mother-in-law upgraded to a 2015 countryman, and offered to sell me her 2008 MCS for cheap. I could not pass on the offer, and picked it up last night. I do not have any pictures as of right now, but it is British racing green, with white stripes on the front.
The car has about 138,000 miles on it, which has me a bit nervous. The car seems to be in good shape. The owner mentions that the timing chain guide has never been changed, but has maintenance records for pretty much everything and says he typically feeds it about 1qt of oil per month.

Hi and welcome to NAM.
I would not worry about the miles, but would surely change the cam chain and tensioners. These should have been done at 100K miles.
Make sure to only use full synthetic oils and only use premium fuel. (high octane)
And show us some pics, when you get you hands on a camera!

 

Took some pictures yesterday on my way home from work. Found out this morning that the left rear light is out. The previous owner said that there is something wrong with it and has a new assembly that he's gonna give me this weekend.

 

Awesome what part of FL? Obviously the wet part but im near Tampa area, been raining like crazy over here. Traction Control OFF!!!!

 

I have a fondness for BRG Mini Coopers, as it was the color of my first one!

05 with stripes and chrono pack.
I always loved this car and wish I had it back!

 

Welcome it looks good. For sure go over the maint on the car and if it hasn't had a timing chain it might be a good idea.

 

I am located in the Deltona area.
I also picked up some wheels a couple of weeks ago.



Also cleaned up the headlamp lenses.
