I'm new to the forum but I've had my 2010 Mini Cooper Clubman for about 3 years now. I got my Mini after my last car was rear ended and totaled by the insurance company. Never had any thoughts about having a Mini until one evening I saw a used mini for sale on the side of the road near my house. I thought "A used Mini isn't all that expensive" And they look cool. That was a Tuesday, by Sunday I had my mini. Turns out my Mini cost almost exactly what an insurance company will give you for a totaled 2007 Infiniti G35X

I've had to put quite a bit of money into the car so far to fix what tend to be common issues. Thermostat/water pump, fuel pump, head gasket. Just replaced the clutch this past week. Hopefully all the major issues are behind me. Hoping to get some good info here and maybe do some upgrades too.

Nice! The JCW body kit is now NLA, so a rare kit. And the roof rack is way expensive for what it is, too. Nice find!

Even better was the original owner kept it garaged and didn't use it as a daily driver so it only had 55,000 miles when I got it . It definitely was the nicest Clubman around when I found it!
