Description:

Has been a great car, but I am not able to put time into it now- I had Mini Cooper dealership in Loveland replace the timing chain /components about 4 years ago- then it gave problems to my wife when she was driving home from a trip not that long ago- the vehicle still runs, poorly- From what I gather I could maybe fix it with a few VANOS solenoids, but when I went to replace them, I stupidly stripped the single screw on the back solenoid, and have no way of getting to it to replace it as I do not have a shop setup, it would require pulling the engine just to get to that screw now- and I don't know that guarantees a fix even at that point. The vehicle itself is in great shape, everything works, otherwise a perfect vehicle. Brakes and rotors might need changed- that was on my to do list before it gave up on me.  I know the parts themself have pretty decent value, and this vehicle could be like a brand new rig if someone has the ability to drop a new engine into it.
