2008 MCS Laser Blue Hardtop

Year: 2008
Make: MINI
Model: Hardtop
Price: $5000
Mileage: 128000
Color: Laser Blue/black
Private or Dealer Listing: Private Listing
Location (Region): NorthEast

Selling my 08 MCS, its been a daily driver in Buffalo, NY for 5 years (and 75k miles) for me. This is not a pristine car, there are scratches and signs of wear on the car (I'm just trying to be honest). The car is laser blue with black top and mirror caps, sunroof, heated seats, auto climate control, better radio (tweeters in A-pillars), and chromeline exterior. This car came with sport suspension, and its an automatic. I continue to enjoy driving the car, and the miles will increase.

I've done a bunch of mods, these will be going with the car:
JCW steering wheel with paddles
Koni Sport shocks (painted black)
Ireland Engineering fixed camber plates
H-sport 25.5 mm rear sway bar
Alta rear control arms (painted black, 4 bars)
M7 heat shield (factory shield retained underneath)
Mason aluminum strut bar (painted black)
BSH catch can

We can discuss if you want the accessport/helix intercooler/boost tubes, I'll be taking off the JCW exhaust and replacing with stock MCS.

I've done (and had done) a bunch of maintenance:
Thermostat (twice, including this year)
water pump (metal housing)
valve cover
Driver side CV (torn boot)
Oil filter housing/heat exchanger seals
SS Braided turbo oil line
multiple trans fluid changes (filter once)

The car just passed inspection in October. Brakes are 3/4 (EBC reds and zimmerman rotors). Alignment done this year (2 degrees camber front/rear). I have done oil changes every 5k, and had carbon cleaned twice in the time I've owned it (ports are clean now). It has Enkei wheels on it with nearly new Conti Extreme Contact tires. I also have a set of Challenge wheels with worn out Michelin PSS if you prefer. I will be putting on 16" snows on factory wheels soon. All wheels have TPMS.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for looking.

Valued at $5017 on kbb.com, so I've dropped the price to $5000 or best offer. I'm ready to deal.

Have fun,
Mike

Price drop to $5500, open to offers.


Looks like I'm going to get a different MINI. I would rather have someone get this car that will enjoy it, rather than give it to the dealer.


Have fun,
Mike

Dealer insulted me with a lowball offer, price drop again. Let me know your thoughts.

Have fun,
Mike
