Unhappy spec mini cooper s (mark congleton old mini)

Year: 2004
Make: MINI
Model: Hardtop
Price: $13000
Mileage: 12600
Color: black
Private or Dealer Listing: Private Listing
Location (Region): NorthEast

adult owned 2004 mini cooper s with only 12,498 miles(yes it does have 12,498 original miles) (will go up a little as every sunny day i drive it) the car has never seen snow and only seen rain 2 times since iv owned it. (never driven hard on the street at all) this car has been babied since my buddy bought it a few years ago.

THE ONLY REASON FOR SELLING: in my situation my insurance is well in easy words screwing me and i cant offord to fix the small things thats wrong with it. on top of that im moving to florida and need to funnel down to one car. im going to highly regret selling this car but life is life and you have to do what you have to do.

I HAVE A BOOK OF FULL HISTORY INCLUDING TITLES OF ARIZONA, THE CARS TUNING SETTINGS,PICTURES AND SO ON.

professionally built at penske dealership in Arizona for the spec mini challenge, this purpose built race car is street legal. this car was successfully raced in the spec mini series, finishing second place in regional points and first place in the national point races. this car has always been professionally maintained, and track ready.

the spec mini is a supercharged mini on steroids. has go kart like handling and its lightweight.

has over 25,000 dollars in modification done to the car and thats not even including the price of the actual car its self.

modifications include:

full race cage
sparco evo race seats
sparco 6 point harness's
wired for radios (including push to talk)
powerflex bushings
fire extinguisher
big stop tech brakes
fully adjustable front and rear sway bars
adjustable bilstein coilover (expensive! and top line!)
evotech computer management
headers
full milltek exhaust
amb race timing
and more little things im not remembering

this car turns a 1:47 at laguna seca, which would put it mid pack in the trans Am race at the 2006 Monterey histories. this car is very fast and safe.

still runs and drives amazing! i drive it every day no problems

now the bad

-going to need a sycro in the future (might just be the shift linkage) but if you drive it right it will last a long time. grinds when you put it in 3d slowly. but if you do it quick you have no problems what so every and you never even know it would do it.
-need a driver side axle boot
-normal scratches from being a daily in the summer

-honestly i cant think of anything else wrong with the car. but if i do or something pops up i will let the buyer know about it and we can discuss anything further.

i will be taking a walk around video of the car here in the future as soon as i get the chance when i stop working so much.
i need to $14,500 out of the car to get out of my loan. this car is easly worth 20k with all the modifications and the super low miles.



THE RIMS IN THE PICTURE I DO HAVE ON THE CAR ANYMORE BECAUSE OF OF DAYTONS WONDERFULL ROADS ONE OF THEM GOT DESTROYED. I HAVE A MATCHING SET OF BLACK RIMS WITH A CHROME LIP ON THE CAR THAT WHERE MY BACK UP RIMS.

still have the car, was told the grinding is from my shifter bushing being sloppy and not letting it line up properly when you go to shift it, but thats just what i was told.

ill take 13,000 and still has less then 15k miles, i quit driving it to keep the miles down. (ill pull it out couple times a month maybe).

i might start parting it and put it back to stock but i really dont want to at all.
