I just picked up a 40+mpg golf Tdi to cut down on fuel costs for my 100 mi daily commute so the mini has got to go. This car is as close to perfect as you find on 80k+ mini. It's seen almost exclusively highway miles consisting of 95% cruise control driving with a little fun on the on ramps. No accidents or body work, all original paint. Always off street parked. Never smoked in.

Most notably the engine was replaced under the CPO warranty by Herb Chambers Mini of Boston at 84500 due to a blown piston. The new motor comes with a 2 year unlimited mileage warranty through Mini, perfect for a high mileage commuter. I just got it through the break in period. When they replaced the motor there was only 20% life left on the clutch. They agreed to replace the clutch if I paid for the parts ($350). How could I say no. From what I hear Mini Clutches typically go between 80k and 100k and is $2000 - $3000 job alone. It also has the remainder of the Mini Next 6 year, 100k mile warranty which also includes Mini roadside assistance.

bump. Forgot to mention that the dealer installed a brand new clutch while they had the motor out.

 

bumpity bump. make an offer

 

bump. I've come to the conclusion that nobody buys cars on NAM. prove me wrong

 

cool is that a detachable roof rack? and how did you get your GPS to sit there?? im noob lol or you can just say "im a girl" lol
anyway nice car good luck with the sale

 

The OEM R56 roof rack is detachable, but it's not the easiest thing in the world to take on / off. The GPS was installed by the dealer for the previous owner. I think it's just double stick tape.

Price drop!!!

 

price drop bump, $16000

 

Gorgeous car. Is the turbo itself old or new?

 

Turbo is original. I tried to have them replace it with the motor, but they wouldn't do it.
