Up for sale is my beloved Mini Cooper S. She is a 2005 with 122k on the clock (I commute roughly 130 miles a day). Clean title with current registration. I am forced to get rid of her because this car can’t really haul clients around like I need to, so I’m moving on to something bigger. This car was owned by a BMW enthusiast and taken care of meticulously. Oil was changed every 3-5000 miles, waxed every couple of weeks and fully detailed in and out every couple of months. The maintenance on this car is completely up to date and almost bulletproof at this point. In the last few months, I have replaced the clutch/flywheel (comes with a warranty), control arm bushings, rewelded the catalytic converter/exhaust (common problem), New Michelin Primacy tires, spark plugs, Axle CV boot, crankshaft seal, clutch slave cylinder, ball joints, various moving parts inside of the transmission/clutch, headlight washer covers, and a complete fluid change (transmission, coolant, power steering, motor oil). (I keep and file all of my documents and will include it with the sale). A lot of this was preventative maintenance as I needed a reliable car to commute. I decided to change the clutch to the single mass kit as it was much easier to drive in LA traffic and much more reliable.
The modifications are as follows:
- Alta Cold Air Intake
- Alta 2.5” Catback exhaust
- Alta 0% Lightened crank pulley
- Single Mass Valeo Clutch/Flywheel conversion ($1500 job)
- 17” Rota wheels w/ New Michilin Primacy Mxm4 tires (75-80% left)
- Sprint Booster chip- Factory/Sport/Race mode
- Kenwood CD/MP3 head unit
- 10” Funkin Audio sub with custom Fiberglass box
- 250W Alpine amplifier with custom mount
- Outmotoring stubby antenna
- Joey Mod Blacked out headlights
- 6000k HID Fog lights
- Black hood/bumper grill
- Black headlight covers
- Black reflectors
- Black suede A Pillars
- Custom wired radar detector

THE BAD (If you can call it that)
- Needs a new windshield washer reservoir. I never use it so I didn’t have a chance to get it fixed.
- Mini steering wheel emblem chipped on one corner. Cheap Ebay fix
- Has some rock chips on the front bumper from commuting
needs a new mini key fob. My battery in the key died.


I am not necessarily in a rush to sell the car, my price is $10,000 OBO which I believe is fair for the condition and maintenance record. These cars can be expensive; if you do your research you will see that my price will save you money in the long run. I hate to sell this car, but it is time for something that I
