One owner, stock, purchased new as a special order from MINI of Sterling in March 2007. We love this car. The only reason we're selling is that my wife is pregnant, and we have three cars. Makes sense to sell the smallest one.

Aside from a couple warranty items (detailed below) done at the dealership and the couple times I replaced the brake pads, all mechanical work has been performed by Grant Randall and his team at Alexandria Bavarian Service. His shop works exclusively on BMWs and MINIs.

The Good:
- Supercharged 4-cylinder engine -- 168 horsepower
- 6-speed manual transmission
- Cold Weather Package (heated seats, mirrors and washer jets)
- Premium Package (steering wheel radio controls, chrome trim, a/c)
- Sport Package (17" wheels, Xenon headlights, dynamic stability control)
- Limited Slip Differential
- Harmon Kardon stereo and speakers
- White mirror caps (this wasn't an option at the time for cabrios -- OEM parts installed post purchase)
- Non-smoking owners
- Up-to-date on all preventative maintenance (receipts for all work)
- Tires with low miles (under 3,500)
- Oil and brake fluid just changed this week, along with new safety inspection
- Wired for PIAA fog lamps with switch on the steering column.

The Bad:
- A few dents and dings -- photos above
- Tear in driver's seat fabric -- photo above
- Weather stripping around fabric top cracking -- photo above -- No leaks caused
- One accident: HS student (my wife was a teacher) clipped the front end in a parking lot. I replaced the front bumper cover, but hood is slightly misaligned, and there is still a chip in the chrome grill. Photos above.
- Wheels are all curbed to some degree
- Back-up sensor no longer goes off (honestly, I consider this a plus)

History of Major Service:
- Replace clutch throw-out bearing -- done under warranty at dealership -- 40,000 miles
- Replace passenger airbag deactivation sensor (for children) -- done under warranty at dealership -- 40,000 miles
- Replace thermostat and housing, engine cooling fan, and crankshaft sensor o-ring -- 53,000 miles
- Replace power steering cooling fan and valve cover gasket -- 67,300 miles
- New tires -- 78,100 miles
