I’m putting up for sale my 2008 “Blue Bandit” Cooper S. Our family of 4 is getting too lanky for the back seat, so we’re upgrading to something boring (bigger.) I haven’t had her for too long, and I originally had no intentions of ever selling it, and the recent maintenance and add-ons certainly reflect that.


Recent work in past 2-8k miles:
• New clutch and flywheel (76k)
• Oil Change with OEM 5W-30 (82k)
• Replaced Timing Chain Tensioner (82k)
• Intake carbon cleaning (walnut shells) (79k)
• Coolant system flushed (77k)
• Cleaned K&N Air Filter (83k)
• New Battery (81k)
• Replaced Valve Cover Gasket (77k)
• Repaired Rear Defogger Lines (80k)

Other additions by me:
• Audio System Upgrade
o Polk Audio DB691 6x9 in rear
o Polk Audio DB351 in front
o Polk Audio DB6501 in front
o Alpine KTP-445U amp to all 4 channels
o Wired for subwoofer in hatch
• All-weather mats for front seats
• A-pillars with tweeter pods (not installed)
• New Mini Badge on Hatch
• Cravenspeed Smartphone Fixie XXL

Other add-ons by previous owner(s):
• Quad driving lights on grille
• Flat black exterior trim on hood scoop/light rings
• K&N Typhoon Air Intake System

Basic info/Factory Options:
• 6-Speed Manual Trans
• 84,XXX miles (daily driver, will accrue until sold or new car arrives)
• Lightning Blue Metallic
• Cold Weather Package
• Rain Sensing Wipers
• Comfort Access/Start
• Xenon Lights
• Front and Rear Fog Lights
• Limited Slip Differential
• Bluetooth (Phone)
• USB/Aux in
• 2 Key Fobs
• All owners manuals/booklets

As you can see, I poured a lot of work and maintenance into the car because I wanted to keep it for a long time. But, the next thing for us is to go bori…ahem, bigger.

Blue Bandit is well-maintained and overall very clean. I have all records and receipts since original owner. I have the Carfax from May 25, 2016 attached.

Obvious disclaimer: she is used and that means not “2016-showroom condition”. There are a few parking lot dings (one on hood, one above rear pass tire, one on rear bumper) and rock chips from navigating Brooklyn traffic from the previous owners and Baltimore/DC traffic with me. The left thigh support on the driver’s seat is wearing/cracking. The driver's side sill plate is missing. All these flaws are from the previous owner, so I can’t share any nifty stories about them. They’re nothing major, but I hate to show up to see a car and not know about flaws. The paint shines bright and the interior is kept clean. I wash her once a week, at a minimum.

All told, the next owner is getting a peach.

Located near Annapolis, MD.

Open to offers.
