After 4 years of ownership it's time to sell my fun weekend car. I bought this 2005 MINI Cooper Base with manual transmission in April 2013 with 135k miles. Currently at 147k. I drove only 3k per year. I'm the second owner. I don't have any records from previous owner. But I have done a lot of work to bring it to my standards.

Reason for selling: car is too small for my family

Asking price: $ 3,900 OBO

- Clean body and interior
- Clean carfax
- Title under my name
- Registration good until March 2018
- OEM 17" wheels are 10/10 (no curb rash) with 20k miles of use
- Michelin tires have 11k miles of use
- No rust (TX car all its life)
- Car looks and drives good. It receives more compliments than my BMW
- Comes with 2 keys, manuals, cloth and rubber mats, spare tire
- No oil leaks of any kind (many gaskets replaced in 2016)
- No warning lights on dashboard
- Good A/C and heater
- I have receipts for all the work done
- My shop is Terry Sayther. If you know him, you know the car is in good hands
- I asked Terry to check the coolant system a couple of times. He said no leaks present
- I have a spreadsheet with more details that I could send to you.

Routine service:
Oil & filter @ 136, 138, 142, and 143.5k
Alignment @ 138, 144 and 146k

Damn. Amazing car. I'd love to pic this up as another fun car to drive but the move has me tapped. And I have a 2010 6 spd.

Thanks, guys. Sadly (or happily) the MINI sold today. The lucky new owner is a female teenager. It will be her first car. :thumbsup
