The Good:
This is one FAST MINI. It runs GREAT, I am the original owner, purchased it in March of 2006. I am only selling it because I fell in love with a different car and I placed the order. This is my 2nd MINI and the JCW engine upgrade makes all the difference. This MINI is much faster and the exhaust sounds excellent without being too loud. Unlike the common 15% pulley upgrade, the JCW is a package of components which give the car a much smoother accelleration curve and in my opinion makes it that much more liveable.

Front JCW brakes replaced 4/21 ($600 job at MINI), rears have 50% left.

Service is up to date (other than noted below) and the next service is due in Approx 11,000 miles.


The Bad:
-Summer tires will need replacing soon
-DENT on passenger's front checkmate graphic panel
-A few paint chips (no dents though) on the bonnet, the stripe has a very minor tear in it, and the windshield is original so has the usual chips for this mileage.




If there is any interest.. I'd be happy to take and post pics / videos better purposed for selling...
