IT PASSES SMOG.
This MINI has been a daily driver since purchased from the original owner in 2006. The car has routinely outperformed the driver on the track and has been meticulously maintained. For an 13 year old car the paint is near perfect and has been very well cared for with Griot's Garage products. The car has been garaged its whole life up until a few months ago.

Recent Maintenance completed in the last 1,500 miles:
-A/C Condenser Clutch repaired. A/C works great and blows cold the way you want it to for summer.
-Driver side window regulator/motor repaired.
-Oil Change completed.
-Driver side front wheel hub/bearing replaced with quality Timken unit and race lug studs installed with Loctite, everything torqued to spec per factory manuals.
-Rear hatch struts replaced as they were beginning to sag.
-Taillight bulb replaced.

Other notes:
1) A new OEM -- ENGINE and TRANSMISSION - Short Block Part # 11000430233 was installed @ 100,556 miles (roughly 10,XXX miles on new short block). I have all receipts.
2) The tint installed by the previous owner is showing a few wrinkles
3) Small scuff (quarter sized) on the rear bumper
4) Rock chip on windshield (happened in August and has not spread)
5) Slight tear (2 in.) on driver's seat

Spare parts included for buy it now price only:
-Set of tinted tail lights
-Black aero grill
-Spare tire kit with jack and tools
-Mini Cooper factory car cover

-1 x Spare driver window motor
-1 x Spare Timken front wheel hub/bearing assembly
-4 racing lug studs from Bimmerworld
-2 x Imported Mann Oil Filters
-4 x lug bolt
-spare taillight bulb

Selling due to a new vehicle occupying the garage space and this vehicle now only being driven once a week. This car has about $20,000 in extras and is easily one of the best handling vehicles I've owned and IMO handles better than my previously owned Porsche 911 Turbo, E30 BMW M3, or WRX STI. The steering and turn-in is like no other and this vehicle is ready for the canyons or track. This is not a vehicle for the feint hearted.  Email for more pictures.

2014 Mini Cooper S Paceman [w/video]

Mon, 12 Nov 2012

Not Too Odd, Not Too Maxi. Is This Mini Just Right?
We recently got our first time behind the wheel of the latest iteration of the Mini Countryman, the 215-horsepower John Cooper Works model, and were left less than enthused despite the inherent fun factor that a JCW badge brings. Our time with the crossover suggests the Countryman is just too weighty and soft to properly wear the badge.
We have also spent loads of time in various Mini Clubman trims and, despite the oddity of its configuration, this model may be our overall favorite in the current Mini lineup. But it is decidedly not a volume seller, which Mini needs.

Poor headlights cause 40 cars to miss IIHS Top Safety Pick rating

Mon, Aug 6 2018

Over the past few months, we've noticed a number of cars and SUVs that have come incredibly close to earning one of the IIHS's highest accolades, the Top Safety Pick rating. They have great crash test scores and solid automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning systems. What trips them up is headlights. That got us wondering, how many vehicles are there that are coming up short because they don't have headlights that meet the organization's criteria for an "Acceptable" or "Good" rating. This is a revision made after 2017, a year in which headlights weren't factored in for this specific award. This is also why why some vehicles, such as the Ford F-150, might have had the award last year, but have lost it for this year. We reached out to someone at IIHS to find out. He responded with the following car models. Depending on how you count, a whopping 40 models crash well enough to receive the rating, but don't get it because their headlights are either "Poor" or "Marginal." We say depending on how you count because the IIHS actual counts truck body styles differently, and the Infiniti Q70 is a special case. Apparently the version of the Q70 that has good headlights doesn't have adequate forward collision prevention technology. And the one that has good forward collision tech doesn't have good enough headlights. We've provided the entire list of vehicles below in alphabetical order. Interestingly, it seems the Volkswagen Group is having the most difficulty providing good headlights with its otherwise safe cars. It had the most models on the list at 9 split between Audi and Volkswagen. GM is next in line with 7 models. It is worth noting again that though these vehicles have subpar headlights and don't quite earn Top Safety Pick awards, that doesn't mean they're unsafe. They all score well enough in crash testing and forward collision prevention that they would get the coveted award if the lights were better.

Mini battling sales slump again, is it becoming cliche?

Tue, 11 Nov 2014

Things aren't looking good for Mini this year. The diminutive BMW brand has shown falling sales every month in 2014 in our By the Numbers wrap-ups. If that weren't bad enough, the latest Cooper Hardtop suffered fuel economy issues upon arriving to the US. First, there was a delay getting some versions certified, and then several models had to have their miles-per-gallon ratings revised.
According to Automotive News, the brand's sales are down about 20 percent for the year through October, despite hitting a record 66,502 vehicles in the US for 2013. For their part, Mini execs attribute much of that drop due to constricted supply. However, with the new-generation three-door Cooper finally on sale and the five-door coming at the end of the year, there might be room to bounce back some in the final months of 2014. "We are starting to claw back our way a little bit. It will be an uphill battle," said David Duncan, vice president of Mini of the Americas, to Automotive News. "We will not get back to where we would be even year over year. It should be a lower decrease than it is so far."
AutoTrader Senior Analyst Michelle Krebs reminds Autoblog that external factors aren't helping the brand's sales either. For one, there's "a direct correlation exists between falling gas prices and lower small car sales," she said, and the average price per gallon is now $2.94, according to the US Energy Information Administration. Also, the booming popularity of small crossovers is eating into the compact car market. Mini has its Countryman model, but the trend could be hurting the rest of its lineup. "Mini was fresh, new, unique and stylish, but fashions change and fashion-conscious buyers are fickle. They move on to the next thing," Krebs said.
