2003 Mini Cooper - Solid Gold - Automatic - Low Miles - Loaded on 2040-cars
Northfield, New Jersey, United States
I am selling my 2003 MINI Cooper. I am the original (non-smoking) owner - I custom ordered it in 2003. It's in excellent condition (the rear seats have accommodated maybe 2 rear ends over the life of the vehicle) with only (approx.) 60,250 miles and it has been garage-housed. It's Solid Gold with Black Leatherette Seats and Anthracite Dash with Automatic CVT transmission. It has checkered mirror caps currently, though the MINI originally had black mirror caps which will be included in the sale. Also, the gas door is chrome which was only available on 'S' models at the time, but I switched it for the chrome. Please see the picture of the window sticker for full option details but it has the three main packages available at the time of order...Premium, Cold Weather, and Sport, which include... Panoramic sunroof Automatic climate control Heated seats Heated wiper jets and heated mirrors Front and rear fog lights (some Coopers have missing toggles in the row of toggles in the dash - this has all the toggles - no wondering "hmm, I wonder what option I COULD have gotten that would fill that unsightly empty spot") Dynamic Stability Control Sport seats Auto-dimming rear view mirror Rain sensing wipers Cruise control Add-on cup holder to accommodate larger cups and bottles Aux-input - there's an aux 1/8" audio input in the glove box if you prefer to directly connect audio Also, I have added a GROM Bluetooth module which allows for bluetooth phone use and streaming bluetooth audio through the built-in radio, as well as supplying a usb port for charging your phone, and an additional 1/8" aux input. Drives just fine and regularly serviced with no mechanical issues. Two keys, a valet key, and original manuals all included. If you are looking for a well-maintained, option-loaded preowned vehicle with low mileage, this is the car for you. Buy from a dealer and you have no idea what you're getting. I have a complete maintenance history available, and all service was done at my MINI dealership. Brake pads, rotors and sensors were replaced in January of 2012 at 47,400 miles Brake fluid was last done in Dec. of 2012 at 55,800 miles Oil service was last done in January of 2013 at 56,300 miles. Only synthetic oil has been used. Battery was just replaced this week. The auto check report lists a possible lien on the car, however I have the title in hand and the auto loan was fully paid off in 2009. I've included the KBB and Edmunds value for your reference. Note that the Edmunds value did not have an option for automatic transmission in their calculator. I am not interested in trades or selling at a "wholesale" price. I'm selling only because we have a new MINI in the driveway. The MINI is parked in Northfield, NJ at the corner of Banning Avenue and New Road if you want to stop by and inspect it in person. I strongly encourage all bidders to inspect the car in person before bidding. |

2014 Mini John Cooper Works Countryman All4
Fri, 11 Apr 2014The standard Mini Countryman is a bit of an odd duck against the backdrop of 'normal' small crossovers like the Mazda CX-5 and the Ford Escape, but I sort of get it. Apply the same winning Mini formula to a CUV, and you get a smaller-than-average entry in the segment, one that is far more entertaining to drive than the norm, more stylish inside and out and pretty expensive when cross-shopped. That list of qualities doesn't appeal to all crossover shoppers, sure, but it intrigues a big enough list that the Countryman has reason for being.
Now, add the expensive John Cooper Works package to the Countryman's already niche goodies list, and Mini starts to lose me. So, I'm getting the softer suspended, taller, generally less dynamically joyful version of the brand's core values, but now you're charging me at least $35,000 ($13k more expensive than the basic, front-drive Cooper Countryman and $7k more than the MSRP of the Cooper S All4 version)? What's that? You're going to make it look like a garish, tippy-toed tuner car in the process? Take my money.
Or, actually, let me keep it. I can swing with a lot of the weirdness that Mini has to offer, but this car pushed me past my limit.
Mini fesses up to Countryman clutch issue, plans fix
Sat, 10 Nov 2012Aside from the general lack of snow in the Midwest earlier this year that hampered our ability to properly play with our Blizzak-equipped Mini Contryman long-term test vehicle, the biggest problem we had with this crossover during the year we spent with it was the transmission. On four different monthly updates (September, October, November and June), all in the hands of different Autoblog editors, the Countryman's clutch was called out for being too finicky, leading to many stall outs. Apparently, we weren't alone in our assessment of the Countryman's clutch woes.
According to MotoringFile, Mini has updated the Countryman with a different clutch material and improved software. This much-needed change is being implemented starting this month, but Mini hasn't said what it is doing about existing 2011 and 2012 Countryman models that are afflicted with this problem.
Head over to MotoringFile to see the full official statement from Mini USA on this issue.
