2005 Mini Cooper! No Reserve!!!!

This is a 2005 Mini Cooper. It has 129,213 miles on it. It is a very fun car to drive as it has the 5 speed manual transmission. This car is not perfect and needs some work, but it is going to make someone very happy. And if you know how to work on a Mini this car will be for you!

I tried to take pictures of everything. The car is blue in color, leather two tone interior and a very large power sunroof. Power windows, power locks, air bags and air conditioning. And up until recently it never had a problem. Also it is NOT the turbo S version.

I have some some issues with the driver's side door. The window mechanism is messed up. A mechanic put two vise grips on to hold the window in place. Obviously in the up position. He said the pulley system needed work. The side panel is also coming off. I am sorry I know very little about car mechanics and just trying to be as honest as possible.

The heater also does not work. There are issues with the coil and there was a leak. A mechanic stopped the leak but there is no longer heat.

Because I have not driven the car in a while the battery was dead. I had AAA charge it but they said (while it is holding a charge now) it will need a new battery.

The major issue with the car is the engine has what I have been told has a blown gasket. I was driving the car to work and it started to overheat. I called AAA and they loaded the car on their flatbed and brought it back to the garage. I was told that a gasket blew and radiator fluid leaked into the engine oil. He said it would take a lot of labor to fix.

There may be other small issues with the car as it is used and obviously being sold as is. The car runs now but it will overheat fairly quickly. Again the car needs work.

I am now packing up for college and my Dad said to just sell it on eBay to the highest bidder. If you know how to fix cars I think this would be a great project. If you don't work on them yourself than this may not be the best car for you. But like I said, this car was a blast to drive. I was going to get another one but there is not a Mini dealer in Maine.

I should also mention I purchased the car in Texas. Not in Maine. So the body is in great shape. I drove it up to Maine last year.

NOTES: PLEASE READ.

1.) I will do my best to answer any questions but I do not know much about car mechanics.

2.) The car is being sold "as-is". I have tried to be honest but I can only repeat what I have been told by others mechanics as to the issues with the car. The current issues may be easy to fix or major repairs. I simply do not know. This is a project car.

3.) You will NOT want to drive the car away as it will overheat. It will need to be towed or picked up with a flatbed. This obviously means I am also not able to meet anybody to deliver the car. It will have to be picked up at my parking garage in Portland, Maine. I have the clear title. There are no plates on the car.

4.) The winner buyer MUST pay by with CASH or BANK CHECK at time of pick up. We can also accept PayPal for any portion of the purchase price.

5.) The car must be paid for and picked up before August 1st as I am leaving to college. That is why it is only a 5 day auction. You can pick it up at my parking garage in Portland, Maine.

This car IS being sold to the highest bidder with NO reserve. It much be sold and picked up by August 1st!!

Thanks and Good Luck!

BMW profit of $2.7B is down as automaker invests to keep luxury lead

Fri, 02 Aug 2013

Despite selling 6.6-percent more vehicles - a record by volume - and posting higher revenues in the second quarter of 2013, BMW Group's profit of 2.07 million euros ($2.75 billion) is down 8.8 percent from last year. Investments in new technology (e.g. the new i3) and personnel, in addition to a competitive market, are to blame, BMW states. But the automaker remains committed to its fiscal targets for 2013, which, Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW AG, Norbert Reithofer, says will be "on a similar scale to 2012."
The BMW brand's sales performance in the first half of the year, which increased by 7.7 percent to 804,258 vehicles delivered, was good enough for it to maintain its lead in the luxury market, narrowly beating Audi, which delivered 780,510 vehicles, Automotive News reports. Mercedes-Benz delivered 694,433 vehicles to cement third place.

Mini fesses up to Countryman clutch issue, plans fix

Sat, 10 Nov 2012

Aside 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.

Mini Art Beat is a loud, driving social media billboard

Sat, 10 Aug 2013

Video billboards are nothing new, but a video on a moving car that's blaring music? Now that's something that will catch your attention - especially if you're driving alongside it in the streets of London.
That's the exact intent of Mini's new Art Beat, a Cooper Countryman turned marketing device that is custom-fitted with a staggering 48,000 LEDs. On its nightly drives through the city, the compact crossover showcases brightly colored videos, graphics and animations contributed by people around the world via social media. The Mini Space Blog describes the Art Beat as the "most vibrant and customizable NOT NORMAL ride you'll ever lay eyes on."
