2009 Mini Cooper Base Hatchback 2-door 1.6l on 2040-cars
Kissimmee, Florida, United States
|
This listing is for a 2009 Mini Cooper Base 1.6L, this vehicle has approximately 64000 miles. My wife and I bought this vehicle for our daughter from a seller in Clearwater, Florida on March 2013. Shortly after purchasing the car, I discovered the thermostat on the vehicle had a small leak causing the engine to overheat. The vehicle was towed to the dealership and it was suggested that I replace the engine. I contacted the seller who happens to be a mechanic for Mini of Tampa who agreed to do the headgasket job on the car. The head cylinder was skimmed and head gasket was replaced. The car rode fine until suddenly now I am having a misfiring issue. I have avoided driving the car to avoid further damage.
I have not had a diagnostic check done on the vehicle. There is no check engine light on the dash. After the headgasket job was done, I replaced the following: I bought a brand new key and had it programmed. I changed the rear brake pads, I purchased the front ones but I did not install them due the ones on the vehicle have plenty of life left. I will provide the brake pads for the front. I purchased 4 brand new tires. The water pump, pipe, and thermostat were replaced with the updated version since this was a known problem with Mini. The coils and spark plugs were replaced. I also purchased a refurbished valvetronic actuator since it was recommended by the dealership. The windows on the car were also tinted. I originally purchased the car for $10,000 but have invested $3000 in repairs. Once the car started to misfire, my wife and I decided to let the car go to someone knowledgeable with vehicle repairs. The interior of this vehicle is in excellent shape. There are no stains, tears, or rips. The car has never been smoked in. The roof does need to be painted, overall the car looks in great shape. The carfax shows there was a minor accident when it belonged to the first owner. I am the 3rd. This car is for sale locally. Please contact me if you have any questions. Buyer is responsible for checking the vehicle prior to purchase. I have disclosed everything wrong with this vehicle. I prefer to have a buyer who is local in the area that can inspect the vehicle prior to purchase. This is a cash transaction. |

Judge to approve settlement of Mini CVT lawsuits
Sun, 25 Aug 2013BMW has agreed to settle a number of class-action lawsuits out of court. The suits stem from drivetrain issues on the 2001 to 2006 R50 Mini Cooper - in particular, its continuously variable transmission. The transmission was known to fail, often without warning on otherwise healthy and well-maintained vehicles. This wasn't the only major issue to afflict the original BMW-era Mini models.
According to legal site Topclassactions.com, the suits alleged that BMW knowingly hid the defects in the CVT from customers while informing dealers of the issue. The first suit was filed in 2011, while four additional suits have followed. Now, BMW has reportedly settled, offering to reimburse 1,200 owners that needed repairs within eight years or 150,000 miles of their purchase. Repair prices for the transmission range from $6,000 to $9,000.
Under the agreement, BMW will also offer up to $4,100 to members of the suit that had fixes performed at a third-party shop, while owners who sold their cars at a loss due to the issues are slated to receive up to $2,000. Finally, owners who are part of the suit will be warrantied for a further eight years and 150,000 miles.
Sorting through the rat's nest that is Mini's model history
Sat, 13 Apr 2013What do Austin, Morris, British Motor Corporation, British Motor Holdings, British Leyland, Rover Group, and BMW all have in common? Each company has had a hand in bringing the world a sprightly, fuel-efficient, front-wheel-drive fun box on wheels - the Mini.
The Sir Alec Issigonis-designed car has been sold under more brand names and with more model designations than most of us would guess. For seven generations of the classic Mini, from 1959 to 2000, the car carried a bewildering number of model names as well. (Note that's even before BMW took over the nameplate, and starting building cars styled as "MINI" rather than "Mini" in 2001.)
As is its want, Hemmings Daily has taken the time to break down the complex lineage of the car, with a kind of model etymology that makes for a pretty entertaining read. Click over to the site to give it a go; but check out our gallery of classic Mini pictures before you jump.
Mini prepping new John Cooper Works convertible
Sat, Jan 17 2015Those enamored by a Mini's spritely handling and retro styling but looking for that extra performance edge have had a succession of John Cooper Works models to choose from, straight through to the latest version unveiled this week in Detroit. And now, Mini appears to be preparing a JCW version of the new convertible. Spied undergoing cold-weather testing in Scandinavia, this Mini prototype appears to be wearing the tell-tale signs of a JCW model, combined with the folding fabric roof of the convertible model. Mini has yet to reveal the convertible version of the latest, third-generation Cooper, but while we're expecting it to take a similar approach to the outgoing model – with four seats and a soft top stacking up in the back when open – there's always the chance that, with the demise of the two-seat Roadster model, the roof on the new cabrio will fold more flush with the rear deck. Since this prototype, like the previous one we saw over a year ago on a flat-bed truck, has its roof up, it's impossible to say at this point. What we can see is that this prototype, though decked out in swirly camouflage, is wearing the upgraded body kit of the new JCW hatch, including the flared wheel arches, big air vents and dual central exhaust tips. The wheels, though wearing snow tires appropriate to the climate, fill those flared fenders well, and are in turn packed with what look like pretty big brakes. Expect the 2.0-liter turbo four to pack the same 228 horsepower and 236 pound-feet of torque as the hardtop version, only with the added thrill of wind in your hair. Of course, if Mini is indeed preparing to launch a JCW version of the new convertible, there's nothing to say it won't do the same with the four-door Hardtop, the upcoming Clubman wagon or any other body-style in the new range.
