I am the original owner of this 2009 Mini Cooper S convertible. I purchase the car for my wife as a second car and it has been garage kept since we purchased it new in November 2009. The California Registration is paid for and good through November 2013. The 4 Year/50,000 Mini warranty will expire November 20th 2013 or at 40,000 miles whichever occurs first. The car has been driven less then 3,000 miles per year and is primarily a weekend car to go up and down PCH. It has never been smoked in, eaten in or drank in. The interior is spotless 10 out of 10 .....as if it was off the showroom floor. It shows no signs of wear at all. The exterior is a 9 out of 10. The rear driver wheel has a 1 inch curb rash noted in picture and the hood has a minor pits and scratches that are normal for a car that has been driven. The car has been maintained by South Bay Mini and has received all of its scheduled services. The clutch throwout bearing went bad at 13,000 miles and I had them replace the entire clutch since they had to disassemble it. Mini covered all of the expenses with all new factory parts because a defective part caused the problem. The brakes and tires are in good condition according to the Mini Dealer as of 600 miles ago. It is not schedule for another service until November 2013 or 9,000 miles which ever occurs first.

The car has many options including Bluetooth Cell phone link, iPod/iPad/iPhone interface and cable, heater seats, cruise control, power windows and locks.

We had two complaints about the car. first, the road noise on the car was fairly excessive with the top up and second, the factory stereo system wasn't adequate when the top was down. I brought the car to our local stereo shop and spent $1,000 adding insulation and sound deadening material to the car which quoted the noise down by at least 50%. Secondly, I had them install an Amplifier, new speakers and a small subwoofer. All of the work was professionally done with top of the line equipment and materials. Everything is completely hidden and looks factory stock.

The Amplifier is an Alpine PDX- 5 - $599

The Front Speakers are Boston Acoustics SPZ60 - $1,195

The Sub Woofer is a Kicker 10" Solo Baric L7 - $329

Installation and fabrication - $1,500

Total - 3,623 + tax

The stereo is now just right...not too loud, crisp, clean and loud enough to enjoy when you have the top down.

I have the title in hand and am looking for an easy buyer for a quick and smooth transaction. Kelly Blue Book on this car in Good to Very Good (Not Excellent) condition is $21,400, my reserve price is considerably lower.

Good luck bidding.

Automotive April Fools' joke roundup [w/videos]

Mon, 01 Apr 2013

Happy April, everyone. And we all know what this first day of the month means: April Fools' Day. Today is a national holiday for pranksters with the Internet acting as a serious enabler, and it's always fun to see what kind of vivid imaginations exist out there in the automotive world. The abundance of fake news gets a little old as the day rolls on, but we did manage to get in a few chuckles thanks to a handful of major automakers and automotive news outlets that got into the pranking spirit this year
Some of our favorites this year includes Subaru showing what happens when you combine a bunch of rumors, a Corvette some may have already thought was a joke or Honda providing some in-car innovation circa the late 1980s. Honestly, we're still waiting for official confirmation from Mitsubishi that the recently introduced 2014 Mirage is an elaborate April Fools' joke using a failed design intended for the 1995 Geo Metro. We dug up as much "official" OEM foolishness we could find, as well as some of our other favorites, and posted them all below.

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.

Guerlain Chicherit going for world record for longest car jump

Fri, 14 Mar 2014

Does the name Guerlain Chicherit ring any bells? It definitely should if you're into competitive skiing, as he was crowned world champion in off-trail freeriding four times. But he's also a rally driver, winning the FIA Cross Country Rally World Cup in 2009 and even a stage of the Dakar Rally the following year. What really set him apart, though, was when he back-flipped a Mini Countryman rally car to set a world record last year. And now he's after another.
This time he's going after the world record for the longest ramp jump in a car. The record currently belongs to Tanner Foust at 332 feet, but Chicherit plans to break it by a good thirty more with a targeted distance of 360 feet.
He'll be using the Mini once again, sponsored by Monster Energy and Toyo Tires, and specially modified for the endeavor which he plans to undertake this Sunday under the auspices of Guinness World Record officials. We'll be watching to see how it all goes down.
