2007 Mini Cooper S - Maintenance Records Since New & Fully Loaded! on 2040-cars
Morris, Connecticut, United States
|
Introduction: Up for sale is my 2007 Mini Cooper S with 113,000 miles. It has a clean CT title (in hand) and has never been in an accident. I purchased the car in February of 2013 from the original owner who had service records dating back to when the car was brand new. I also have all service records from when I took over ownership at 92,000 miles. The previous owner had purchased the extended maintenance program which covered all regular maintenance on the car up to 100,000 miles. Every service was done in accordance with the maintenance schedule. The car runs strong, has amazing handling and I average 32.4 miles per gallon on mostly back roads. I’m selling it because I purchased a Jeep Wrangler. This is the second Mini Cooper S I have owned, the one prior to this was a 2005 which was also a lot of fun. The exterior is in great shape and the interior looks brand new. It comes with the two original keys and also has the hill start assist feature which makes this very easy to drive for a manual transmission. Below are the standard and additional options according to the original window sticker. Standard Features: * turbo charged, direct injected 1.6l, 16 valve inline 4 cal engine (172hp) * 6 speed manual Getrag transmission * MacPherson strut front suspension w/ multi link rear suspension * Electric, engine-speed-sensitive, power steering * 4 wheel anti lock disc brakes * all season traction control * 6 airbags, including side curtain * 6 way adjustable sport seats w/ driver and passenger height adjustment * anti lock braking system * corner break control * electronic brakeforce distribution * personally adjustable locking and lighting * sport button with increased throttle and steering response (this totally changes how the car drives and doesn’t effect fuel economy) * air conditioning with micro filter and air re-circulation * remote keyless entry * CD audio system with am/fm radio, 6 speakers, presets, aux input * power windows with “one touch” down operation * check control vehicle monitor system with pictogram display * split fold down rear seats * telescoping and height adjustable steering wheel * adjustable ambient lighting (color changing LED lights) * on-board computer * all weather floor mats Additional Options: * chili red paint * grey/carbon black leatherette * cold weather package * heated mirrors and washer jets * heated front seats * premium package * multi-function steering wheel * cruise control * sports leather steering wheel * moonroof (panoramic) * automatic air conditioning * sport package * 17” alloy wheels, crown spoke * dynamic stability control * Xenon headlights * Limited Slip Differential * tire pressure monitor * interior surface piano black * front fog lamps Maintenance Records: The maintenance records are listed below starting with most recent.

The car occasionally has the classic Mini Cooper S timing chain rattle during cold starts until the motor idles for a minute and oil circulates. It has been this way since I purchased the car over 20,000 miles ago and has never given me any problems. From what I can find there is no point in replacing it because people report having the cold start rattle come back soon after. 3. The tires should be replaced before this coming winter. I have not replaced them because the new owner may have a unique tire preference based on the type of driving they do and where they live. I assume the final sale price will reflect this. 4. There is one small acorn dent on the hood and minor rock chips from winter driving Summary: This is a great car and I wouldn’t hesitate to drive it across country tomorrow. Anyone is welcome to come inspect and test drive it before bidding. Please don’t hesitate to ask me any additional questions that you may have. The Kelly Blue Book value ranges from $8,995 for “excellent" to $7,632 for “fair”. Payment must be made via cash or certified bank check. A $300 PayPal deposit is required within 24 hours of the auction ending. It is also for sale locally so the auction may be cancelled if it sells. I can be reached via email or by calling 860-790-0892. If you are the winning bidder please call me within 24 hours of the auction ending. All the best, Rob |

Street Glory Mappers turning cars into dynamic billboards like this
Fri, 04 Jul 2014A French marketing firm with the impenetrable name of Street Glory Mappers is literally turning cars into billboards. Of course, we've all seen vehicles painted up for promotional use, but this company is taking that concept even further by including video.
Street Glory Mappers equips the vehicles with a large video screen behind the windshield to play whatever is being advertised. According to the company's promo, it may even be possibly to sync up the vehicle's lights with the show, as well. The firm claims that it's a great form of temporary, mobile marketing because the car can arrive at the location, play the video and then go away when the prospective audience leaves.
While it doesn't necessarily seem any more effective than other forms of advertising, the firm's idea is at least unobtrusive. After all, it's easier to ignore a stationary car than a person handing out flyers. However, vehicle flashing its lights and playing video could certainly distract other drivers.
Mini Superleggera Vision Concept keeps us hangin' on [w/video]
Fri, 03 Oct 2014Mini's Superleggera Vision Concept may not be a Paris Motor Show debut, but this is the first time we've seen this stunning all-electric roadster in the metal, having been first shown on the tony shores of Lake Como at Villa D'Este in May. While it's small in stature, it's still big on both presence and detail, from its overall stubby yet sleek proportions to its Union Jack taillamps, Jaguar-esque rear fin and elegant rearview mirrors.
We still don't know much more about what powers this Touring Superleggera coachbuilt showcar, as any powertrain specifics are conspicuous by their absence, but we'd welcome both a pure electric version and something powered by the BMW/Mini turbocharged three-cylinder currently making the rounds in the new Mini Cooper.
Last we heard in September, any decisions on a production future for the Superleggera Vision have been tabled, with word being that a further six months of study is planned before Mini decides to greenlight or nix the project. We'd love to tell you that the fact that it's here in Paris is a great sign, but we wouldn't believe us, either.
Mini apologizes with chocolate rose after spamming customer's inbox
Thu, 31 Jan 2013If you're a manufacturer, there are only so many ways you can say "sorry" after your automated e-mail system goes berzerk and spams everyone on your mailing list with hundreds of the same message. Mini recently found itself in that very spot, and rather than respond with a sheepish mea culpa, the company's PR team took a different tack by sending owners a very unique gift box. How unique? Inside, one owner found a set of chocolate roses, a roll of duct tape and a genuine can of Spam.
In an accompanying note, the company said it hoped the sweets would help patch things up between the company and the victims of the e-mail barrage, but in the event that wasn't enough to do the trick, the duct tape was there to help out. And the can of Spam? That tagged along just for stress release. Apparently the canned meat is squeezable. We wouldn't know. You can check out full photos of the gift box here.
