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. |

Mini prices new Cooper Hardtop from $19,950* as configurator comes online
Thu, 30 Jan 2014As surprised as the face of the new 2014 Mini Cooper makes the model look, customers shopping for the third-gen hatchback won't be surprised at all come spring. When the Hardtop goes on sale, it will not only offer a similar design to the outgoing model, it will also have a familiar price with a starting MSRP of $19,950 (*plus $795 for destination).
That price is for the base, third-generation model with the company's new 134-horsepower, 1.5-liter three-cylinder turbocharged engine, and that MSRP amounts to a $250 increase over the 2013 Cooper. Looking for a little more power? The 189-hp Cooper S will go on sale at the same time, starting at $23,600 - just $300 more than last year's model.
Mini's press release discussing 2014 Cooper pricing is posted below, but for more detailed information on the options and packages, head on over to the live configurator.
First Mini John Cooper Works prototype spied
Fri, 14 Feb 2014The highlight of Mini's 2014 Detroit Auto Show stand was the arrival of the John Cooper Works Concept, a sportier version of the three-door hatch that presages the next JCW model on the new platform. Now, we have our first images of the production car undergoing winter testing way up north in Sweden.
Really, the Mini camouflage can't hide what this car is. Between the JCW-branded brake calipers and extra intakes in the front fascia, it's fairly easy to see that this is the sportier version of the car our own Jeremy Korzeniewski wrote about last week. We're expecting the JCW variant to pack a fair bit more firepower than the three-cylinder Cooper he tested, of course. Rumors have circulated that the hottest Mini model could jump to 230 horsepower, up from the current, non-GP car's 208.
There are a number of style features missing here, and while it's entirely possible we'll see things like the JCW Concept's diffuser and side gills arrive when this car is shown in production form (or even further along in testing), their absence in these spy photos is telling. We certainly think this car will become the production JCW Hardtop, but there may be another explanation. The lack of certain aesthetic features means this could be a test of the JCW Engine Kit, which in past Minis slotted in between the standard Mini Cooper S and the factory Works car. We'll admit, it's a long-shot, but there is precedent for it - the JCW Tuning Kit arrived a year before the factory model in the last-generation car. The same reasoning could be used to explain the presence of the JCW-branded brakes, which have been another well-known Mini accessory over the years.
Mini expands All4 to non-turbo Countryman, Paceman models
Tue, 04 Jun 2013Mini is giving buyers the chance to sink their teeth into all-wheel drive on more models than ever. The automaker has announced the Coper Countryman and Paceman can now be had with the company's All4 all-wheel drive system. Previously, the option was only available on turbocharged Cooper S and John Cooper Works versions of the high-riding Minis. Buyers will be able to chose between the standard six-speed manual transmission and an optional six-speed automatic gearbox, and Mini says the naturally aspirated Cooper Countryman All4 can pull to 60 miles per hour in a languid 11.9 seconds when powered by a 122-horsepoer 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine.
We suppose what it lacks in speed it makes up for in determination. Likewise, the Cooper Paceman All4 does the deed in 11.8 seconds, though automatic models are somewhat quicker. Check out the full press release below for more information. Mini hasn't announced pricing for its new, less-powerful All4 models just yet.
