There is a driver's side dent seen in just the right light I'm sure can be recessed and buffed out pretty easily, various clear coat spotting above the trunk from age but that should buff right out.
2 owners, stayed in town daily commute a few miles per day if that. Engine and transmission in great working order, struts seem pretty smooth.
Some mechanical information about her (It's good trust me):
It has had a little harder steering for a few months. It has been said the steering fluid reservoir needs either cleaning or replacement because of the "inability of being cleaned", but overall it steers just fine. It was found there are no leaks on the steering system after all / pump is in working order.
There was a coolant leak noticed from a loose coolant hose clamp due to the radiator not being exactly secured so it was moving forward at traffic lights and leaked. One air leak on a vaccume line also, both repaired and replaced in the past 8 months or so
Oil change, driven 50 miles on or so after, so 2,950 miles left to go for the next oil change.
Not sure how mechanically inclined the reader is but the engine was flushed with ATS 505-CRO, then justice brothers engine metal conditioner was added a few miles after that, along with some AT-205 re-seal just in case of any small leaks. I don't believe many have heard of the JB additive but I must say, it can't hurt because it made an older 2002 6 cylinder vehicle of mine last still to this day like a tank at over 315k miles. So this stuff is the holy grail, better than "Molly". I can also say with much confidence there are no oil leaks, if there even were any (I had not seen any on the road or loss of fluid prior). Preventative maintenance with AT-205.
I found some of these on Scotty Kilmer channel, been using them for many years without problems.
The transmission a year ago or so was originally thought to have had a problem and was fully checked and also refilled with transmission fluid, no leaks at all, except found later from another real mechanic (we were scratching our heads), found that the code that was flashing and making the car not go above 25 miles per hour in a Safe Mode, turned out to only be a tiny leaking vacuum line and that was replaced after, so no more code or issue there.
The alternator is great, reads just over 14V. Spark plugs were checked and they look pretty clean, grey color, unsure how long ago those were put in, maybe 3, 4 years.
Have found that all fuses and relays are in working order, yes they were all tested and looked at.
She starts up and drives very well, and treated so well. No gear slippage what so ever. A new battery from Costco has been installed a few
weeks ago as well from sitting for a few months and is currently unhooked on negative until someone test drives it, I believe lifetime warranty on the battery.
It is for sale for $6,700, a beautiful 2005 Mini Cooper with only 90,200 miles. OBO (Or Best Offer. Or, Best, Offer)
