Vehicle Detail

Owner History - Current owner is the second owner, both owners were non-smokers and did not own pets. Title is clean and clear (new DC title received when we moved one year ago, see picture). Transmission Condition - Currently runs (we still drive around town regularly) but needs transmission replaced - early model Mini's had issues with CVT transmissions, it's a known issue that led to a class-action lawsuit levied against BMW and very few mechanics will try to rebuild and suggest complete replacement. Transmission issues started ~9 months ago with "jerky" acceleration/deceleration, currently runs louder than normal with a faint "knocking" and "whirring". I took it to a dedicated transmission shop 2 months ago and got the bad news that it definitely is the transmission, but nobody could say how long it might last as-is. Other Mechanical Condition - Brand new radiator and hoses. Cold A/C, no problems with heat and A/C. Belt has begun to squeak on initial takeoff; Driver window needs motor replaced (won't roll down); Driver door handle/lock interaction needs work (opens after unlock, but need to push a little harder than normal to open). Oil filter will need replaced at next oil change. External Cosmetic Condition - Small (~half-dollar-sized) paint chip on passenger side; Clear protection on two racing stripes on hood are peeling; 4-inch crack on rear bumper (picture); One rear brake light is out; No rust, overall looks good for 10yr-old vehicle. Internal Cosmetic Conditions - Current and prior owners non-smokers; All Leather interior, very good condition, slight wear on the side of the driver side seat. Shipping and Payment - Vehicle is located in Washington DC and will need to be picked up by buyer (i.e. we will not deliver the vehicle). Payment can be made via check, money order, paypal.
