I thought of it as a toy or gimmick car. Not something that anyone would want to seriously drive. Then after taking it for a couple rides I realized that I had to describe this car in one word, the first word that comes to mind is fun! This little car soon became a shop favorite and it was funny to see two grown men argue over who was going to take the Mini! This car runs and drives like brand new! We have personally driven it over 500 miles in the over two months we’ve had it and it hasn’t skipped a beat. It’s loaded with great features. Power windows Power LocksPower Mirrors Automatic Transmission AM/FM/CD player with a great sound system! Black leather interior with heated seats Panoramic Sunroof - which is awesome with the windows down. Between the slightly high seating position and the wrap around windshield these cars really do give you the sense that you are in a much larger vehicle. BUT they drive and handle almost like a go kart on wheels. I never expected this car to be so much fun to drive. This is the first mini we have had come through the dealership, but after our experience with it, it certainly won’t be the last. This car features one of the best color combinations for the mini. Bright Red with a white roof and black leather interior. This car lived its life in Pennsylvania and has 156k highway miles. Do NOT let the miles fool you on this one, this car is in extremely good mechanical condition. It starts right up as soon as you turn the key. Everything works and there are no check engine lights / stories / mechanical problems or fluid leaks. Alignment is good and it tracks straight and true, and has no vibrations or issues up to 90mph. It rides very smoothly. We just replaced the windshield with a brand new one due to a rock chip incident we had – Told you we drove this car a LOT. The car rides on a matched set of Pirelli Run on flat tires with good tread. The only thing that doesn’t work on this car is the air conditioning. The blower motor works but the air blows warm. We haven’t investigated it further because we always drive it with the roof open and the windows down. It may need a charge of Freon or other repair. Now every used car has some cosmetic flaws however minimal. This particular mini has a couple paint chips on the hood, and a small about 1.5” dent / ding right on the driver’s front wheel arch (half behind the plastic fender flare) It’s barely noticeable and may not really show in pictures but it’s there. There is a few tiny rust bubbles forming at the bottom of the driver’s door (you have to look to see them), and the driver’s door check (the strap that holds the door open) is disconnected inside the door. The leather interior looks almost brand new except for that one of the stitches on the driver’s seat right bolster is starting to fray / come undone. There are no rips or tears in the leather, no burn holes or any other evidence of smoking in the car. The factory owner’s manuals are in place. Overall it’s a VERY nice car especially for the year. I would rate it a 7.5 /10 overall and I’m VERY picky with cars. I tend to be overly critical and under describe cars, but I’d rather you be impressed when you get your new car rather than disappointed due to the unrealistic descriptions that many dealers offer.
