Ekona Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 (edited) Here for sale is our 2009 MINI Cooper S Convertible on 62000 miles with the following spec: Midnight Black metallic paint Red leather and black cloth interior Manual gearbox Fully electric roof in both sunroof and convertible modes Black Star Bullet wheels iPod connection Sport mode (turn on for some fruity noises from the exhaust...!) CD player Rear parking sensors BMW & Specialist Independent service history MOT until June 2016 We're the 3rd owner of this car, purchased from MINI Colchester in July '13. She had 33K on the clock when I picked her up, but looked like a 3K mile car which is what caught our attention in the first place. Since then, she's been used as a daily drive by my wife who is a primary school teacher for the motorway commute, and also for some top-down fun at the weekends. Well, it's too much fun not to borrow the other half's car sometimes! Servicing has been carried out at MINI Rochdale before our ownership, and at MINI Colchester and Braintree Motor Works (our local BMW/MINI specialist). The last service was carried out in June '15, so she won't need anything doing for at least another year. I have also carried out 6 monthly oil changes myself as well, using Mobil 1 oil only. She sits on stunning Black Star Bullet wheels, and the two front tyres are brand new as they were replaced at the recent service. Some Cooper S cars have been known to have chain tensioner issues, and as we noticed the beginning of a slight rattle from that area recently, we had the chain tensioner replaced in June as a precaution. This is a must-have on a car of this year, please check this has been carried out on any car you look at. The car was professionally detailed in November of last year, with a stage 1 paint correction carried out to bring out the very best of the metallic flake in the paint and to remove the vast majority of swirls that are the bane of any black car. The car has been maintained using a combination of Dodo Juice, Swissvax and Envy products, and looks as deep and glossy as you'd hope for. Even the photos uploaded here don't really do the finish justice, when the sun catches it just right the reflection is like a mirror. The car does have finance outstanding on it, and a couple of the wheels could do with a refurb if I'm honest. There are the usual stone chips you expect on a car of this age, however the above maintenance work ensures these are barely visible. The interior is in superb condition, with no rips or tears to the seats at all. We currently have official MINI rubber mats fitted, but we do have the original carpet mats as well which will of course come with the car. As you can tell, we love this car and have spent a lot (both in terms of money and hours) making sure she looks as good as she runs. The only reason for the sale is because my wife has a new job practically within walking distance, and it's not fair to leave a car this good doing nothing during the week. Any inspection is welcome, but test drives only with proof of licence and fully comp insurance please. Any questions or queries welcomed. Thanks for looking Edited August 3, 2015 by Ekona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
