CONDITION & SERVICE

This car has been ENTHUSIASTICALLY and PROFESSIONALLY maintained and owned. It is a BRAND NEW car for all purposes so maintenance has been a non event so far other than check ups and oil. I would like to go into every aspect of the car, ut in reading below, t will get dully repetitive because the answer to all questions is "It is perfect as it left the factory!" No chips, ings, cratches, ear or any other excuse.

Let's start on the engine and drivetrain:

-ENGINE

Starts right up, o issues, o check engine lights - ZERO stories. But let's chat about that engine for a second. What an engine it is! GOBS of power - a tame kitten around town, TIGER with a heavy right foot. The 189hp feels not a hp shy and feels spry because of its low weight. The car springs to occasion if you give it the opportunity.

-TRANSMISSION

Shifts are smooth and effortless. No issues and great clutch from being driven by a mature adult.

Lets move to the suspension and brakes:

-BRAKES

Babied and near new brake pads in the front and rear - loads of pad life!

-SUSPENSION

The shocks dampen the ride wonderfully and control the springs perfectly. No clunks, angs, oises or knocks. They are tight in corners, ut yet supple around town! The dynamic controls work perfectly.

-STEERING

The steering is tight and has no excess play. It has a nice medium weight to it, ith great road feel!

-CHASSIS

This is another incredibly surprising and wonderful part of the Mini that few people may discuss. The chassis, r structure/backbones of the car, re critical to a good handling car. But too tight and the noise and harshness will be too much. Too soft and the car will not handle well. Whoever designed the Mini deserves an award. It is WAY more comfortable around town than any BMW, ut yet tight that when hustled feels confident and tight. I was stunned by just how good this chassis is! Its communicative, orgiving, omfortable and tight all in one! Its a car lovers dream!

Let's continue to the exterior:

-PAINT

The paint is perfect! It is a 10 out of 10, nd I do not throw that around EVER. 10 out of 10, s it left the factory and perfect. No scrapes even on the underside of the chin spoiler. No dings, hips, r any other flaws. Perfect. Shiny, eautiful Black paint was recently polished, inished and waxed by a highly acclaimed detailer here in LA. It looks FANTASTIC. CLEAN and CLEAR CarFax. NO ACCIDENTS. This is a dry SoCal car! That means no rust lurking under the surface ready to pop up and ruin your paint! If there was a place to buy ANY car, t is dry, arm SoCal. No rain and no road salt!

-WHEELS

The wheels are in stunning shape with not a flaw or curb mark on them

-TIRES

Tires have 95%+ life remaining and ready to go countless thousands of miles! No leaks, o issues!

-GLASS

Not to let a pebble defeat this car, he windshield and glass are great shape!

Onto the cabin:

-SEATS

The seats are fantastic!!! They are incredibly supportive with zero foam wear. The leatherette is SO soft and comfortable and will wear nicer and with more durability then leather. I truly love driving this car. You sit bolstered comfortably and in wonderful seating position in these buttery soft seats! The interior has been recently cleaned and conditioned as well! Again... factory perfect interior.

-HEADLINER

Beautiful and clean! No issues!

-CARPET

Beautiful carpet in the car! It has been cleaned as part of the overall detail. VERY nice, ear flawless! Check the floor mats - not even a heel mark! Even the brushed sill guards still have their original blue tinted plastic protector on them!

-RADIO/CD CHANGER

OEM radio sounds fantastic - deep, ich sound with clear lows and well defined highs. The 6 speaker system allows you to hear parts of your favorite songs you never even noticed before!

-AC/HEAT/HVAC Panel

AC is ice cold and Heat is earth core hot!

-STEERING WHEEL

The leather is with out a flaw and shaped beautifully for around town and spirited driving!

-KEYLESS ENTRY

Remote keyless entry arms the alarm with a press of a button!

-CARGO AREA

Beautiful, ssentially unused trunk with the optional trunk carpet looks beautiful!

That said, or those of you that enjoy cars, ut aren't looking for something to become deeply involved in the driving experience, ear not - this car is a wonderful, asual, reat place to spend time. Easy to drive and otherwise a beautiful luxury car! For those of you who are looking to take that next step in the driving experience, O NOT IGNORE THIS CAR! This is the car to go head to head with ay modern sports car. Don't spend big money on a car from a "turn-em-and-burn-em" style dealer when all they do to promote the car is say a few things they think people like to hear. As you may tell from my ad, know cars and what they need and the details that make them tier 1, rom a tier 2 or worse and I hope to have addressed them to those of you that know as well.
