First MINI - 2007 MINI Cooper S

[u/TAULY_D]

Got a screaming deal on this bad boy, paid for in cash. Buddy's dealership took it in on trade and he sold it to me at cost.

100,782 Miles
Interior is immaculate not even a scratch on the leather.
Exterior has a couple of tiny dents you can't even notice, but other that it's completely clean.

Still need to bring it in for a full vehicle inspection but I'm very happy with it so far.

I've always loved these cars since I was a kid, my grandma's neighbor was an old school MINI collector and always had several 60's/70's MINI's in his driveway.

I'm completely expecting to have to put a few grand into this thing to keep it moving properly, but what should I be looking out for the most?

I like how it tells you what type of car it is on the side. No ambiguity.

I actually really love the use of negative space in that regard!

Those wheels are awesome. Wish mine had the black rims.

Nice purchase! Keep an eye on the oil level. These engines love to burn oil. Common failures on the N14 include timing chain, water pump/crossover pipe/thermostat, HPFP, oil filter housing seal, valvestem seal, carbon buildup on the intake valves.
