Sounding like a broken record about how many resell-able trade-ins I'm currently getting but this one has a nice story to it.
A son reached out for his mum that had this in the shed requiring a reasonable sized 'retail' job and instead of spending the money to fix the 2008 Manual she had owned since new, they both decided the smart thing to do was trade into the 2009 Automatic (with a touch less km's) I had in stock and see it out for the rest of the days with that.
Now whilst the job was handled easy in house here, I can certainly see the sense to their motivation and here we are with yet another Mini for le. A ONE Owner from new, delivered at Adelaide BMW and then serviced for it's remaining life at Silvers Auto Centre on Gilbert St. It still has its Factory TWO keys accompanying the full owners manuals.
There was an amount of reconditioning required on this car, but just items that were due and indeed we attended to them, of course within reason to age and kilometres of the vehicle. However, the Exterior Sparkling Silver Duco still presents well for a vehicle of its age and the Interior is as good as others I've seen with less kilometres.
If you know a Mini - you know a Mini, theyre a quirky little drive, but they let you feel everything, emotions included for most that end up buying these. Theyre not a comfortable plush ride but a thrill and a wind back to more basic times, and people just eat that up.
Being a Chilli Pack there were a few extras that came from factory, in fact, there was a 67-page option booklet and another 17-page Works brochure of performance add-ons to wade through when purchasing it new in the showroom. The bottom line is this: if every buyer carefully tailors each MINI to their particular taste and needs, the chances of finding another one exactly the me are low.
True, comparing to the S option, it is not the sharpest chisel in the rack with only 88kW and 160Nm, but its BMW pedigree, eager linear response, superb manual gearshift, sharp steering and darty handling are entirely consistent with the presentation.
