I was curious to see if I can find MINI Countryman on local craigslist listing, and there is one. It's Absolute Black 2011 MINI Cooper S Countryman All4 with only 25 miles with asking price of $35,995. While the location is for Portland, Oregon, it somehow found its way to Los Angeles Westside-Southbay section of craigslist. The name of dealer is "Northwest Investment Cars" and they seem to have a quite a selection of rare and everyday cars. I am sure the dealership started as a brokerage for rare cars and evolved into current state with such name as NW Investment Cars? I have no idea how a brand new car with 25 miles is now tagged as an 'used car' and landed there.
As for the car, it seems to have premium package, convenience package, cold weather package, steptronic, gravity polar beige leather, piano black cockpit surface, and xenon,. MSRP at $35,500 and maybe a few more. So asking price of $35,995 is basically for a new car MSRP (and it is new at 25 miles!) If you happen to want this Countryman All4, however, just make sure you negotiate and get a chuck off.. otherwise, I'd rather just buy new from MINI dealership.

Great find, Aaron! An excellent option for someone who wants a CM4 with automatic and doesn't mind the other included options (like sunroof) - since you can't order a 2011 with automatic.

Hey George! Enjoying your CM?
ReplyDeleteBTW, yes, actually on a second thought, you are right! Absolute Black, Polar Beige CM All4 with automatic trans won't be an easy find these days with supply shortage. This one being basically a new car, it could find a good home!
About 2000 miles so far with few issues. I bounce down the road on the RFs and experienced the stuttering once so far (bad). I enjoy the xenons, pep, maneuverability, size, and engagement as a driver (good). Lack of engine braking may turn out to be an issue. Heading to Montana over labor day to really test it out. How's your ride?
