Mini Cooper S (2004)
for sale

Price: US $1.00

Description:

This sweet car is being relisted due to TWO de@dbe@t bidders. The first one placed a winning bid 5 hours before auction end, then contacting me that she didn't want it because it has too many miles. She never talked to me other than to email that she decided not to buy it, and she never saw the car. The second time around, the high bidder emailed me that his wife doesn't want a Mini, two hours before he was supposed to be at our house to pick it up - 5 days after auction end. This after having bid on both auctions and winning the second one! Once again, they never saw or drove the car, or spoke to me in person.
Having said all that, let me clear any confusion: We have a MINI for sale. That is what you are bidding on. It has roughly 158k miles.
Now that I have that out of my system, let's try this again!...
I am selling my in-law's 2004 Mini Cooper S for them. I'm not going to tell you it's LIKE NEW or IN PERFECT CONDITION, because it's not. It is, however, probably one of the cleanest and well kept 13 year old Minis in the area.
My in-laws purchased it in 2006 with 42k miles and have owned it since, keeping immaculate records over the past 11 years - besides a stack of receipts, you'll notice the hand-written note book with entries for every single service since they bought it. It has been my mother-in-law's car from day one of their ownership, and from the pictures I'm sure you can tell it was her baby.
As I mentioned, it's not perfect. There is some wear on the driver's seat from entry/exit, but otherwise the interior is in great shape. Being a California car, the exterior is starting to show some slight fading on the plastic parts. It otherwise shines nicely and cleans up very well.
Everything works on this car - sunroof, cold a/c, power windows, etc. There are no warning lights on the dash, no fluid leaks underneath, or funky smells. It has not been smoked in. It includes nearly new tires, the original tire repair kit and compressor, both keys and a clean and clear title.
It runs great and is a blast to drive. They just recently spent over $900 on the fuel system, including a new fuel filter and fuel pump, and I wouldn't hesitate to drive it across the country.
They have spared no expense over the past 11 years of ownership in keeping it in top mechanical condition - as evidenced by the stack of service and maintenance receipts. You are getting a much loved and cared for vehicle that is ready to just be driven and enjoyed.
I will accept a $500 deposit via PayPal at auction end, however the balance will need to be paid in full, in cash only.
I have the car at my home in Loma Linda. Please contact me if you have any questions or would like to take it to your mechanic for an inspection - before the end of the auction. There is no warranty expressed or implied. You are buying the vehicle completely AS-IS. If you are the winning bidder when the auction is over, you own it!
Thanks!
Scott
