Description:
My beloved Mini Cooper is up for sale, after being parked/covered/garaged during college semesters (I've always skated or biked around town) and cruised on highway trips to and from school, internships and home. My mother and I bought the car six years and almost 50k miles ago from its first owner, transferred the title to me two years later as I left for college, and I am now eager to sell it and pay off a recent Miata purchase. This car is far more practical, though, a pleasure to drive (has fantastic visibility) and not fast enough to be dangerous. Please email me with any questions, requests for more pictures or service records, offers, etc.
2006 Mini Cooper S:- Odometer: 108, 800 miles (Previous owner: until 59k; Me: 59k until current, where the vast majority are highway miles)- Engine: 1.6 L, supercharged, inline 4-cylinder (168hp stock)- Transmission: 6-speed manual- Remote keyless entry- Tachometer and digital speedometer mounted on steering column- Sport suspension- Folding rear seats (they're creased because I kept them folded and out of the sun to keep the leather from drying out)
From the factory (see photo of dealer specs):- Pure Silver Metallic paint- Panther Black Gravity leather interior- Sport Package (Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), Front Fog Lamps, 17 Alloy Wheels S-Lite, Xenon Headlights with powerwash)- Multifunction steering wheel with cruise control- Universal garage door opener- Dual-pane panoramic sunroof- Power windows- Power mirrors- Rear window defroster- Center armrest- Harman-Kardon sound system
From me:- Full maintenance records since 2011- Auto Armour cover with bag and tethers- 205/45 R17 Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric All-Season tires- Auxiliary cable input to factory sound system- Short carbon fiber replacement antenna- Replacement Mini logo rear emblem (not installed yet to avoid any risk of scratching the hatch)- If you'd like lessons with the manual transmission, I'll gladly and freely provide them after the title is transferred
Mechanical Condition:- no skipped maintenance, 100k milestone jobs completed in January- no issues with clutch action- no issues with engine cooling or cabin A/C and heating- no strange engine sounds
Exterior Condition:-one small, already-filled windshield chip- no rust- minor front bumper chipping due to typical highway driving- no dents, door-dings, etc., from collisions or other impact
Interior Condition:- no marring, rips or scratches on leather seats- headliner droops slightly underneath the sunshades/vanity mirrors and passenger's grab handle- one small hole on the leather handbrake cover- one small dent in lower door sill trim piece- no scratches, dents, etc. on all other interior surfaces
(The Actual Size sticker was there when I bought the car. I can pull it off, but have gotten nothing but positive feedback from friends/family/coworkers and hope you want to keep it on the car!)
