2006 Mini Cooper S This auction is for a 2006 Mini Cooper S. It is offered for sale by a private seller in Charleston, West Virginia. Please read the entire description and feel free to ask any specific questions you may have, I'm happy to take calls and emails at any time. This is a neighbor's vehicle, I have listed it on his behalf. I've listed and sold several vehicles of mine over the years and always had a good experience. I'm not a dealer but an enthusiast, it's the only reason I listed this one for him; it has a great story and is a unique piece. I've started the bidding at a low price so everyone has a chance to get in and the reserve is extremely reasonable. Thanks for looking and enjoy the auction. Every car has a story and this one is amazing! This car was purchased from Hendrick MINI in Charlotte, NC on 12/01/2006. The original window sticker is intact. It was then driven to Charleston, WV where it has spent it's entire life in a garage being driven regularly a few miels at a time to keep the fluids and systems in operation. The owner had plans to retire and travel out west in his motor home and tow his Triumph TR6 for some fun driving experiences. Upon further consideration; he decided that constantly repairing a Triumph whilst on the open road might not be a good idea. So, he purchased the Mini; still British (somewhat) and still a fun drive. Needless to say, the recession hit and all plans were off. The motor home was sold and retirement put on hold. The Mini was garaged next to the Triumph and thus is the story. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION EXTERIOR This car's white paint is as glossy as it was the day it rolled off the assembly floor. As I stated earlier, the vehicle has never even been in rain or snow. There is one rock chip on the front passenger side near the headlamp and two small scratches on the front bumper (see pictures) from something bumping it in the garage. Other than that, it's perfect. The glass is all original and in perfect condition. The wheels are in perfect shape. INTERIOR The black leather (yes, real leather, $1,700 option) interior is in perfect condition as well. The rear seats were never sat in and the passenger seat has carried a passenger maybe a total of 20 miles. No scuffs or scratches here either. All controls are functional and operational. Everything is as it should be. ENGINE / TRANSMISSION The engine and transmission are in like new condition. The car starts, runs and drives as it should. With this kind of mileage you are not going to experience any problems here. WHEELS / TIRES The 17" wheels and tires are exactly as nice as they appear in the pictures. The tires are original and obviously, only have 1,600 miles on them. EXTRAS & ADD ONS English Panther Black Leather $1,700.00 Combo #1 $1,400.00 Multifunction Steering Wheel with Cruise Dual-Pane Panoramic Sunroof Automatic Air Conditioning On-Board Computer Combo #2 $1,900.00 Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) Front Fog Lamps 17" Alloy Wheels S-Lite / Performance Run-flat Tires Bonnet Stripes Xenon Headlights with powerwash Limited Slip $500.00 Chrome Line Interior $200.00 Center Armrest $200.00 Harman Kardon Sound System $550.00 PLEASE FEEL FREE TO INQUIRE AS TO THE SPECIFICS OF THE COMBO PACKAGES OR REQUEST A COPY OF THE WINDOW STICKER. That's about all I can say for the car. I wish there were more to tell you but it's just that nice. There's nothing to document damage wise on the car. I have a CARFAX in hand and am willing to email it to anyone who wants a copy. Again, please feel free to call or email with any questions whatsoever. THE DETAILS Please review the entire listing before bidding. Please ask any and all questions before bidding. Please have payment and or financing arranged before bidding. No trades are accepted.

I'm willing to work with anyone on any aspect of the purchase, just ask before so we can get it worked out quick and smooth, my time is limited. Thank you for your time and interest. Good luck.

Poor headlights cause 40 cars to miss IIHS Top Safety Pick rating
Mon, Aug 6 2018Over the past few months, we've noticed a number of cars and SUVs that have come incredibly close to earning one of the IIHS's highest accolades, the Top Safety Pick rating. They have great crash test scores and solid automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning systems. What trips them up is headlights. That got us wondering, how many vehicles are there that are coming up short because they don't have headlights that meet the organization's criteria for an "Acceptable" or "Good" rating. This is a revision made after 2017, a year in which headlights weren't factored in for this specific award. This is also why why some vehicles, such as the Ford F-150, might have had the award last year, but have lost it for this year. We reached out to someone at IIHS to find out. He responded with the following car models. Depending on how you count, a whopping 40 models crash well enough to receive the rating, but don't get it because their headlights are either "Poor" or "Marginal." We say depending on how you count because the IIHS actual counts truck body styles differently, and the Infiniti Q70 is a special case. Apparently the version of the Q70 that has good headlights doesn't have adequate forward collision prevention technology. And the one that has good forward collision tech doesn't have good enough headlights. We've provided the entire list of vehicles below in alphabetical order. Interestingly, it seems the Volkswagen Group is having the most difficulty providing good headlights with its otherwise safe cars. It had the most models on the list at 9 split between Audi and Volkswagen. GM is next in line with 7 models. It is worth noting again that though these vehicles have subpar headlights and don't quite earn Top Safety Pick awards, that doesn't mean they're unsafe. They all score well enough in crash testing and forward collision prevention that they would get the coveted award if the lights were better.
2014 Mini Cooper S
Fri, 27 Jun 2014One of the big challenges as an automotive journalist is reviewing cars that you have a personal connection to. I have a strong passion for Minis. My first new car was a 2004 Cooper S, and I still own a 2006 model. It's this affinity that's left me with a general disdain of the 2007 to 2013 model relative to my first-gen.
The last-generation cars, with their turbocharged engines, softer suspensions, duller steering and homelier looks are, in my mind, inferior to their 2002 to 2006 predecessors. As a car reviewer, though, I couldn't in good conscience argue the same point. The R56, as the last-gen cars were known internally and by enthusiasts, was a better-balanced vehicle that retained the lion's share of the abilities and character of the first-generation, R53 Cooper S, but they were better thought out, better designed, more livable, and felt like more complete products.
Before the third-generation of the reborn Mini Cooper S landed in my driveway, I couldn't help but wonder whether the model would continue its slide towards mass appeal, or if it would re-embrace the enthusiast realm with a stronger driver-focused mission. As I found out during my week with the car, it was a bit of both.
2015 Mini Cooper Hardtop officially revealed
Mon, 18 Nov 2013There are occasions in life when something happens in the outside world and I think, "Damn. I wish Dad was here so we could talk about this."
In the past 13 years, that's happened every time Mini unveils a new model. And that's been quite often in the 12 years since the car was reintroduced - it has expanded to include seven different models, which is a testament to how quickly the updated Mini caught on. My Dad, who passed away in 1996, loved the brand. His first car was a Mini, and he'd race it in illegal rallies around the Irish countryside in his 20s, before he emigrated to the US and tried to (mostly) stay on the right side of the law.
Mini released photos and specs for the third-generation "original" hardtop car today. The company had to slap in the term "original" in there to differentiate it from the Convertible, longer-wheelbase Clubman, Countryman crossover, Paceman three-door crossover, Coupe and Roadster. Coming out with that many nameplates in 13 years is unprecedented growth for a company that's essentially brand-new in the US.
