2008 Mini Cooper S - 1-owner, Automatic, Dealer Svc'd, Navigation, Cold Wthr Pkg on 2040-cars
San Francisco, California, United States
|
I'm pleased to offer this Lightning Blue 2008 Mini Cooper for sale, on behalf of a close friend of mine who is the original owner. This Mini has always been dealer serviced since new, and all records of maintenance and repairs are included, as well as the two factory keys and the original window sticker. This car has always been garage-kept and driven in temperate west-coast weather. It has only seen snow once or twice, early in its life when the owner still lived in the Seattle area. Full disclosure: I've been in, out and around this vehicle and have mentioned any (minor) flaws below in my condition description. I believe in transparency when it comes to representing a vehicle.
The exterior and interior of this vehicle are in excellent shape. I feel the pictures don't do the car justice. It shines quite nicely in the sun and there are no signs of fading or mismatched paint. All body panels align correctly and are in good nick, straight and clean. There is one door ding on the passenger side, and two dings from road debris on the bonnet. I really can't think of any other flaws. Aside from that, the car shows quite well. The interior is neat and clean as the day it rolled off the showroom floor. This car has never been smoked in and does not have any stains or odor present. The headliner, seats, dash and carpet all look fantastic. The only flaw inside is a 1.5 inch small separation on the seat bottom, which can only be noticed if you're really searching for it. This car runs, drives, steers and stops as it should. There are no warning lights or items that need repair on this car. Push the start button and go. This Mini handles fantastic and tracks straight. I've put about 150 highway miles on the car while storing it. (I like to know the car I'm selling - also its a great excuse to drive this fun car!) This vehicle is well optioned, and includes items such as: Convenience Package -Multi-function leather steering wheel -Universal Garage Opener -Comfort Access System -Auto dimming mirror -Center Armrest -Rain Sensor & Automatic Lights -Bluetooth & USB/iPod Cold Weather Package -Power Folding Mirrors -Heated Mirrors & Washer Jets -Heated Front Seats Navigation System Premium Headliner Chrome Line Exterior Package Anti-theft System Automatic Air Conditioning Fog Lamps Included with the car is a compilation of dealer service receipts, the original window sticker, and two factory smart key/fobs. Other info: The vehicle did have an oil service recently, along with a full detail. It could use a set of tires in the next few months. This vehicle has had an accident in 2011, but was professionally repaired correctly. Receipts of bodywork from the Mini & Insurance-recommended shop are included with the car. The car carries a clean title and there is no evidence of that damage or the repair, but I do like to be up front and honest. As with any used car, there are minor signs of road use. However, this car is in excellent overall shape inside and out. You must see it to truly appreciate it. This car does not carry any factory warranty, and is sold "AS-IS". Please, serious buyers only, as I do not have the time to re-list. Book values dictate this car to be worth $12,361 in "Excellent" condition, $11900 for "Good". Reserve is near KBB value for "Fair" condition, as I'm a motivated seller. Serious local inquiries can call or text me for an appointment to see & drive. (609) 276-9843 The car is located in San Francisco, California, and must be picked up within the Bay Area. I may be able to meet or help deliver the car if you're within the Bay Area, and could pick you up at the airport if need be. Thanks for looking and Happy Bidding! |

This classic electric Mini costs $100,000, but just look at it
Thu, Feb 14 2019We all love the original Mini, so when a British company decided to develop an electric version of it using a restored original body, we took notice. Enter the Swind E Classic Mini. Electric cars are allowed to have a soul, and this one is just as cute as a Mini with a little gas motor. Swind, a UK-based tech and engineering company, didn't just produce a half-baked version of an electric Mini. The powertrain is a bespoke, in-house design developed by the company's own engineers. The body has contemporary corrosion protection to make sure it doesn't rot like an original from the 1960s. Also, new brake and suspension parts ensure it'll feel relatively modern to drive. Don't expect any mind-blowing specs and numbers from the little EV, though. It uses a 24 kWh lithium ion battery pack and the electric motor produces 110 horsepower. Zero to 60 mph is achieved in 9.2 seconds. That's not impressive on today's world, bu is still quicker than this Mini would have been with its original gas engine. Top speed is 80 mph, and range is rated at an impressive 125 miles. That's plenty for this little city runabout — road trips won't be this Mini's job anyway, especially if you have to run it near top speed just to keep up with traffic. Swind says it'll get to a full charge in four hours via its fast charging capability. Weight is kept to only 1,587 pounds, so this will be one of the lightest electric cars on the road. The benefits of modernizing and electrifying the Mini help out in other areas, too. You can check option boxes for an infotainment system with navigation. USB ports come standard, as do heated leather seats. Curiously, air conditioning is an option. If you prefer no power steering, that's possible; performance tuning packs are available, but there's no explanation for what that entails. There's more space in the boot for stuff with the gas tank removed, and weight distribution is improved at a 57/43 split (it was 68/32 originally). Now we move onto the less desirable portion of this Mini: The price. Converted from pounds sterling, this Mini goes for $100,970. You can buy a whole lot of car for that money, or you can have an electric Mini. At least Swind is really building it, unlike the one-off shown by Mini at the NY Auto Show last year. Production is limited to only 100 cars that all come with a one-year unlimited-mile warranty.
Xcar takes the Mini Challenge, and it sounds awesome
Wed, Jan 28 2015The third-generation Mini is well and truly on sale in markets across the world. The new four-door model should be arriving soon, if it isn't already on sale in your neck of the woods, and the latest John Cooper Works model made its official debut just a few weeks ago at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. We aren't going to be talking about any of those right now, though. That's because our chums at Xcar took it upon themselves to sample the third-generation Mini Challenge racecar, a 275-horsepower, hardcore, fully committed competition version of the otherwise adorable Mini Cooper S. At roughly 30,000 British pounds (about $45,200 at today's rates) there's a lot to like about the Challenge car. Aside from a gutted cabin and aggressive aerodynamic kit, the racer has been fitted with slick tires, a Quaife sequential gearbox, adjustable dampers, Alcon brakes and a consequently lower curb weight – under 2,600 pounds with an average-sized driver. It's fair to say the Challenge driving experience figures to be unlike your typical road-going Mini. And considering that, we think the folks that built the car, Total Track, have fulfilled their promise of delivering a "touring car experience at a fraction of the cost." Have a look at the Xcar video and let us know what you think. Be sure to crank up your speakers, because the Challenge sounds excellent.
