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.

Mini ditches four-seat Countryman
Wed, 10 Oct 2012Mini is walking away from the rear bucket seats in its Countryman crossover. MotoringFile.com reports that starting in 2013, the CUV will no longer offer just two seats in the second row. Originally, Mini was forced to offer the buckets due to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration rules governing the the minimum vehicle width for the allowance of three-wide seating. That rule was recently changed, which allowed Mini to offer the bench seat. Not surprisingly, few buyers have opted for the awkward bucket-and-rail configuration since. Moving forward, all Countryman models will also come with the vehicle's flat-load rear floor as well.
During our time with our long-term Countryman, we found the middle rail between the two buckets to be a bit gimmicky, especially given the fact that the cup holders were only large enough to accommodate a 12-ounce can.
Mini John Cooper Works Convertible gets a belated show debut
Thu, Mar 24 2016Mini originally introduced the new John Cooper Works Convertible way back in January. But since the German-owned British outfit wasn't attending the Detroit Auto Show, we were stuck waiting to see it until today at the 2016 New York Auto Show. The JCW Convertible is something of an anomaly, lacking any real competitors, but that doesn't make it any less enticing. Like the standard JCW Hardtop, the 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder is good for 228 horsepower and 236 pound-feet of torque. The cab will hit 60 in 6.4 seconds, which is slower than perhaps its closest competitor, the Mazda MX-5. The trade off here, of course, is a lot more space, style, and optional extras than the cozy MX-5. Mini's hugely diverse options catalog is present and accounted for with the JCW Convertible, giving interested consumers a degree of customization that every automaker short of Porsche and hand-built exotic brands will have trouble matching. Of course, it comes with a frankly absurd sticker price – Mini's top-end droptop starts at $36,450, including the $850 destination charge. That figure swells fast. Expect at least $40,000 for a decently equipped example. You can play with the JCW Convertible's configurator, or just check out our first round of live images of Mini's latest high-performance model.

Jaguar ousts Lexus from atop J.D. Power 2013 Sales Satisfaction Index
Mon, 18 Nov 2013Jaguar has taken the top spot among luxury brands in the 2013 Sales Satisfaction Index, an annual survey conducted by J.D. Power that measures customer satisfaction with the experience of purchasing a new vehicle. The English brand, not even among the top three luxury automakers on the list last year, vaulted ahead of Lexus, which placed third this year after leading the list in 2011 and 2012. Porsche, meanwhile, moved into second place.
The rankings are based on a point score out of 1,000, with Jaguar earning 740 points, Porsche right behind with 739 and Lexus with 737. Volvo, meanwhile, made the biggest improvement among luxury brands with a 30-point jump to 708, bring it up from 11th place to 9th this year.
J.D. Power has a separate ranking for mass-market brands, and this year Mini again tops the list with a score of 718, far outpacing second-place Buick with a score of 694 and making it the fourth time Mini has lead this list. After Buick, the next two ranked brands are both American and both from General Motors, with Chevrolet and GMC sharing third place with a score of 686.
