Here is the story of it:
This car carries a salvage title with "flood" marking, however, this particular Mini was not flooded at all.
The previous owner slightly scratched the car from the back of the driver's door to the rear wheel and subsequently brought the car to a body shop.
The body shop removed the plastic trim on the driver's side and prepared it to be painted.
I guess then came the storm (Hurricane Sandy) and while the insurance companies were in the correct mood of writing off all those flooded vehicles, the owner also decided to claim it flooded and get paid for it.
No evidence of water intrusion has been found ANYWHERE.
The car starts, runs and drives fine and none of the warning lights are present.
Mechanically it is in excellent condition with just 34 211 miles on it.
You would be able to come and drive the car home, and then repair it later. Just bring your own plate.
The light brown heated leather interior is in perfect condition. It is a little dusty inside due to the missing driver's side window.
What needs to be done to make the car look perfect again:
1) Repair the driver's door and rear quarter panel.
2) Buy and replace approximately $400 worth of missing parts: driver door glass $80, fuel filler door $50, front wheel housing flare $80, rear wheel housing flare $60, side marker light $25, fuse box cover ($20), plastic pistons. Given are approximate prices of NEW OEM parts ordered online.
3) Wash the car and detail the interior.
4) The radio turns on but there is no sound. Not sure why.
5) The convertible top opens half-way (to sunroof position) but it does not go all the way down. Needs to be looked at.
The driver's side door mirror and driver's side door interior panel came from a salvage vehicle and are of a different color.
The Mini Cooper S comes with 1 (ONE) key. It has a 6-speed manual transmission and a 1.6 turbo engine.
The successful high bidder will need to submit a $500 deposit within 24 hours in order to secure the vehicle.
I can ship the vehicle worldwide, including Russia.

Next Mini Countryman spotted with swirls
Wed, 03 Sep 2014Mini is continuing to update its models onto its latest UKL front-wheel-drive platform that it shares with parent BMW. Here, our spies caught an early glimpse of the next-gen Countryman testing on the new chassis.
Like the rest of the updated Mini lineup, the latest Countryman doesn't exactly show a huge shift in styling from the current version. The front end appears to be slightly more blunt, and the headlights have a redesigned shape. However, behind the A-pillar the differences seem to be pretty subtle. At the rear, the new Countryman also looks to adopt the brand's rounded rectangle taillights protruding into the hatch like on the standard Cooper Hardtop range. While not shown here, our spies claim that Mini is also aiming for a roomier interior for the upcoming crossover so that it can be more competitive in its class.
At least for now, the Countryman is going to be the largest vehicle in the Mini range, according to an earlier statement from chief designer Anders Warming. The CUV is rumored to debut around 2016 with some assembly possibly done at Mini's plant in the Netherlands. Until then, have a look at these spy shots and tell us what you think.
28 "flexible ladies" cram into a Mini Cooper [w/video]
Sat, 17 Nov 2012The Mini Cooper is now confirmed as a great car with which to pick up chicks-up to 28 of them at a time, to be specific. That's the number of limber ladies you can fit in a Mini, as proven earlier this week in London.
The flexible females used every available space in the car, including the footwells and dashboard, to set the Guinness World Record for the most people inside a 2012 Mini. They beat their own previous record of 27, set last year.
Organizer Dani Maynard said before the attempt that the girls had undergone extra training and stretching since last year's record-breaking stunt. "While we have not quite been able to fit any of the girls into the Mini's glove box, there is a surprising amount of space to utilise," she told UK news site Metro.
Mini USA will temporarily stop importing manual transmissions
Fri, May 24 2019Emissions certification woes strike again, this time at Mini. The U.S. arm of Blighty's iconic car company has had to temporarily put a stop to importing any models with manual transmissions beginning with July production, which is when BMW typically begins rolling the new model year down assembly lines. According to MotoringFile, calibration testing for the six-speed manual is taking longer than expected. The outlet guesses the interruption will conclude by September, because it has "seen these type of delays in the past and they've lasted from 1-4 months." It has queried the brand's head of communication, who said, "As much as we at MINI USA would like to have a definitive timeline, it would be too early to say." The spokesman did, however, say that Mini remains committed to the manual gearbox. That comes in contrast to Toyota's recent breakdown of manual take-rates across a range of vehicle types, Hyundai jettisoning the manual on the 2020 Elantra, and stalwart enthusiast rides like the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 and Chevrolet Corvette leaving the stick-shift fold. Nevertheless, Mini's efforts feel, at best, like raging against the dying of the light, especially because the end of the MF report states, "the other big news is that Mini USA is also eliminating the manual option from some models all-together." MF isn't yet certain about which models are affected, though. Buyers stepping up during the row-your-own intermission will get a crack at the long awaited seven-speed dual-clutch transmission or a revised eight-speed automatic. The DCT will slide into the Cooper and Coooper S models, the traditional automatic makes a home in the 301-horsepower John Cooper Works Clubman and Countryman.
