Year:2005 Mileage:26000
Location:

Morristown, New Jersey, United States

Morristown, New Jersey, United States

Up for auction is a 2005 Mini Cooper Convertible loaded. This one owner car only has only 26,xxx miles, was purchased new from the dealer, and garage kept its whole life. The owner is originally from NJ and has been staying here visiting family. The car has a clean Florida title and was shipped on a covered car carrier when it was brought up here. It has a 1.6L 4 cylinder engine which gets amazing gas mileage. It is estimated (33-35 highway/ 26-27 city) miles to the gallon. It has leather, air conditioning, 4 wheel disc ABS brakes, cruise control, automatic transmission, premium stereo with Harmon/Kardon Speakers, keyless entry, and more.

The convertible top has two settings that allow you to either use it as a sunroof or the whole top goes down. The car was always routinely serviced by the dealer. The car is a dark gray (dark charcoal) in color and the interior is black with saddle accent. The owner is a personal friend and loves Mini Cooper to the point they will go right out and buy another one when this sells. Sadly an arm injury makes getting things out of the back difficult and a coupe would be a better fit for this time in their life.

Feel free to ask any questions or if you would like to see more pictures.   Bid with confidence I have 100% perfect feedback and have been an Ebay member for over 13 years.

Please read below before bidding:

ITEM DESCRIPTIONS: Some of the items I sell are older, vintage, and almost always pre-owned. I do my absolute best to catch and mention any blemishes, defects, etc., but on occasion I don't catch everything. Please know this when bidding on older or used items.  I do not mind taking extra pictures to email you or anything just to get us on the same page.

SHIPPING: I will ship with three (3) business days of auction ending as the description states but often its within the second day.  Please understand that most items can not be packaged until after auction end or sale as last minute photo requests or questions are frequent. I carefully package all items so that they arrive safely at your door. I will only ship to paypal verified addresses. I normally ship USPS however due to different situations (postal lines, location, etc) UPS is used at times. 

LOCAL PICK UP ITEMS: Local pick up items are available for pick up at the location listed in the auction.  I have sold several items and always have had a great time meeting fellow eBay users.  Several times people have wanted items listed for local pick up shipped to them.  To accommodate this request I delivered the item to the local UPS store which the seller called in to make the shipping arraignments and payment.  I do not mind doing this, however please let me know ahead of time so I can plan to accommodate this.  I also do not mind not having a immediate paypal and accepting cash at the time of sale, as many buyers have preferred to do that.  Whatever the buyer is comfortable with is fine with me.

FEEDBACK: Customer satisfaction is my top priority. I aspire to give you five star services, if you do not get that please contact me ASAP So we can correct the problem before you leave feedback. I always leave feedback after the buyer does so I know the sale is complete and you are happy. Should any issue arise with your purchase, please contact me so that we can work things out. Feedback is very important to all of us, as it allows us to keep the bad apples out of eBay for both buyer and seller.  Not only do I sell on eBay but I buy quite a bit, too.  It seems a majority of bad feedback results from lack of communication.  I ask that before you leave feedback you discuss your issue with me.  There is always a common ground solution that can be reached.

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: I love my international buyers and most of my listings are available for purchase to worldwide customers.  I do appreciate if you bid as an international buyer you send me a message before hand.  This allows me to get an estimate on shipping and it shows me you are a real interested buyer.  For whatever reason many new buyers without feedback are bidding on items that they never pay for.  That will let me know your serious and will get me working out the details before the auction ends.   If a listed item is not available internationally (usually due to weight), please contact me prior to bidding so that we can look at shipping costs and reach an agreement prior to purchase.

Mini officially reveals Frozen Black Countryman and Paceman

Sat, 19 Oct 2013

BMW has been offering Frozen editions of its cars for several years now highlighted by matte paint and very limited production, and now Mini is getting in on the game with Frozen Black versions of the Paceman and Countryman. Unlike our report from earlier in the week, these models will not wear the Batman-sounding Black Knight name, but instead, like the BMW models, will be dubbed Frozen Edition. That previous intel also had it that production of the Frozen Edition Minis would be limited to just 60 units. Now official, Mini has not confirmed how many - or few - of these limited edition models it would build.
The Frozen Black paint adds silicates to the lacquer finish creating a "matted impression," which sounds like it should be easier for owners to maintain and wash, although Mini still advises against waxing or polishing. This special paint will be offered on all S, Diesel and John Cooper Works versions of the Paceman and Countryman, though it's not clear as of this writing if any will be offered in the US. Mini's press release for the Frozen Black Paceman and Countryman is posted below.

Psychology can wipe out 20-25% of your EV's range

Tue, Feb 25 2014

There are two primary takeaways from a recent study of electric-vehicle driving habits in Germany. One: an electric vehicle with 25 percent of its battery charge left creates the same reaction in drivers as the fuel needle on "E" in a gas-powered car. Two: familiarity breeds comfort. The study, conducted by Germany's Technische Universitat Chemnitz and funded by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety, put some real numbers on the concept of "range anxiety." According to Green Car Congress, that anxiety truly kicks in when there's less than a quarter of the driving range left on an EV's battery and the study found that a typical car's range is "shortened" by a 20 to 25 percent "psychological safety buffer." If we take the popular Nissan Leaf as an example, the official 84-mile single-charge range is really closer to 63 miles in the head of the driver. The longer the driver spent in the EV, the shorter his mental buffer became. The study was culled from data involving just 79 drivers who tooled around Berlin in Mini E EVs for about six months, collectively putting a quarter-million miles on the electric vehicles. The good news is that the longer the driver spent using the EV, the shorter his mental buffer became, which meant he could comfortably get more miles from the car. So, to all you EV advocates out there, know that once drivers spend some time with an EV, they get more and more used to what the car can do. It's a lesson we've learned before. Just remember that to new EV drivers, the single-charge range is a lot smaller than the one old-timers see.

2013 Mini John Cooper Works GP will start at $39,950*

Thu, 25 Oct 2012

Get your wallets ready, folks. The 2013 Mini John Cooper Works GP arrives this fall, and we've now learned that the cost of entry for the potent little hatchback is $39,950, (*) including $700 for destination.
Aside from an adorably tough appearance, that just-under-$40,000 price tag gets you a whole host of performance goodies, including a turbocharged four-cylinder engine good for 218 horsepower and as much as 207 pound-feet of torque. No, that isn't any more oomph than what you get in the standard JCW Hardtop, but there's a whole lot more to the GP kit. For starters, there's a fully adjustable coilover suspension, not to mention a reduction in overall weight - at 2,558 pounds, the GP is 121 pounds lighter than a normal John Cooper Works Hardtop.
A Mini spokesperson confirmed to Autoblog that the JCW GP can only be purchased one way, and will be offered as an option package on the standard John Cooper Works Hardtop. Its starting price represents a $5,150 increase over a standard JCW model, and is the most expensive model in the Mini range (the next being the $35,550 John Cooper Works Countryman).
