Awesome Mini Cooper S, 6 speed manual, one owner, well-loved. I ordered this car new from Flow Mini in Winston-Salem in May 2006. It is hyper blue with white roof and mirrors. Ordered with cold weather package (heated front seats, heated side mirrors and washer jets), premium package (automatic AC, dual pane panoramic sunroof, on-board computer, 3-spoke with cruise & multifunction steering wheel), and convenience package (universal garage door opener, auto dimming rear view mirror, rain sensor & auto headlamps). It also has front and rear fog lights, so that all the switch positions are filled, and an 8 speaker Harman Kardon sound system. It also has the heavy duty rubber floor mats, so that the floors are still in pristine condition underneath. All options were ordered with the car, and it has no aftermarket mods. New price was $24,961; I have the original paperwork and almost all maintenance records (excepting a couple of oil changes). It's been a fantastic car and I've enjoyed every second of driving it, but I have a large dog and am upgrading to a Clubman (if you're a first-time Mini buyer, you should know that I was planning to upgrade to an SUV, but after test driving all of them, couldn't deal with the thought of driving anything but a Mini). Almost all of the miles are highway miles put on the car between Greensboro and Raleigh, NC. It has never had anything but 93 octane fuel, and has been maintained by first the dealership and then a BMW-certified mechanic. The car is in good overall condition, but has definitely been well-loved. There is a small tear in the upholstery of the driver's seat, and a few scratches and dings. However, it still has plenty of character and miles left in it, and I still get compliments on it all the time. Will add more photos later.

On Oct-28-12 at 13:11:21 PDT, seller added the following information: Updating again in response to questions received. This vehicle is my daily use vehicle until my new Mini arrives later this week. I currently have no issues with driving it and no warning lights on. However, the vehicle is sold as-is, with no express or implied warranty. You are more than welcome to arrange an inspection through Ebay's inspection service, and I can make it available for inspection by local buyers Monday morning at my workplace in Greensboro, NC. I am a non-smoker and no one has smoked in the car. I do have a dog who rides in it. It has unfortunately not been kept in a garage, and it has the dings that could reasonably be expected on a car with this many miles that has not been garaged. I have uploaded additional pictures that show those minor dings and dents. Tire tread as measured by Flow Mini in Winston Salem last week: LF 5/32" RF 6/32" LR 7/32" RR 3/32". Brake pads were measured at 5 mm (front) and 6 mm (rear), so those may need to be replaced at some point in the near future. Windows, moonroof, etc all work perfectly fine. The front power outlet is missing, but I have it and I assume that someone with more skill than me could just pop it back into the housing.
