ebay@planetthrift.com Store Great little car. The car is an S model with a 6-Speed. The only way to drive a Mini. It is the car that everyone should drive once in their life. It is fast, maneuverable, and fun and best of all it gets great gas mileage. (up to 30 MPG Avegrage, all of those other numbers are if you don't drive a a Mini like you should. I have got it to give me 34 MPG, but I had to drive like I was driving Miss Daisy) I am only parting with my beloved mini because my son is getting to big for the back seat, but still not old enough for the front seat. Car condition If you are one of these people that like to get noticed in a car then the beautiful blue color and hood racing stripes of this Mini has always turned heads. It is also one of the very few minis that you will see without a white or black roof. It is the same color as the car. I have only found two online. Exterior finish on the car is great. Just had the car detailed in and out by Anthony's Car wash. Almost didn't want to sell it after, it looked so good. Small issue that are discussed at bottom of description. Interior is what they call leatherette. I call it vinyl, but it is a little softer than vinyl. It is in excellent condition, with one exception noted at the bottom of the description Back windows and hatch window are tinted. Unfourtunatly they were tinted poorly and the back window has crinkled. It really needs to be removed and redone, I just never have. I will have it removed if you wish before final purchase is made. Engine, Wheels, Tires, Breaks. Brakes Pads and rotors are less than a year old and still great. Engine is in great condition. About time for the tune up though. Oil has been changed well before the 15,000 miles that is suggested by Mini. Most work has been done by Mini. I have had no engine problems the entire time I have had the Mini. Tires are in great condition. Due to an emergancy replacement of one of the rear tires only 3 of the tires are Run Flats, but the fourth is reinforced. Current wheels are custom 17X7.5 Enkei Performance Imola Purchased one year ago see below. Stock Rims and tires with about 70-85% wear on them included. The wheels and tires that are on it give the car a much beefy look and handling, but it does make the ride very stiff. I have two extras that I used in the car that I loved, they have been removed for sale, but if you would like them we can work out a fair price for them. Just ask if you would like pictures and let me know at purchase time if you would like them. Jensen DVD Car Stereo with Ipod controller. Small screen, that is only supposed to be watched while not driving. Also has external video monitor that can go in the back seat for viewing by the kids. You can hook up your ipod and let them watch netflix in the back. Parrot Bluetooth- lets you talk hands free while driving. Small screen that tells you who is calling and controls the phone via voice commands. http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/WheelCloseUpServlet?target=wheelCloseUp&wheelMake=Enkei+Performance&wheelModel=Imola&wheelFinish=Bright+Silver+Paint&partnum=4627750140BS I bought this car as the third owner with 25,000+ miles on it in May of 2009 and have driven all of the remaining miles on it back and forth to work. Most miles are Highway miles. See Route at link below. http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=Alabaster,+AL&daddr=Planet+Thrift,+Center+Point+Parkway,+Center+Point,+AL&hl=en&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=38.22949,70.224609&geocode=FXlE-wEdh0nT-ilT-iWU-CWJiDFQMLBcR50BBw%3BFXA4AQIdR1DV-iGbbqY6Yfjz7Q&vpsrc=0&mra=ls&t=m&z=10 Issues with Car are as follows. Two issues that will be fixed upon receipt of deposit Passenger door window and speakers are not working. Right passenger window defogger cover is missing. Just got to get a new one. Interior tint was not done very well. I bought it that way. It has crinkled over time. Looks fine from the outside, but not from inside. It could be easily removed, and I will attemt to do so before the purchase is final if you would like Issues that I would consider minor and I will add pictures to show these issues when I return home this evening. Rear boot hatch does not like to tell the car that it is closed and in the many attempts to turn the hatch light off a dent has emerged at the the bottom of the hatch. Small scrath on the rear quarter panel Small dent on front of hood. Driver side seat does have some cracking on the bottom left of the seat Center cap of Steering wheel shows some age. I am and honest seller and have been selling on Ebay for a long time. However this is my first time selling a car. So if I have not put something in this add that you would like to know, please don't hesitate to ask.
