2005 Mini Cooper with Panoramic Roof. Hatchback. Rare black. Bought at Dealer Auction for me to drive. When delivered I saw the car and loved the color combination and the amount of features. The engine sounded great. I was off for a test drive. Up to 30 miles an hour and no shift to higher gear or however the automatic transmission works. I was sick. It backs up fine. I just kept it home and looked at it in my garage. They are so cute. I drove it to my warehouse at 25-30 miles an hour. What a fun car to drive. I sell antique, classic and special interest cars. I am not a repair garage or restorer. Therefore I am selling this Mini at a bargain for you to research the transmission problem. For the mileage the car is very nice. The pictures show some chips and wear but this is a real great looking Mini. If I lived in Florida in a place like the Villages where you use a golf cart to get around I would keep it. Not for sale to NY buyer because they require me to fix the transmission as a Dealer, sorry. Have fun bidding. No other Dealer fees.

I was sick to have to sell my Mini and did not do like I always do provide the detail I would want if I was buying. A comment in Edmunds: Replete with British charm and German engineering, the born-again 2005 Mini Cooper is a stylish, affordable go-kart for adults.
