This is my 77 year old father's MINI. He is no longer able to drive and has asked me to sell his beloved Cooper S. I have been driving the car to work for the past week and I must admit, it's a blast to drive. I detailed both the interior and exterior myself last weekend. I plan to change the oil this weekend (100% synthetic). Hendricks BMW of Charleston has done any and all work to this car. This includes an accident that my Dad was in last year. He ran into the back of another car. It was a low speed, no air bag deployment affair. The dealer did a phenomenal job on the repair. Since then he bumped something in his carport and put a small 2 inch long ding in the front fascia under the headlamp. The car has minor blemishes on the back bumper cover (see pics) and a few tiny rock nits on the passenger side. You have to be no more than two feet away to see them. Mechanically the car runs as new. I've not run across any flaws. Every thing works as it should. Two sets of floor mats are included, carpet and MINI rubber mats. It also comes with a stack of literature including the owners manual and a $130 Bentley shop manual. The front tires are new (less than 500 miles) and the rear have about 80% tread. All four are the run flat type. This car has never been abused and has always been parked in a carport. Never smoked in, ever. The reserve is ridiculously low ! Florence has an international airport (FLO) and I can pick you up if needed. I'm re listing due to some unscrupulous idiot who clicked the "Buy it Now" then terminated his Ebay membership. I don't understand why some people are so evil. . . Anyway, I removed the BUY IT NOW option. Also, I've had people send me phone numbers wanting me to call them. I prefer to correspond by email. I will answer any questions promptly. I will be available everyday until the auction ends. The reserve is truly well below KBB trade in value. My Dad set the reserve. If you have "0" feedback please email me before you bid. Otherwise I will cancel your bid. This is a legally binding transaction. On Jul-19-11 at 21:29:32 PDT, seller added the following information: Here is the best example of why low or no feedback bidders have their bids blocked. The following is the message the high bidder sent me : I apologize for retracting my bid but after further research I concluded that the price I entered was a mistake and was out of my budget range, however I can offer you $9,000, that is the maximum I have to spend, once again my humblest apologies if I have caused you any inconvenience. - mrschulz305 I will be reporting him to Ebay along with anyone else that thinks they can play games and try to high jack someones auction. If he had asked me the reserve price I would have told him like I have to two other bidders. I appologize to the other bidders for allowing this moron to contaminate this auction !
