2008 Mini Cooper S - 1-owner, Automatic, Dealer Svc'd, Navigation, Cold Wthr Pkg on 2040-cars
San Francisco, California, United States
|
I'm pleased to offer this Lightning Blue 2008 Mini Cooper for sale, on behalf of a close friend of mine who is the original owner. This Mini has always been dealer serviced since new, and all records of maintenance and repairs are included, as well as the two factory keys and the original window sticker. This car has always been garage-kept and driven in temperate west-coast weather. It has only seen snow once or twice, early in its life when the owner still lived in the Seattle area. Full disclosure: I've been in, out and around this vehicle and have mentioned any (minor) flaws below in my condition description. I believe in transparency when it comes to representing a vehicle.
The exterior and interior of this vehicle are in excellent shape. I feel the pictures don't do the car justice. It shines quite nicely in the sun and there are no signs of fading or mismatched paint. All body panels align correctly and are in good nick, straight and clean. There is one door ding on the passenger side, and two dings from road debris on the bonnet. I really can't think of any other flaws. Aside from that, the car shows quite well. The interior is neat and clean as the day it rolled off the showroom floor. This car has never been smoked in and does not have any stains or odor present. The headliner, seats, dash and carpet all look fantastic. The only flaw inside is a 1.5 inch small separation on the seat bottom, which can only be noticed if you're really searching for it. This car runs, drives, steers and stops as it should. There are no warning lights or items that need repair on this car. Push the start button and go. This Mini handles fantastic and tracks straight. I've put about 150 highway miles on the car while storing it. (I like to know the car I'm selling - also its a great excuse to drive this fun car!) This vehicle is well optioned, and includes items such as: Convenience Package -Multi-function leather steering wheel -Universal Garage Opener -Comfort Access System -Auto dimming mirror -Center Armrest -Rain Sensor & Automatic Lights -Bluetooth & USB/iPod Cold Weather Package -Power Folding Mirrors -Heated Mirrors & Washer Jets -Heated Front Seats Navigation System Premium Headliner Chrome Line Exterior Package Anti-theft System Automatic Air Conditioning Fog Lamps Included with the car is a compilation of dealer service receipts, the original window sticker, and two factory smart key/fobs. Other info: The vehicle did have an oil service recently, along with a full detail. It could use a set of tires in the next few months. This vehicle has had an accident in 2011, but was professionally repaired correctly. Receipts of bodywork from the Mini & Insurance-recommended shop are included with the car. The car carries a clean title and there is no evidence of that damage or the repair, but I do like to be up front and honest. As with any used car, there are minor signs of road use. However, this car is in excellent overall shape inside and out. You must see it to truly appreciate it. This car does not carry any factory warranty, and is sold "AS-IS". Please, serious buyers only, as I do not have the time to re-list. Book values dictate this car to be worth $12,361 in "Excellent" condition, $11900 for "Good". Reserve is near KBB value for "Fair" condition, as I'm a motivated seller. Serious local inquiries can call or text me for an appointment to see & drive. (609) 276-9843 The car is located in San Francisco, California, and must be picked up within the Bay Area. I may be able to meet or help deliver the car if you're within the Bay Area, and could pick you up at the airport if need be. Thanks for looking and Happy Bidding! |

2014 Mini Cooper Clubvan
Mon, 08 Apr 2013A Premium Van For The Modern-Day Milkman
We first saw the Mini Clubvan at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2012, then in December again at the Los Angeles Auto Show. Based on a stock Mini Clubman, the Clubvan's dimensions are identical, while all side windows aft of the middle pillar are blocked out from the inside with handy polycarbonate liners (read: fancy plastic) and have body color skin on the outside, while the rear windows are tinted to boot. It looks like a van and works like a van, so it must be a van. A Mini-van, though.
Where is Mini going with this relatively low-cost (to the company) product line extension? The chief market for this nimble little hauler is cities in Great Britain where they were frequently in bygone days identified as milk delivery vans. These days, though, there are - even in the US now - lower cost smaller urban delivery vans from Ford, Ram and Nissan. Therefore, the spin is that the Mini Clubvan is designed to cater to smaller boutique firms in need of making a fashionable impression while delivering the goods to people living in penthouses and such. Think: Florists, caterers, and so on.
Mini Superleggera Vision Concept keeps us hangin' on [w/video]
Fri, 03 Oct 2014Mini's Superleggera Vision Concept may not be a Paris Motor Show debut, but this is the first time we've seen this stunning all-electric roadster in the metal, having been first shown on the tony shores of Lake Como at Villa D'Este in May. While it's small in stature, it's still big on both presence and detail, from its overall stubby yet sleek proportions to its Union Jack taillamps, Jaguar-esque rear fin and elegant rearview mirrors.
We still don't know much more about what powers this Touring Superleggera coachbuilt showcar, as any powertrain specifics are conspicuous by their absence, but we'd welcome both a pure electric version and something powered by the BMW/Mini turbocharged three-cylinder currently making the rounds in the new Mini Cooper.
Last we heard in September, any decisions on a production future for the Superleggera Vision have been tabled, with word being that a further six months of study is planned before Mini decides to greenlight or nix the project. We'd love to tell you that the fact that it's here in Paris is a great sign, but we wouldn't believe us, either.
Mini shows how to camp in style
Sun, 21 Jul 2013If you're the type of person who loves spontaneous road trips and camping, and Volkswagen's Camper Vans aren't your style (or you can't find one for sale in the US), then Mini has what you're looking for: the Clubvan Camper, Cowley caravan or Countryman ALL4 Camp. Unfortunately, Mini says there are no plans to offer any of them for sale. And no, this doesn't seem to be a recycled April fools joke, in which Mini touted the Swindon Roof Top Tent and Cowley.
Let's start with the Clubvan camper, a curious prototype that has a sleeping area for one and an extendable kitchenette featuring a stove and chest fridge. And we say curious because, in addition to not being offered for sale anywhere at this point, the Camper is based on the Clubvan, which was just pulled from US dealerships due to low sales volume. This thing definitely isn't coming to the US.
The Cowley caravan, named after Mini's historic factory in England (known today as Plant Oxford), can be towed behind a Mini vehicle and features a sleeping area for two, a twin-burner gas stove and a water tank complete with pump and sink facility. It looks quite comfortable in there. The Cowley uses a solar panel to charge its onboard battery, and it has a 230-volt connection to power the fridge and entertainment equipment.
