Here is the story of it:
This car carries a salvage title with "flood" marking, however, this particular Mini was not flooded at all.
The previous owner slightly scratched the car from the back of the driver's door to the rear wheel and subsequently brought the car to a body shop.
The body shop removed the plastic trim on the driver's side and prepared it to be painted.
I guess then came the storm (Hurricane Sandy) and while the insurance companies were in the correct mood of writing off all those flooded vehicles, the owner also decided to claim it flooded and get paid for it.
No evidence of water intrusion has been found ANYWHERE.
The car starts, runs and drives fine and none of the warning lights are present.
Mechanically it is in excellent condition with just 34 211 miles on it.
You would be able to come and drive the car home, and then repair it later. Just bring your own plate.
The light brown heated leather interior is in perfect condition. It is a little dusty inside due to the missing driver's side window.
What needs to be done to make the car look perfect again:
1) Repair the driver's door and rear quarter panel.
2) Buy and replace approximately $400 worth of missing parts: driver door glass $80, fuel filler door $50, front wheel housing flare $80, rear wheel housing flare $60, side marker light $25, fuse box cover ($20), plastic pistons. Given are approximate prices of NEW OEM parts ordered online.
3) Wash the car and detail the interior.
4) The radio turns on but there is no sound. Not sure why.
5) The convertible top opens half-way (to sunroof position) but it does not go all the way down. Needs to be looked at.
The driver's side door mirror and driver's side door interior panel came from a salvage vehicle and are of a different color.
The Mini Cooper S comes with 1 (ONE) key. It has a 6-speed manual transmission and a 1.6 turbo engine.
The successful high bidder will need to submit a $500 deposit within 24 hours in order to secure the vehicle.
I can ship the vehicle worldwide, including Russia.

2013 Mini John Cooper Works
Tue, 30 Apr 2013Location, Location, Location
Back in February, Mini invited me to come try out its brand-new Paceman coupe-crossover-hatchback thing in Puerto Rico, and not long after, I spit out a Quick Spin detailing my impressions of the little-big two-door. But here's what I didn't tell you: Mini also let me loose on those fine, curvaceous, tropical roads in its hottest hatch, the John Cooper Works GP. And while that behind-the-wheel gigglefest would have no doubt made for a story laden with positive notes and warm regards, the truth is, I only drove it for 15 minutes, so I couldn't in good conscience offer much of a story to you. (European Editor Matt Davis also got a short stint behind the wheel of the GP late last year.)
So for the sake of due diligence, I buckled down and spent a full eight days with the JCW GP back home in Detroit, just as springtime was starting to stick here in southeast Michigan. But after my time with the Mini, I was wishing that I could have just been left with my GP memories from Puerto Rico, where I was pushing the little hotbox hard around smooth corners and flexing every one of its muscles to eke out the full JCW GP experience in only a short timeframe.
2013 Mini John Cooper Works GP will start at $39,950*
Thu, 25 Oct 2012Get your wallets ready, folks. The 2013 Mini John Cooper Works GP arrives this fall, and we've now learned that the cost of entry for the potent little hatchback is $39,950, (*) including $700 for destination.
Aside from an adorably tough appearance, that just-under-$40,000 price tag gets you a whole host of performance goodies, including a turbocharged four-cylinder engine good for 218 horsepower and as much as 207 pound-feet of torque. No, that isn't any more oomph than what you get in the standard JCW Hardtop, but there's a whole lot more to the GP kit. For starters, there's a fully adjustable coilover suspension, not to mention a reduction in overall weight - at 2,558 pounds, the GP is 121 pounds lighter than a normal John Cooper Works Hardtop.
A Mini spokesperson confirmed to Autoblog that the JCW GP can only be purchased one way, and will be offered as an option package on the standard John Cooper Works Hardtop. Its starting price represents a $5,150 increase over a standard JCW model, and is the most expensive model in the Mini range (the next being the $35,550 John Cooper Works Countryman).
Mini adding new driver assist systems to future models
Sun, 13 Oct 2013With all the recent news about automated vehicle technology (from Ford, Nissan and Toyota, among others), Mini is bringing some not-so-groundbreaking tech into its products to better keep the driver connected to the car. Other than stating that these new technologies will roll out in future models, there is no telling when we could see them starting to show up, although our best guess is the 2015 Mini Cooper.
Two of the more notable technologies that Mini will introduce include a head-up display system (shown above) and the "city braking" system to work in conjunction with collision warning and passenger detection. The automated braking system is made possible with the forward-mounted camera, which is also used for adaptive cruise control, auto-dimming headlights and a street sign detection system (to relay speed limit and traffic sign info to the driver). A new parking assist feature helps drivers find a properly sized parking spot, and then drivers can take advantage of the backup camera.
Mini obviously isn't the first to introduce these technologies, but it might be among the first to bring such a large number of advanced safety features into a car priced under $30,000 - though there is no telling how much these options will cost. The automaker has issued a brief press release for its upcoming driver assist systems, which is posted below.
