2006 Mini Cooper S
Name: Michael
Location: Norfolk
Means of contact: PM or email
Price: $9,000
Description: It's finally time to sell my Mini. Getting my daughter in and out of it has become difficult; time to get a big boy car.
2006 Mini Cooper S
Approximately 83,xxx miles
As Ordered:
6 speed manual transmission
Factory limited slip
Sport package
HID headlamps
Fog Lamps
Dark Silver Paint (metallic dark gray)
Silver and Black cloth interior
Anthracite headliner
Current Modifications:
debadged
cooper sidemarker surrounds
aero grill
black powdercoated tow hook
aero kit spoiler (pretty rare nowadays)
Schroth 4pt harness
removed the driver's side oh-shit handle for better helmet clearance. has nice blanks in place (still have the handle though)
Auto-up circuit with DSC deactivation
K&N filter directly on the throttle body
Invidia cat back exhaust
Megan Racing coilovers with Swift Springs (currently 6kf/8kr)
Megan Racing rear adjustable control arms (upper)
H Sport rear (lower)
H Sport Comp rear sway bar (the biggest one out there)
Polished rear strut tower bar
Polished front strut tower plates
Polyurethane bushings throughout (suspension, engine, transmission, etc)
TSW stud kit (no more annoying wheel bolts)
17x7 ASA AR1s with 205/40R17 Kumho ASTs
The Good:
Car is mechanically sound and still a ton of fun to drive. I'll be sad to give it up. Relatively competitive locally in STX. If I didn't have to fit kids inside I would definitely keep it.
The Bad:
- There is a dent on the hood. The paintless dent guys don't think they can fix it because it's right on the curve behind the headlamp. The paint isn't cracked and some of you guys around here took years to notice it, so it can't be that bad.
- There is no radio antenna. It broke in an ice storm and I haven't replaced it. I still get the same kind of reception and I kind of like the look. I can get a new base if you want.
- The AC works but isn't quite right. I want to fix this as part of the sale. My thought was that after you buy the car I pay for the fix. Most shops will guarantee the work for a year but that doesn't usually remain when the car is sold. I won't need the warranty if I don't have the car but you will!
The Spares:
- (2) 15x8 and (2) 15x7 TR Motorsport C1 with 225/45R15 and 205/50R15 Toyo R1Rs
- (3) 17x7.5 Rota D2s. The 4th is bent but I still have it. A new 4th wheel can be yours for $150 from the internet. Currently no rubber.
- (4) 17x7 Team Dynamics Pro Race 1s. Currently painted teal. I used lots of clear when I painted the wheels but it wasn't enough. Brake dust baked itself in so the wheels need to be refinished. Has some tired (but not corded) 215/40 Star Specs.
- (4) 15x6 (?) "Holeys". OEM mini wheels with a pretty neat design. Has some very tired R-comps
- (3) 17x7 Anthracite R99s. 4th wheel broke. I love the look of these but since they are OEM getting a 4th is expensive.
- OEM rear sway bar
- Alta 22mm rear sway bar
- 1 set Megan Racing rear control arms
- Mini Cooper gas lid in green. I intended to paint and install this (for the flush look) but never got around to it.
- OEM rear spoiler
- OEM side marker surrounds
- OEM badges
- OEM springs and shocks
- H Sport lowering springs
- Rear seat delete panel
- Original window sticker (if you're in to that sort of thing)
For $9k the car (and as many spares as you want) are yours. Like I said, after the sale I'll pay to have the AC fixed or we can discount the price for the amount (we'll get an estimate from Atlantic Autowerks). I think this is a pretty fair price. That puts it below KBB pricing for "Fair". I think the car is in "Good" shape.
