Loaded 2006 CR/B Cooper S (CA) - New Wheels

I'm listing my 2006 Cooper S for sale as I need something with more room. Everybody knows this story. Get a MINI, fall in love with the car, meet a girl, fall in love with the girl in the MINI, travel the country in the MINI. And then comes the need for a larger vehicle, one that can carry snowboards on the inside and not on a rack.

For the details follow the link.

• Mileage: 46,000
• Chili Red with Black Top
• Black Panther Leather with alloy patina dash
• 6 speed
• Location: Los Angeles
• Average MPG: 27-29



Packages:
• Sport Package (Xenon headlamps with power wash, front fog lights, and DSC-Dynamic Stability Control, sport suspension plus and sport seats)
• Cold Weather Package (heated seats, heated mirrors, heated washer jets)
• Premium Package (Sunroof, auto climate control, MFSW-Cruise control and radio control buttons from steering wheel)



Ala carte factory options:
• Limited Slip Differential
• Navigation System
• Anthracite Headliner



Additional parts:
• MINI Alarm System (dealer installed)
• MINI iPod Adapter (dealer installed)
• Aero Grill (top and bottom piece)



Service History:
• Proper break-in with first oil change at 2500 miles
• Subsequent changes done at 3000 miles, always with full synthetic
• All subsequent service done at South Bay MINI



Condition:
• There are a couple of MINOR scratches from normal driving and a couple of TINY chips on the bonnet. Not visible from 5 feet away
• One small chip low on the front bumper from a rock
• Interior is very nice; non smoker, very well maintained



Mileage:
A majority of the miles have come from two sources, a 70-mile daily commute and very long road trips:
• Texas to California
• California to Montana and back to California
• Up and down the California coast a dozen times
• LA to Mammoth Mountain and back countless times



Pricing:
MSRP was $28,599. I am looking for $20,550. To see how pricing was calculated, please follow the link.
You will get both factory keys, original window sticker, factory manuals, and of course the remainder of the factory warranty. This car is heavily optioned, runs perfectly, and has been extremely well cared for and I am saddened to see it go. I ordered the car to be exactly what I wanted and I have yet to see an exact duplicate. The MINI has done everything I have asked it to, except expand to a larger vehicle.

Your MINI is sharp. How many miles do you have on it and what tranny does it have?

Still available

It is still available. And the price is pretty firm. But I can take the extra wheel set out and knock off a few hundred bucks.

Detailed Records

I received the car in October so it has about 4K miles or 4 months left on the warranty.

Buying it now would be a great opportunity to drive it, get a feel for it, find any concerns and then take it to the dealer for its final warranty service interval. That way all of your concerns would be taken care of on MINI's dime.

And did I mention, detailed service records?

Thanks Duane! I picked up an '05 MCS that is built almost exactly to my prefs already. Thanks for the detailed reply and good luck with the sell. With that kind of care and attn, it should go pretty quick!

Damn....wish you weren't on the other side of the country. Always nice to see someone who keeps such detailed records. Shows the car was well taken care of.

Very nice car - but a little out of my range, price negotiable at all? (without the extra/new wheel would be fine)
