Exclamation Superb 27k mi '05 "S" 'Vert, Priced for Quick Sale!

Year: 2005
Make: MINI
Model: Convertible
Price: $6700
Mileage: 27101
Color: Hot Orange Metallic
Private or Dealer Listing: Private Listing
Location (Region): Midwestern

2005 Cooper S Convertible, 6-speed, loaded, 27,101 miles, priced at just $6,700 for quick sale!! Awesome Hot Orange Metallic exterior, code A26, with Sunrise Orange & Blue cloth and leather interior, code FEDC.

Owned since April of 2017, and love it, but I am an older adult with progressive rheumatoid arthritis and the car has sadly become too difficult for me to drive. I need to sell it so I can buy a larger, softer, more modern car I have my eye on.

This car is in excellent shape in/out--it was hands-down the nicest R52 S I could find when I looked for several months last year. It has a lot of good options: LSD, chrono pack (huge plus, IMO), leather and cloth interior, R90 wheels, HK stereo, Xenon lights, automatic a/c, DSC, chrome line trim, foglights, multifunction wheel, etc. etc.) It has a clean Carfax showing two prior owners, both in central FL. The Hot Orange paint is all original (but for an excellent cosmetic respray of the front bumper cover by prior owner) and is in remarkable shape--no dings or dents, and no scratches I can find either.

New in the last year, top quality upgrades professionally installed by MINI specialist: 4 new Goodyear Indy 500 tires (comfortable and grippy, and a Slime tire repair kit lives in the boot), cabrio-specific Miltek cat-back exhaust, DDM cold air intake, ATI super damper, CravenSpeed 15% s/c pulley, correct NGK plugs and Gates belt, OE motor mounts and aux input.

Never tracked, redlined, or abused in any way--my physical challenges wouldn't allow me to drive it that way even if I wanted to, but I love and baby this car; only in rain once since I've owned it and I drove right back home to wash and dry it hahaha.

It was in heated storage all winter, with oil changes at the MINI dealer before and after storage, and from all I, or dealer, can tell it needs nothing. Last 7 of VIN= TF84755.

I have had three MINIs and this is by far the best one and the most fun to drive. It will make any MINI lover very, very happy--especially at this price!!

Given my health status, I just don't have time or energy for tire kickers or a long sales process, so priced for quick sale at just $6,700! Serious buyers please PM with questions.

Thanks Noonzio, I was going by memory on the wheel code, and apparently the memory was a faulty one. Appreciate the clarification. ​​​​
