“This Mini Cooper S, is in immaculate condition. Always serviced and well maintained. The car was kept always covered and hardly ever driven. I am a firefighter for Los Angeles city fire department. I live out of state and coming to work at the fire station. I purchased the car to have if I ever needed it while I was at work. The reason I'm selling it, is because I never get a chance to drive it. It's in outstanding condition and runs and handles very well.” |

Vehicle description
This Mini Cooper S, is in immaculate condition in and out. Drives and runs like a charm. it has been covered and hardly ever driven. I am a firefighter for Los Angeles city fire department. I live out of state. When I bough the car is was so that I would have some sort of transportation when I come into work fire station. The reason I"m selling it, is because I never get a chance to drive it. Just once in awhile. Most of the time it stays covered at the Firestation. You will love this car. Long-term test goodbye – 11 December 2008 Our Mini Cooper S has gone back after a year’s motoring on the CAR fleet. It’ll be sorely missed and I maintain I’d rather have a Cooper S than any other hot hatch. Yes, a Renaultsport Clio might fly around corners with a smidge more attitude and a 500 Abarth might pack even more pizzazz than Oxford’s rocket, but as an ownership proposition it’s hard to fault the Mini. It goes back in remarkably good shape, feeling solid and fresh after a low-ish 12,017 miles. Next time you see a new Mini, just inspect the quality of the paintwork and body panels to get an impression for how many BMW genes are in this car. And it’s that solidity – the sheer quality of the thing – that won me over. Every time I sank into the Cooper’s (upgraded £1210) leather seats or heard the artful, high-tech indicator tick-tock, it felt special. You make no sacrifices when you downsize to a Mini. I’ve written previously about how brilliant the Mini is to drive and that was key to its appeal. It made every drive an event and the upright windows and excellent visibility help here. It’s just the sort of car you jump in and drive, and it’ll quickly put a smile on your face. 1.6-liter in-line 4 turbocharged 172 horsepower @ 5500 rpm 177 lb.-ft. of torque @ 1600-5000 rpm EPA city/highway fuel economy: 26/34 (manual), 23/32 (automatic) Car come with car cover!
