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.

Sorting through the rat's nest that is Mini's model history
Sat, 13 Apr 2013What do Austin, Morris, British Motor Corporation, British Motor Holdings, British Leyland, Rover Group, and BMW all have in common? Each company has had a hand in bringing the world a sprightly, fuel-efficient, front-wheel-drive fun box on wheels - the Mini.
The Sir Alec Issigonis-designed car has been sold under more brand names and with more model designations than most of us would guess. For seven generations of the classic Mini, from 1959 to 2000, the car carried a bewildering number of model names as well. (Note that's even before BMW took over the nameplate, and starting building cars styled as "MINI" rather than "Mini" in 2001.)
As is its want, Hemmings Daily has taken the time to break down the complex lineage of the car, with a kind of model etymology that makes for a pretty entertaining read. Click over to the site to give it a go; but check out our gallery of classic Mini pictures before you jump.
Mini Paceman Adventure photos arrive by the trucklette-load
Fri, 25 Apr 2014Yesterday, we brought you the news of the existence of this Mini Paceman Adventure tiny truck, and the story of how it came to be. Long story short: it was a lighthearted collaboration between apprentices and instructors at parent BMW plants in Germany. The mini-sized pickup bed and off-road kit may not make the Paceman All4 actually practical, but we'd argue that they do make the one-off fairly loveable.
Apparently the Mini photographers agree with that "loveable" part. We'd heard that there were some better, higher-resolution images of the Paceman Adventure on the way, but we didn't expect there to be hundreds of them. But as you can see, the shooters went out and thoroughly documented the pickup, shooting it in several locations, still and moving, and documenting some of its construction as well. Find your favorite in the massive gallery of images, above.
Next Mini Convertible spotted on flatbed truck
Tue, 05 Nov 2013Mini is well underway testing the third-generation of its four-place Cooper Convertible, as evidenced by these photos, showing the new droptop riding along on a flatbed.
Codenamed the F57 - as opposed to the "F56" designation for the Hardtop - the Convertible will ride on the same UKL front-drive architecture that will underpin its hardtop brother, not to mention its German cousins, the BMW 1 Series GT and X1. According to our spies, it'll share more than a few of the BMW i's lightweight technologies and will include such advanced features as electronically adjustable dampers. That seems like some high-dollar tech for a droptop Mini, but we'd be quite happy to see it arrive all the same.
From the beltline down, we can expect the Convertible to feature almost identical styling to the Hardtop. Based on the spy photos, there's not a lot to see above the belt line, either. The roof carries roughly the same shape, and will probably fold in a similar Z-pattern to the current canvas top.
