In the spring bought a 2003 Mini S with 155 k miles from a used car lot. Didn't know at the time but the car was modified with Alta smaller pulley and foam / silicone tube intake. It appears to have after market exhaust. Have put 7k miles on car it has become my favorite ride! Waiting to see what happens with the first snow storm in Wisconsin and the Mini's handling characteritics.

Cheers!

 

Good luck on your MINI purchase with 162K miles think positive. Might think about some snow tires just to be on the safe side.

 

Hey, congratulations! It sounds like your MINI's well worn in and it's still a blast! Have fun and be careful out there!
