2003 Mini Cooper S--JCW John Cooper Works Package = 200 hp (upgraded manifold, exhaust, air filter). Fully loaded with Navigation, leather, pw, pdl, cd/stereo, traction control. Overall nice condition. Tires with much tread remaining. 129,xxx miles. Daily driver--freeway miles ask 9500

only thing that bugs me is the miles

that's a lotta miles...I'd keep lookin, say for a 2006 with less usage. Freeway miles here in socal...and most places these days...are not easy miles.

That is a lot of miles and the superchargers seem to die after 100,000 miles. I would also suggest a 2005 or 2006 model year because of the improvements. However, you will probably pay around $18,000 for a nice low mileage 2006 MCS JCW. If you like better performance the JCW option is the way to go unless you like modifying cars, in which case there are many aftermarket parts available to make your Mini better.
