For sale $6500. R53 Mini Cooper S with 65k miles. Clean title and verifiable by car fax report (included). Vehicle will need a clutch in the near future as it has started to slip in high gear (noticed on my commute home yesterday 08/28/19) Any other issue that might have become problematic has been gone through and replaced. Car runs amazing and is a blast to drive. Very reliable and great on gas. I purchased to use as a short commuter car rather than driving my diesel. However, it doesn’t fit car seats as well as I hoped for. Below is a list of improvements to the car:
-Refreshed cylinder head (valve, guide work performed / replaced with new guides, three angle valve job, CBN milled, new valve seals).
-Thermostat.
-New aluminum radiator.j
-New coolant tank (prone to crack so it was replaced).
-New coolant hoses (signs of aging so they were replaced).
-New R1 Concept drilled and slotted rotors.
-New R1 Concept brake pads.
-New poly front lower control arm bushings.
-New BBS 16” wheels and 195/16 tires.
-New headlights and tail lights (get foggy due to age).
-New Rev9 coilovers with dampening adjustments
Performance parts:
-Alta intake
-Alta Intercooler diverter
-Alta 15% supercharger pulley
-MSD coils and pack
-JCW 380cc injectors
-Detroit tuned bypass
-Magnaflow cat back exhaust
Exterior bling:
-JCW front upper grill
-Oversized hood scoop
-Yellow fog light tent
-New front black JCW grill
-New gloss black door handle covers
-Nee gloss black inner door handle cover
-New gloss black fuel cap cover
-New gloss black headlight trim
-Black belt line trim
-Rear wing extension
-Rear window wiper delete
Interior:
-New interior lights
-Alta short shifter
-Out motoring shift well cover
-Carbon fiber shift ****
-Boost gauge
For the cons:
-Leather on driver seat is slightly worn. Passenger side looks good and rear seats look brand new.
-Glove box does not open
-Going to need a clutch in the future (starting to slip in high gear).
If you made it this far you can see the car is slightly built but nothing over the top (keep it reliable). Please give me a call or text if interested. (951) 712-1297

I am not interested in a trade, thanks though. Where are you located?
I know I'm just saying I was the guy who had reached out to you, I actually had posted your car on here to see if anyone knew it. I'm in texas, this is still, to me, the cleanest r53 I've seen.
