Rare combination 2005 MINI Cooper S R53 (chrono, no sunroof!) in Washington DC area

Make: MINI
Model: Cooper
Price: $12000
Mileage: 64000
Color: Hyper Blue / Black

Location (Region): NorthEast

2005 MINI Cooper S (R53)

MORE PICTURES: http://photobucket.com/r53mini

Clean inside and out. It is in immaculate condition and drives perfect! This MINI is completely stock- unmolested. No mushrooming to the strut towers. This is my daily commuter so miles will continue to change. I keep maintenance records; this car is very well cared for.

* Hyper blue with black roof
* Harmon Kardon sound system
* NO SUNROOF (much lighter, more headroom, and less potential for leaks/issues with sunroof)
* Chrono package! The center cluster displays oil pressure& temperature (great for knowing health of engine), coolant temperature, and fuel level. The speedometer moves to a more convenient location next to the tachometer.
* Light weight and much better ride quality 16" wheels with great shape Kumho all-season tires.
* Heated seats

This is a great combination for enthusiasts due to the lower weight and better ride compared to most other R53 MINIs. Just tuned up with new air filter, new spark plugs, new ignition wires, and oil and filter change with Mobil-1 full synthetic.

100% clean inside and out, completely unmodified. The only things not mint about this car are mild wear to driver's seat and mild curb rash on wheels from previous owner. It is in immaculate condition! No mushrooming to the strut towers.

* Hyper blue with black roof- very subtle.
* Harmon Kardon sound system
* NO SUNROOF (much lighter, more headroom, and less potential for leaks/issues with sunroof)
* Chrono package! The center cluster displays oil pressure& temperature (great for knowing health of engine), coolant temperature, and fuel level. The speedometer moves to a more convenient location next to the tachometer.
* Light weight and much better ride quality 16" wheels with almost new Kumho all-season tires.

Not too shabby of a deal. However, I'm just too key at kicking people in the ***** because I just bought my MINTER 2005 Mini custom ordered S with 56,000miles for $13,000. It has absolutely no wear (including the driver seat), was never driven in any type of weather (including rain) and was absolutely babied by the original owner. My 17 inch MINI wheels are also chrome...which the previous owners had to ship to LA to get done...
