R53 Mini Cooper S 03'

Year: 2003
Make: MINI
Model: Cooper
Price: $9200
Mileage: 56400
Color: Electric Blue
Private or Dealer Listing: Private Listing
Location (Region): NorthEast

2003 Mini Cooper S
W11 Engine (w11b16) 1.6 Supercharged
6 Speed Manual
Electric Blue Met - BMW code 870
56xxx miles
OEM Stock (Drop in K&N Air Filter)
Full Options/Loaded

This car was purchased a few years back from the original owners(I believe) but the carfax does show the previous owners titling the car with 20-25k, so we might be the third owners. Well documented car and very solid history. This car was purchased by my parents and was initially going to be a weekend car, but they never actually ended up using/taking advantage of the car. They just don't have the time it deserves and would rather see it go to a home that is more into these builds. The car has been babied since purchased. For the most part it was not used much at all. I would go there once or twice a week to start it up, drive it around, and make sure its clean and up to shape. Iv always performed Regular Oil changes with 5w-30 synthetic and Mann Oil Filter. New fuel filter, new cabin air filter(during the 2010 service and 2012 when wheel bearing was done), K&N Drop filter. I have also flushed and filled the brake fluid in 11' and 12' after the main service when it was done initially. I normally order all my maintenance parts from Minicarparts.net for jobs I would do when attending to the car.

Summer (July/August) 2010@39xxx miles: Mini received over $4,400 in maintenance work by Autobahn Services and work performed by the owner/master tech: Clutch Kit, Pressure Plate bolt, Rear Crankshaft Oil Seal, Control Arm Bushings, Belt Tensioner Assembly, Serpentine Belt, Tensioner Roller, Water Pump, Thermostat Kit, New Antifreeze, Engine Mount, Cabin Filter, Air Filter, Spark Plugs-NGK BKR6EQUP, Brake Fluid, one brand new Goodyear Eagle1 run flat 205/45/17, mount and balance, valve stem, weights, Tubing for manifold, Parking Brake Adjustment, Center **** for GPS replaced, and a full wheel alignment. ALL Factory OEM parts were used and have the shop receipt to show.

12/2012- Brand new driver side wheel bearing done. The car had a brand new gasket molding/weather strip installed that goes around the hatch door when popped open and all the drain tubes were opened and cleaned. ZERO leaks all around.

The paint shows very nice, and I did detail the car in 2011 (clay bar, polish, wax etc). With another detailing now it would truly bring the paint out even nicer. Overall the paint is very pretty and the body/chassis is true, straight, and looks really good. The passenger side door right under the mirror has a real very tiny dent/dimple, and a couple gauges on the rear bumper and a dent on the trunk from shutting it too hard. The dents could easily be removed by PDR (Paintless Dent Removal). The car has NO history of any wrecks or even light fender benders, nothing. Everything on the car works and it will not disappoint. The Mini gets nearly 35-39mpg. Excellent gas mileage on a full tank.

Mechanically/Drivetrain wise the car starts, warms up, and runs beautiful. Zero leaks, steers tight, and runs very healthy. The entire clutch system is BRAND NEW and all the items listed above under the main service we did. I have every single record/book/manuals/receipts, and a full factory set of original keys. Three(3) Original keys plus a additional valet key.

Please no tire kickers, and no joy rides. Asking $9,200. We have a very little bit of wiggle room to make a deal happen.
Clean and Free Title on hand.
