need opinions and info

hello all, ive been out of the mini seen since 09. i had an 06 copperS that was supper charged with RMW'S ported head, M-7 intake, m-7 intercooler, smaller pully, aftermarket down pipe and catback exhaust and a custom tune and had all my work done at Helix -13. I really loved that mini and the reponse of the supercharged engine and now im in a position to get another mini and came across what i think is a g]really good deal but, i wanted to get some opinions from coup owners.

the car in question is a 2014 mini cooperS coupe with 43,343 miles, one owner and when i say its in mint condition, I mean there not so much as a swirl mark in the paint. it looks like it just came off the delivery truck. not even one rock chip. it has 7000.00 worth of up grades

white silver metallic paint=17" black alloy wheels=leather lounge interior, jcw package=anti-theft alarm and too much to type right now. he's asking 14,900 , its on consignment and the guy selling it for the owner told me if i offered 14,000 they would take. it

so my question is 1) is this a good price for a mini coupe this old /
quest; 2) i can't leave a car stock and will want to upgrade it, can this car get 250.hp to the wheels and still be reliable as my super charged mcs was with 224whp and 202 tq? thanks in advance to all that reply

What are the $7,000 of upgrades? $14,000 seems like it could be a decent deal. It should have the latest N18 engine spec, which can definitely give you 250hp. Im pushing that much in my Clubman, and I have an older N18 engine, and still running the original turbo.

I went over the car front the back and I couldn’t find so much as a squirrel Mark much less a scratch or ruptured or any type of defect. I can’t believe there’s 43,000 miles on it. The owner Musta only driving it back-and-forth to the grocery store… LOL
