For sale is my 2005 R53 Mini Cooper JCW with just under 92,700 miles on the odo as of today, located in Kirkland, WA. I've had this car for nearly 5 years now (had it shipped here from CA), and put ~22k miles on it in that time. But it's time to let go so that someone else that shares my longstanding obsession with the Italian Job can partake in the fun I don't drive much any more (pandemic and all), can't park where I work, my kids are all grown up and don't fit in the back seat, and I don't have time to maintain this baby. Car runs great, lots of updates (see below). I still feel 10 years younger each time I drive it (your mile-age may vary).

Highlights:

• Regular oil changes at Mini dealership or Mini-certified shops only (Zahntech and Signature BMW)
• BRAND NEW brakes front and back pads, rotors and sensors - $1050 on 04/03/19
• BRAND NEW Bridgestone Potenza Tires 215/40 R18 at Costco - Q1 2020
• BRAND NEW clutch, rear axle, valve cover gaskets - Q4 2019
• BRAND NEW battery installted 5/13/20 (30 months warranty at Signature BMW)
• Includes original car cover

Lowlights:

• Front fender needs to be replaced as it has come loose from a few skirmishes with grocery parking lot concrete barriers. Discounted price to reflect this.
• A few minor topical scratches/scrapes/dings from usage in Seattle, likely easy to spray over with original factory color paint.

LOGISTICS: I know it's a weird time to sell a car... so please let me know if you would like more pictures. Please plan on first doing a FaceTime, Google Hangouts, Zoom or WhatsApp video meeting where I'm happy to do a virtual walkthrough and point out anything you're interested in, will drive the car around, show you the paperwork/title, etc. After we have established mutual trust/seriousness, we can figure out and move to safe next steps. I will accept cash, PayPal or Venmo only.

Beautiful well optioned Mini. PM sent.

 

Great looking car!

quick note: this is Hyper Blue not Laser Blue.

 

Beautiful car. I assume by front fender needs to be replaced you mean the plastic fender trim.

 

Good call on the color, I believe you're right thanks! Updated the listing. I'm going to claim pandemic brain ha ha

 

There is no collision damage, but it got ripped off at the right side from its point of contact. Would that be just the plastic trim? Collision specialist told me that the front bumper needs to be replaced... but maybe it's not that bad. I'd assume worst case.

 

Sent you a PM as well.

 

I would have been all over this earlier this year. I ended up buying an 06 from Spokane in February and drove it back to Bellevue. GLWS.

 

Oh nice, congrats on yours! Yeah these are hard to find... Thanks for the good vibes, and hoping to sell to someone from here that I know truly loves these

 

Sale pending.

 

Damnit! A few days too late. lol

 

It just sold over the weekend, good luck with your search!
