Description:
For any inquiries please PM me.
Up for sale is my R53 Mini Cooper S, I have owned it since 2016 and it has served me as my daily commuter and weekend track day / autocross car. I am a Audi dealership technician and the car has been meticulously maintained and serviced by me. The car is heavily modified, it is NOT a comfortable car. Has a stiff suspension, full header and exhaust, polyurethane engine mounts and suspension mounts and as a result a noisy interior. If you are expecting a quiet commuter car, this is not the vehicle for you. Vehicle sold as is, I am as transparent as possible about the condition of the car.
