2003 Mini Cooper S
Very clean, 38 mpg, COLD A/C, HOT heat, Supercharged with 6 speed manual. Very fun car to drive!
Background on the car- Bought the car from a 45 year old Mini Cooper enthusiast. He was very meticulous and knew absolutely everything about a Mini Cooper a guy could know, and he had a few different Mini's. He did the normal tasteful modifications to the car for a Mini Cooper of its Era as well as maintenance too. Supercharger oil, pulley, Alta tune, Alta air filter, cat back exhuast, Cooling fan relay mod, larger intercooler. I have had zero issues with the car in the last several years ive owned it. My Wife and I just drove it out to Green Bay, WI recently (4.5hr one way; 9hr round trip). Thats how dependable and trustworthy it is... and we have 3 other daily drivers to use. I just drive it and listen to the cool supercharger noises. I dont beat on it, I never race it, I just drive it to commute around (it fits everywhere) and its fun to drive around.
-Car is equipped with the fuel efficient 1.6L Supercharged 4 cylinder engine. Powerful and peppy powertrain for the car. The car is rated at 38MPG on the highway and around 29MPG in city type driving and it gets at least that if not better. Very smooth and comfortable car with regular maintenance completed. I bought the car about 3 years ago because I've always wanted a Mini, fun to drive, it fits in any parking spot, and the great fuel mileage. Car has mostly been commuted on the freeway and has very well maintained easy highway miles... has roughly 161k miles on it. Has newer brakes, oil change, etc recently done.
-Mechanically the car is great in my opinion considering the age. The engine runs as smooth as a swiss watch and has all of the power that it did like it was new (actually significantly more). Has no issues that would need attention (just drove it 9hrs round trip)!! The transmission shifts perfectly and nice and smooth, clutch is in good shape and it is very easy to drive. The steering is nice and tight and drives straight down the road. The brakes are powerful and responsive (newer). The suspension rides great and is tight and comfortable. Tires are still good, about 70% tread remaining. HOT Heat and COLD A/C!!!!!!
It is a 2003 Mini so with that its not perfect but miniscule such as the parking brake needs to be adjusted, the drivers window needs to be adjusted (I put a window regulator in and I didnt get it adjusted perfect but its very close), could use a valve cover gasket if you wanted but not needed right away. Id drive it to any state in the country today from AZ to FL to NY and not think twice.
-Car is equipped nicely.... Heated seats (very hot and work great), power windows, power locks, power mirrors, Great Stereo, Navigation that does work, Map lights, rear seats fold down, CRUISE CONTROL, 6 way adjust seat, Lots of storage compartments, remote trunk release, Keyless entry, and much more that im sure im forgetting.
-The interior is in great shape and clean, no major staining. It has the rare and sought after blue leather interior. Nearly no visible signs of any type of wear on the seats, carpet, buttons etc. It really is that nice. the car has been kept perfectly clean and treated with respect. Everything on the interior works... windows, buttons, lights etc, everything.
-The exterior is clean for the year of the vehicle. Paint has a great glossy shine to it. Has no major body damage or major dents. Car was always kept clean on the outside just like it was on the inside and it shows. It does have the typical parking lot door ding and scratch/scuff... you have to look for them but they are there here or there. Minor rust bubble on the rear but nothing major or noticeable.
Very reliable car that needs nothing but a driver. All maintenance done and is ready to go. We would drive this car across country over and over and not think twice.
Clean and clear title in hand signed and ready to go.
