Description:

Hello and thanks for looking!
This outstanding 2003 MINI is almost a part of the family. It's such a great car and a blast to drive. It has served us extremely well for almost 13 years...but we've made the switch to an electric car and we just don't need 2 vehicles.
I spec'd this car out and eagerly watched online as it was built in the UK in 2002, when the new minis first came on the scene (this being the 2nd model year in the US). We took delivery at Long Beach BMW/MINI in October 2002.
The car has been garaged 90% of its life and, as city dwellers, we've only put 76k miles on it. Lots of life left in this fun little go-cart! There are a few minor dings you'd expect after 13 years, which I've tried to highlight with lots of photos, but its in remarkably good shape. Here are some features:
Velvet Red with white top and mirrors, an uncommon color and still with mirror finish. A rust-free California car!
Sport package which included Dynamic Stability Control, handling upgrades, and the most comfortable seats I've ever driven in--lumbar and side bolsters hold you snug while you inevitably take those turns faster than you should!
6 airbags including side curtains.Multi-function tilt steering wheel with cruise and music controls at your fingertips.Automatic climate control (i.e. set it like a thermostat rather than fiddling with red and blue sliders...)Trip computer on the tach display that toggles through MPG, range remaining, average speed, and exterior temperature.
Power mirrors, locks, and windows with auto-down feature.Panoramic sliding and tilting moonroof.MINI factory roof racks (can be removed and white covers slipped over the receiving bolts).Rubber OEM footwell mats.'LATCH' car seat system restraint system.
Rear cargo area cover.
Here are some extras and mods I made over the years as well:
S-style clear side turn indicators. I think I still have the original orange and black plastic ones if wanted.
European parcel shelf substitution for solid bolster at driver's knees. Still have the solid bit if wanted.Larger rear spoiler.
2005(?) OEM MINI tail lights that include integrated white reverse lights (originally, the design only had the single reverse light in middle of bumper, which I thought a safety issue--now all 3 lights go on when you put it in reverse. I have the original tail lights if wanted).Dash and glovebox partitions for extra storage.A custom fit car cover, which we only used the first 8 months when we didn't have a garage and has been packed up ever since.
Mechanically, I'm aware of no major mechanical issues. I'll provide the complete service records to the buyer. Note:
New rear tires this year. Fronts are pretty good but probably due soon.
New steering rack, radiator and power steering pump this year.Clutch and brake pads were both done within last few years.The car is also advertised locally so I reserve the right to cancel this ad at any time. For non-local potential buyers, I'll be happy to work with you logistically, but won't incur any costs of shipping. The car is sold as-is, no warranty expressed or implied. Many thanks for your interest, and don't hesitate to ask me any questions using the contact seller link! -Jason
