Mini Cooper S (2004)
for sale

Price: US $8,900.00

Description:

Selling my rare example of an R53 2004 Mini Cooper S in excellent unmolested condition, with the dealer-installed John Cooper Works kit. It's a rare whole-body paint scheme in British Racing Green, as opposed to the typical white or black roof. It also excludes the moon roof option, which for the performance-minded folks is a big deal for the weight reduction that improves handling characteristics by lowering the center of gravity. It has really low mileage for the year (I ride motorcycles for as long as NE weather allows), and it's in excellent condition inside and out (the exterior has a couple of very minor blemishes, nothing noticeable until they're pointed out). It has only seen a couple of New England winters, so there's NO RUST! I'm also friends with the previous owner, so I can give you a full history* of the car if you're interested (*hint: it was a garage/show queen and won awards).
The JCW kit from 2004 included:
+ performance tuned ECU
+ upgraded supercharger and intake
+ performance stainless exhaust
+ upgraded brakes
+ 18 R95 John Cooper Works Star Spoke Alloy Wheels
Factory options include:
+ Leather seats

+ Rubber cargo mat with cargo net
+ Mini sun shade and outdoor car cover
A few tasteful improvements have been made:
+ Ireland Engineering Fixed Camber Plates for immediate turn-in
+ M7 Strut Brace with strut plates to prevent strut tower mushrooming
+ H-Sport adjustable 25.5 mm rear sway bar
+ H-Sport adjustable 27 mm front sway bar
+ Alta cold air intake
+ Vibra-Technics upper engine mount
+ Ireland Engineering stainless steel brake lines
+ Clear bra on the front and review mirrors
+ Windows tinted as dark as Massachusetts law will allow
All maintenance is up to date. Recent major service within the past 12 months includes:
+ Supercharger service = $1, 400! (recommended at 80k miles, but it was done proactively at 60k)
+ Serpentine belt replaced
+ Front and rear brake service, with new rotors, pads, and fluid
+ New Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires, with 95% tread remaining (and the grip is amazing!)
+ Multiple oil changes, fully synthetic, OEM spec
+ Spark plugs, wires, and coil pack all replaced
+ Replaced failed OEM upper engine mount (very common), with high-end Vibra Technics mount
Service performed by Greasy's Garage (best Mini specialists in NE!), or by Eurotech Motosport (BMW & Mini), or by yours truly (25 years of wrenching on cars and bikes).
One *very* minor accident, where another driver scraped their car's nose on the Mini's right rear fender and rear bumper corner (see picture). It was repaired by Herb Chambers collision center and you'd never know it happened unless I told you.
If you're a Mini lover, come see the car - it's an awesome example and with low mileage for the year, and a ton of fun to drive.
Payment will be made in person, with either cash or a certified bank check.
