Description:
Hey Guys- I'm reluctantly listing my R53 2005 Mini Cooper S for sale. I absolutely love this car, it is a blast to drive. This is a zero stories car, it is in excellent condition, and I wouldn't hesitate to drive it cross country tomorrow. I purchased this car from my Uncle (original owner) back in 2014, he was getting into his late 60's and needed a car that was a little easier to get in & out of. Driving home to Indiana from South Carolina in 2014, the supercharger failed. A new supercharger, water pump, and thermostat was installed by Mini of Knoxville, TN. The car has been completely trouble free ever since, only requiring routine maintenance. I hate to sell it, but I'm out of garage space now that I just recently picked up a Cayenne GTS from a fellow Rennlister.
This Mini is a fantastic and economical daily driver that looks less than ½ its age and mileage. It would also make an ideal first car for a teenager.
