Used 2003 MINI Cooper S Sport R53 6spd Borla Exhaust FS/FT for sale in New Boston, MI

Please reply via email exchange, with unique message to distinguish you as a potential buyer. Service Engine Soon light is on because the catalytic converter has been removed/deleted.

I resurrected this highly optioned MINI for my wife last year. I approached the project with great care and attention to detail since this would be her car. Bringing it back to life has been a fun and rewarding experience, but it's time to let this one go- she wants a convertible. All of the common nickle-and-dime maintenance items have been addressed- see full disclosure on parts I bought. The car operates and drives excellent- we drive it often commuting 65 miles r/t. It's ready for daily driving, "fun" car status, or to become a track toy.

2003 S, 6spd, supercharged, 154,xxx miles (currently plated and insured, miles could increase). The Harman Kardon stereo system works! Xenon headlights w/ washer feature, clear tail light option, power steering, brakes, windows, locks, glass roof, power mirrors, airbags galore. Power steering pump replaced under MINI recall by MINI of Ann Arbor on 5/20/16. Engine compression measured 175psi across all cylinders. A cylinder leak-down test held 90psi across all cylinder.
