Used 2003 MINI Cooper for sale near Seattle, WA

Great People at this shop. Bought a few cars from here. Very straightforward people and tell you how it is. Which is what you want! Easy. Allowed me to have vehicle inspected before purchase. Most dealers will not let you do that! Was out the door with no issues.

I absolutely loved my Mini until it hit 80,000 miles. When the trans went followed in 5000 miles by the clutch, I was done. I guess I could've kept it to see if I had weathered the storm, but I was out of money by then. Engine parts and repairs are astronomically expensive. It was sad, but I had to. I still miss that car!

I bought the 03 cooper S as it has always been my dream car. Growing up around them, I always knew what styling I wanted. She has decent mileage for her age (241000km/ 150000mi) Picking her up was an epic day followed by a majestic drive through the mountains for the 4 hours home. Driving my lowered beast, sunroof open and riding her like i stole it. Then the fun started about a month later. First to go was the radiator. Then on further inspection, she got a full braking system, hubs and bearings. It then led to full front cv axle replacement plus upper and lower control arm replacements. Oh and a thermostat and housing. Finished over $2800 in work over a 6 week span for the serpentine to blow and take the pulleys and tensioner with it. Lets call it another $500 in. Now that being said, all the maintenance prior done included some major repairs; new timing, new supercharger and sunroof motor. The way i see it, yes i may have put in a bit extra to her but she is going to last me for many years to come. And she is worth every penny. So yes - buy the car. Have the fun. Just remember that even the best documented maintained vehicles can have issues.
