2003 base MINI Cooper 2-door Hatchback; very rare combination of upgrade options MINI is owned by BMW; the ride and handling reflect that heritage. This car is just plain FUN to drive. This particular combination of options (Dynamic Stability Control, Harmon Kardon audio, 16" wheels, etc.) is VERY hard to find without incurring the additional upfront purchase, insurance and maintenance costs of buying the "S" model. I doubt that a similarly equipped base MINI Cooper is for sale in the entire Midwest right now. We're selling because my wife just got a newer (2012) MINI, so obviously this car did not change our very positive opinion about owning MINI Coopers. THIS CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. Aside from a few small dings on the hood from road debris kicked up by other cars, the body sheet metal on this car is in near-showroom condition. EPA mileage rating: 28 city / 37 highway. Since the first of the year we've had the following work done on this car: 01/26/16 ($1,044): New fuel pump, New brake pads and rotors (rear), new ignition wire set, replace valve cover gasket, buff cloudiness off of both headlight lenses. 01/26/16 ($1,044): Replaced original clutch with new clutch assembly (all genuine MINI parts) Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Standard Comfort and Convenience Features Air Conditioning with microfllter and air-recirculationRemote entry, including 2-step unlocking and remote trunk releaseAnti-theft CD audio system with AM/FM radio, 6 speakers, presets, auxiliary input ready, satellite radio ready and pre-wired for 6-disc CD changerSpeed-sensitive intermittent windshield wipersPower windows with "one-touch" down operationService interval indicator with miles-to-service readoutCheck control vehicle monitor system with pictogram displaySplit fold down rear seats for expandable cargo spacePower exterior mirror controlXenon interior lightingClimate controlled glovebox (Yes, you can actually chill a bottle of wine or a few beers in the glovebox)The car is also listed on local sale sites, so I reserve the right to end this auction early if the car sells first through one of those sites.As for payment, I know in the past eBay only allowed a down payment ($500 I think) via PayPal, but I can't find new information on their current policy, though it sounds in places like PayPal (and, therefore, PayPal Buyer's Credit - no interest or payments for 6 months) might be an option. If so, I'll accept that. I'll do some more research, but contact me via the listing for specific payment options and/or suggestions. Ill update the payment options as I learn more.
