2004 Cooper S, supercharged, 27,000 km (about 17,000 original miles)
I bought it off the original owner, who used it as a summer, cottage run around. Still has original run flats from 2004 - they will be changed out. All meticulous dealer service records came with the car. The original purchase price in 2004 was $44,500 CAN$!
It has leather, sunroof, rain sensing wipers, computer, Harmon Kardon sound, sport package, premium package heated seats. There isn't a mark on it. The underside looks showroom clean. Looking forward to just driving it around and having fun.
Great find!

I have a 2006 MCS since new (now 188K miles) and love it. You cannot beat the responsiveness of the car.

Items to keep an eye on are the thermostat and housing and water pump (driven off the SC), the passenger side motor mount, and the belt tensioner (DIY replacement). The power steering pump is the subject of a recall notice.

Enjoy!
