Thumbs up 2002 Mini Cooper R53 ,fully loaded needs trans

Name: Max
Location: Northern Virginia-Stafford
Means of contact: email (Maxin8r95@yahoo.com) or text (540) 846-7615
Price: $6500obo

Description:
Unfortunately i need to sell my 02 r53 because I do not have the means to pay for a new transmission. Last week the trans decided to go, and as a broke college student I do not have the income to take care of it so I'm going to sell it.

Car is being sold as a whole, I am not going to part it out.




A little bit about the car: I'm the 3rd owner of this '02 MCS and it is an absolute machine. A lot has been done to it, and both the engine and the chassis have less than 70k on it.

What its got:
-Xenon headlights
-Leather Seats
-Sunroof
-Heated seats
-Comes with original S-Lite wheels and a set of new rota rb's that i just had powdercoated black. The rotas also have a new set of Goodyear Eagle F1 asymmetric tires on them, less than 500 miles on them .
-Car has the JCW aero kit from the factory, matches body color
-Drilled and slotted rotors
-Carbon fiber mirror caps
-Detroit Tuned BPV
-Alta adjustable sway bar
-Alta cold air intake
-Alta 15% pulley
-Alta cat back exhaust, stealth black
-Megan Racing Coilovers
-Rear brake calipers are only a few years old
-Rear seat delete, comes with the rear seat if you want it
-Aftermarket speakers and a 6inch bazooka sub
-Devils Own Methanol Injection kit which is run off of the PSI of the supercharger, fully adjustable and automated.
-Performance ECU remap by IMA Motorwerk in Chantilly, VA
-Sprint Booster
-Blu-tooth OBDII reader
-Prosport boost gauge that matches other gauges
-Control arm bushings were done less than 10k miles ago
-Have original suspension
-Bentley maintenance manual included
-Comes with a brake bleeder kit
-Car just had the head gasket replaced and a lot of minor things that I had -done up in Alexandria by mini, and I can show documentation to prove it
-Has an aftermarket stereo with an aux input


-This car is pushing a little bit north of 200hp following the ecu remap and methanol injection kit


There is probably more that I am forgetting, if you have any questions shoot me a pm, I want to sell this car as a whole and I do not wish to part it out. The only thing that it needs is a new trans, other than that this car is absolutely cherry. Please no low ballers, there is a lot of money in this car alone and it is worth every penny.

If you change your mind on selling some of the parts I'm interested in the wheels.
The methanol kit.
And the pro sport boost gauge.
Let me know, sucks about your mini.

If it comes down to a part out, I'll let you know.

As a side note to anyone the price is definitely negotiable and 6500 is kind of a pipe dream at the moment.

I can get a used '05 trans with 56k miles on it for 900 bucks, but at the moment I do not have the means or the time to install it being at college. A shop quoted me around 3k if i provided parts, and if i were to buy a re-manufactured trans from bmw it would cost 3 grand alone, which would put the total cost up around 6000..

That definitely could be done, the issue at this point becomes money. Having a quick little car is an expensive hobby, and since I am a student I don't really have the means or the time to keep up with it at the moment. Im just trying to get some cash in my pocket to put towards something reliable until after school.

What's your bottom dollar price? You can keep the Rotas. We both know 6500 is too much for an r53 that needs a trans.
