I have been spending ages trying to find a cooper s that is suitable and it is proving so much more difficult than I thought!

Why is it SO difficult finding a Facelift Cooper S with panoramic sunroof AND harmon kardon AND LSD (not that LSD is that important to me!)

Are these specs that rare in a 2-3yo car for under £12,500?? Also, if you know of one around, please help me out

What mileage/what colour?

joshie · Mar 24th, 2008, 05:23 PM

I am hoping for something for 30k or less. I don't want electric blue full stop... My least favourites are dark grey and red, however if something came up in these that was a good deal I would take it. All other colours I like..

I'm pretty sure I've searched every used car site online!

2/3 year old MCS for £12.5 is a little low for what you want. IMO of course....

Your looking around £14-16K for that spec depending on mileage.

Try Ebay there are few on it with that kind of spec for that sort of money.

HK and Sunroof are options that total up to the best part of £1.5k as an option, so you will be looking towards £14-£16k bracket... you'll also get a MINI with a lot less miles on it too.

I bought a May 2006 S with literally every option on it for shy of £17k (including FULL Recaros), you'll easily be able to get what you want, in a colour you love, with a few more options for a good £2.5k more... Depends what your budget is.

HK is probably the best interior option you can get, along with anthracite roof...

I did a search on MINI Cherished, but couldn't find anything

I wouldn't restrict my choice of a used Cooper S by insisting on HK and I certainly wouldn't pay any more for one with it fitted. Okay, so the HK system is better than nothing, but the nice thing about the original generation of Cooper S is that it is very easy to upgrade the original sound system to something noticably better than the HK system for very sensible money.

In fact, if sound quality is important to you, you'd probably wind up binning the HK system anyway and going to see Mikeythemini to get a proper sound system!

Here's a good one at around your budget with a sunroof, a Sony CD player and a nice colour:
