Does this seem too cheap?

I spent months trying to find a nice late R56 Cooper S with the JCW aerokit option as I wanted a specific colour scheme (red & black roof) and the N18 engine. There are not many really good examples out there in that spec, despite MINIs in general being so prolific on our roads.

The price on that green one does seem very reasonable (less popular colour I guess, could knock up to a grand or so off?) considering the mileage isn't too bad. It does have a slight whiff of bellendery what with the stickers and tints, but I guess they could be peeled off.
Looks like they've added a JCW exhaust, probably added later, although that is no bad thing. Check the history, in particular how many previous owners.

Jump on the Luxe works facebook group and find out more .... doesn't look too bad, it looks like its been lowered, the spec looks ok, heated front screen is a nice option too

Green not a poplar colour and difficult to sell.

Mines up for sale in a lot better colour with full leather previously listed on pistonheads booked in for MOT next week. and unlike ad above isn't just a list of the cars features.
Creaky knee and ankle meant replacing it with a DCT auto F56 Cooper S
