In the market for a GP

I am currently looking at buying a new Mini in January but before I go down that route I want to take a look at getting a GP. If anyone see one goes up for sale please let me know.

U Can't go wrong with a GP - if ya can find a good one - there's a nice deal in Temecula for one with 19K miles - if I have the guys e mail address still - I'll PM ya with it. (shipping a car with UShip.com shouldn't cost more than $500)

1426 in Riverside is 28K (20K miles and was previously owned by a NAM member)
0193 in Irvine is 28.5K (23K miles and I was unable to get a response from the NAM member that previously owned it)

I'm sure you can haggle both of them to the 25-26 range
1426 is at a CarMax so you'll have a harder time haggling them on the price (I already tried, they ceased to respond to my emails at that point).

GP 0089 is looking for a good home

I own GP 0089 and have decided to begin to search for a new home for it. GP 0089 was picked up in NJ during the initial MINI Takes the States event. It is completely stock except for an auto up function for the windows I installed that I got from Ian Cull.

It has always been garaged and serviced every 5K with Mobil 1. It currently has 22K miles and has the extended MINI warranty that is transferable. It is located near Knoxville, TN.

The car has brand new tires (the runflats are way too loud) and is in perfect condition. I am an engineer nearing retirement and no longer need 2 MINIs. I also have an 03 S.

PM me if you are interested.

Soooooo, you guys are the ones who got it... A friend of ours was supposed to get that car... then the last minute, the guy sold it out from under her, said he got a buyer from NM. ... NICE. I have known that car for quite a while..

GP1426

I just bought it from carmax.
Are there any posts regarding 1426? Someone mentioned that the original owner was a previous NAM member.

NAM member 'hodori' posted that he bought it new. I tried contacting him through PM/email when I was interested in that GP but he never replied.

The picture of the hood scoop appears to have a replacement aftermarket GP decal. The original is matte black whereas this one is shiny.
