GP #0829 Still For Sale @ Concord Motorsport NH

I just wanted to let people know that GP #0829 is still for sale at Concord Motorsport located at 169 Dover Road Chichester, NH. On 5/5/10, they reduced the Price. This GP has LOW Miles! Has only 14,163 Miles on the Odometer. Still has a remaining MINI Factory Warranty until 10/21/2010.

Asking Price is $26,750.00. They will take any Reasonable Offer though.

NOTICE: They will NOT accept Trade-Ins towards this MINI Cooper GP. (When I was looking for a GP, I asked if I could trade my Car in but was told that this is a Co-Signment sale)

Here is the link to AD on Concord Motorsport Website: http://www.concordmotorsport.com/det...d-4822703.html

Please Note: I was asked by one of the people at Concord Motorsport, that if I know of anyone who might be interested in buying this GP, to tell them about it. I figured I would start here first.

I inquired about this unit. They told me they would not accept a mid-$20k offer. Not sure how much they are willing to negotiate from the list, perhaps just grand or so.

I would try again, since they reduced the price recently. You won't know unless you ask.

thanks. I may do that. I saw this unit in Texas. For about $22k, it seems to be a bit more reasonable/fair given the current economic climate. It does have more miles tho.

Wow this one even has the "trunk candy" (you know, the stuff in the hidden floor compartment in back) the goodies were missing from mine. I'd love to find that missing stuff someday. Anyone have a list of the OEM kit?

The only thing that came with the GP was the gray bag with the 4 orange jack blocks. EU versions also had a road emergency triangle that folds and is in a blue case, is fits in the slot in the middle of the two wells.

Here is the link to AD on Concord Motorsport Website: http://www.concordmotorsport.com/det...d-4822703.html

Those two tubes on the lower, rear of the NEW HAMPSHIRE car -- are those for a bike rack? If so, does that mean the installation of the bike rack kit required drilling into the rear skirt?

Yes that is for a mini-fini rear rack. That particular style of bike rack requires holes being cut for the mounting arms.

Most people think that it gives the car a "james bond" look. I don't think that it looks too bad given the extra functionality that it adds. Certainly looks better than the drilled roof for a roof rack on a GP.

Called today and its been sold for less than asking price. These sales prices are really hard to gauge.

Those elusive Jack blocks! We discussed them on another thread here. Do you or any other GP owners have a picture of those blocks. I know they have a function but I'd like to see how I'd mod some or figure out a workaround, when I need to jack the bad boy up.

I'll take a PIC of the Orange Lifting Blocks that came with my GP.

I hope that when you have work done on your GP, that you take it to a MINI Dealer because they should have a Extra Set of the Lifting Blocks on Hand in case someone doesn't have any or forgot them at home. I was told the Lifting Blocks are REQUIRED when lifting the GP, so that you don't damage the Body.
