don't forget Shawn's GP in Honolulu. I was trying to get things worked out to purchase this one. Monterey delivery with under 8k miles.

And then there is 1477 in Seattle.

Add in these and the total rises to 9 GP's that are for sale.

Oh forgot, 0203 was also recently listed on Gpmini.net, so that makes 7 total for sale at the moment.

Edit: forgot one more. Prestige MINI has one on their website (need to search under new car listings) but the price is so ridiculous that I don't really count that one.

Guess you can tell Ive been looking recently

Not sure, but from what people have posted it sounds suspect with missing numbers and parts. My internet contact inquiry returned a reply of "it has sold" from one of the sales people.

I figure it would have sold at that price. I would seriously pick it up at that price and return it to its former glory. I have been looking to pick up a GP for awhile.

0256 might be back up for sale. I have a funny feeling it isnt going to go thru.

Dang it, great looking car FlynScot - great price too. If I could get rid of my 05 MCS I'd jump on it! If you'd be interested in selling that JCW steering wheel separately let me know. And good luck with the sale of the car.

I would also like to point out your pictures are terrible. Are you trying to hide the flaws?

Whatever!!!!!!! This is the only pictures I had at the moment. There is nothing wrong with the Car, No flaws that I can see and unless you are thinking about buying Keep your remarks to yourself. I can send a couple of high res pictures to whomever wants them. This car is a very nice example of a non abused GP. Whoever wins the auvtion will get a great car!!

That's a poor excuse when you are trying to sell a very expensive item.

I don't recall you mentioning that until now. Better yet did you mention that in your auction?

unless you are thinking about buying Keep your remarks to yourself.
As a matter of fact I am considering a GP, and will pay cash for it, but rest assured it will not be yours. If you are going to get bent out of shape over someone asking you to post better pics then I can only image how you'd handle a more pressing issue.

Try not to forget this is a public forum. Learning how to take a little criticism and responding in a positive manner will do wonders.

Gp

Everyone that has sent me emails via Ebay have recieved a response, and sent additional information and pictures. This car is a great example and fully documented. There is a small blemish on the IP there is a small indentation on the fender, you can only see it at certain angles and the passenger mirror has a little scratch on it. You have to remember it is a 2006 model, it is not perfect. I have had many emails from prospictive buyers, everyone of them pleased with my response. I have nothing to hide. This is my second GP, the other I have sold to a person on this forum and they are more than happy with the way I treated them. I have a chance to buy another car and would really like to sell this if I dont sell it I will take it to the dragon. and hopefully sell it there.

FYI, I bought GP0256, Jim is a stand up guy and the pictures did not do the car justice, it is as clean as it was coming out of the showroom. Also, Thank You for not buying it! I love the car and wouldn't trade it for anything.

+1 for Jim. Cash talks bull$hit walks. If pics were the only thing hanging up a sale, I'd say keep searching local. There will never be great pics that detail a car enough.
