2006 JCW GP #0489 For Sale

I've decided to sell my 2006 JCW GP #0489, VIN: WMWRE93546YB72109. The car has been an absolute dream of mine, and I'm reluctant to sell her. The reason for selling is that we now have a child, and she just doesn't get driven enough. In all honesty, she's been under her GP car cover in the heated garage since late December/January hooked to a trickle charger.

I'm going to include as much detail as I can about the car since my ownership. I purchased GP #0489 on 21 July 2014 with roughly 45,xxx miles on her. She currently has 61,165 miles on her. Below is a breakdown of things I've done since owning the car:

8/10/2014 46,189 miles - installed new front emblem (previous emblem was weathered)
9/1/2014 46,401 miles - oil changed, new cabin air filter, new air filter
3/24/2015 50,167 miles - Continental DW 215/40R18 tires mounted onto factory wheels - alignment performed as well
4/10/2015 50,483 miles - replaced all 3 power steering lines due to a leak, also replaced power steering fan as well. Changed oil and filter. Added factory stubby antenna and factory cigarette lighter blank from MINI.
11/22/2015 55,879 miles - Changed oil and filter. Checked tire PSI.
3/3/2016 56,213 miles - Had headlight rings, gas cap and door handles wrapped with 3M matte black bra
3/9/2016 56,479 miles - Install Factory JCW Aero Grille
4/3/2016 57,386 miles - Installed Factory Front Sport Rotors, Hawk Break Pads and added Stainless Steel brake lines from Detroit Tuned. Bled front brakes after install.
4/4/2016 57,438 miles - Installed lower dash trim panel
4/25/2016 57,902 miles - Installed 18" Forgeline RB3C Wheels/tires
7/4/2016 58,614 miles - Oil change and filter
1/2/2017 61,185 miles - Installed 205/40R18 Nitto NeoGen tires onto factory GP rims

Please note that all the service above was completed by myself. The Forgeline wheels are for sale under the sale forum, and looked perfect on the GP. The new tires have absolutely zero miles on them, since mounting them onto the car and putting the cover on her.

Everyone knows how rare the GP is, only 2000 made, 415 of them came to the states, yada yada yada. I'm not going to mention all the specs of the vehicle, because if you are looking you already know the details. I can tell you is that I've treated this car with lots of love and she hasn't been abused. Never a track day, she was never a daily driver as I have other vehicles to drive - and she never saw snow while I had her. I'm not pressed to sell her, so I'm not looking for trades or low ball offers. I'll answer any questions you might have about the GP, and be honest and forward.

There is a 3M clear bra on the front of the car, this includes, half the hood, the bumper and mirror caps. There are several nicks in the bra, but the paint looks to be unharmed. The factory jacking blocks are included with the car, as well as both keys, and owners manual. I still have the factory radio which I can include as well. From the pics you can see the addition of a front strut bar, which was already on the car when I purchased it. This GP also has the factory gauge pod above the steering wheel to show boost and voltage of the battery.

The only known issue is a very minor oil leak near the oil pan. I was told about this during the alignment. I tend to get a drip or two ever so often on the garage floor, and just haven't got around to changing the oil pan myself since the leak has only been minor. Besides from this leak, the car is flawless. Pics are below, you'll noticed a hood scoop that has been painted to match the Chili Red of the mirror caps. If you would prefer the stock hood scoop, I can purchase one from MINI and provide it with the purchase of the GP - I already have the factory GP sticker which adheres to the hood scoop.

I have the title in hand, and can answer any questions you might have, just PM me or email me at simpsoap@gmail.com.

ASKING $18,300 OBO

Thank you!

BUMP....$17,800 OBO.....

FWIW - Stock Hood Scoop is getting painted this week and the GP Decal will be applied as well. The Chili Red hood scoop will come with the purchase as well.

The headlight rings, door handles and gas cap have been covered with a matte black 3M bra, which could removed if you prefer. I have an extra set of OE door handles included with the car as well if you preferred to just sell the black wrapped handles and install the OE polished-finish handles.

Shipping is always an option, that's how I got this beauty to my place back when I purchased her!
