My wife forces the sale of my most prized possession.
One toy only allowed and the Elise has arrived.
2003 Mini Cooper S
Indi Blue, Black Interior
White Top and Mirrors

It came with every option offered by Mini at the time except NAV and backup sensor.
Including: Sunroof, Sport Package Cold and Hot Weather package, Premium Interior
It has 15,700 miles.

The oil and filter are changed at least every 3 months, usually 3 times during the summer.

Adult owned and driven. Everything works. It has no dents or scratches. Never wrecked. Driven only by myself.

It has never seen a dealer and has never needed to. It has no leaks, no stumble, no yo-yo, no stalling and is running the original ECU software that came with the car.

It was broken in correctly and is never reved over 3k rpm until it has reached full operating temperature. It has never thrown a belt.
Included is a list of modifications and parts included with the car. I have receipts for most of them. All of the original stock components also come with the car.

Quite a few NAM members have seen the car. It is very pretty and very fast.

Oh, yes, best offer over $26,900.

If you are interested in the car in any state of modification between where is is now and stock let me know and maybe we can work out a deal.

If you are interested in any of the components let me know and I will communicate with you if they become available.

I have met many great people during the last 2 years and will very much miss NAM'ing with y'all.

Please, serious parties only. Please communicate via Private Message.

you're never gonna get that much for it...i sold a 2005 and i didn't get what i wanted

 

congrats on the elise, nice car. I'll be telling the wifey that the lotus is her's as I keep my MINI S when the time comes . We're going Bergundy or Green.

 

Tell your wife that you'll loose your pants selling the Mini now and convince her it's wiser to keep it for another 25 years whereupon it will be worth 50k

I can just see in a few years from now how many Elise owners will have a Mini parked next to it Me too if I can manage

 

Only one toy? Good gawd man! It's Christmas - tell her the only thing you want is the one thing you already have!
My secret was getting three cars BEFORE getting married.
Good luck! (selling it if not keeping it)

 

Maybe that's the idea -> "wife forces sale"

 

Time for a new NAM Name...

"Blue w/o MCS"

 

Normally I'd say ditch the wife, but she did let you get an Elise. I would place her on double secret probation for forcing the Mini sale.

 

I'm extrememely jealous of you....The Elise is one awesome car. Good luck on your Mini sale, but your asking price is unrealsistic. I do wish you the best though.

 

The Mini showed up on the doorstep after a 7 month waiting period. She considered the appearance without knowledge a marital lie. Took grief for weeks. Lucked into this one (still have one on order...shuuush!) and showed it to her after I said yes. You know it's an investment opportunity. Good thing it didn't become a "her or me" choice.
