Just a bump, and I will also be bringing the car the AVIV (Vegas) for those who might want to take a gander.

Going, going...

 

Still going...


Really people, do you know how much it would cost to build one like this!

I am going to bring it to Vegas for AMVIV, and if it doesn't sell there, it will have to come off the market. If it does, I am doing more to the car, and it will never be sold for less than $45K (if it all). This is your last chance...

 

JMHO, but I don't see all that many MINI'ers on this board (and even others) participating in motorsports - which is sad, in a way, but it's just the way it is... It seems like most people are content with driving their MINIs on the street, modded or not... I, for one, like some of the others here (you included) just cannot help taking my/our cars out for some motorsports fun!

I would think a small ad in Grassroots Motorsports and/or Roundel would sell it much quicker than on any of the MINI forums.

 

Randy, I wish I had the money If I didn't have a Mini already and was looking for a one, your's would be the ticket. I know what it's worth but the problem is that most people here are looking for a steal. That's why I don't even bother to advertise the parts that I don't use anymore. For example...brand new S-lite/tires going for less than $600 when the dealer is charging over $2600 Everyone expects you to put the parts in, do the the hard work of setting it up properly then give it away for a song Just keep it Randy

 

It's weird, because I've had three very serious deals fall through (all for legitimate reasons) - making me think the car wants to stay with me .

 

Keep it if at all possible...you may have regrets later if you do sell it

 

Randy, I think your car is gorgeous but unfortunately most people don't understand or fully appreciate the extent of the mods you have done to the car and the performance implications that come from such changes. The key here is to find a buyer that understands everything that has been done to that MCS and is willing to pay for those mods. If you advertaise an used MINI for $35K most individuals will think you have gone mad, hence the slow responses.


Autoweek Magazine has a dedicated used car section for specialty cars such as yours. I have no idea how much they charge for an ad and photo but I think I would be worth checking it out. In there you'll find race cars, street modified, luxury/sports cars, exotics, classics you name it.

Your MINI may Be too much car for the regular 9-5 regular Joe.

Good luck.

 

Considering the Nuzzo cars from GrandAm are going for $65K each, this car is a steal.

I'm trying a last ditch effort on E-bay and at Vegas, after that I'm keeping it!

Here's the E-bay link:

Randy, what's the deal with the WMS/Magnaflow custom exhaust?

Different than regular Magnaflow how?

 

It is welded together, and I tried some things with the resonator - this car is full of all kinds of tricks.

 

It is a steal at that price and I'm sure some NAM viewers will end up spending more $$ to mod their mini and end up with less than the "mule" will provide. Then, they will wonder why they passed on your offer.

 

Randy,

You could always part some of it out to for the benefit of some
of us poorer MINI owners that don't have big $$ for the aftermarket
parts.

...of course I realize with the extenstively modded nature
of your care that would be mostly a huge waste of your time.
I think your car has already chosen his home.

That car is truely amazing,
I understand your desire to sell, but I just couldn't see myself giving it up if I were you. Best of Luck man.
peace,
James

I agree, gorgeous car.. here's the write up:

That's not Charlie's anymore - I just worked on it! Now it has a few different parts, but it is cool to know where it came from. Sol already worked on it - pretty small world (Sol is the owner of Perfect Power, and we started working on MINIs together, sharing ideas along the way).

Randy

 

Thanks,
thanks everyone for the compliments! always appretiated. Yeah got the car from Charlie in early August and love it. Can't get over how clean it looks with all the blacked pieces. Thanks for the upgrades Randy , The cold air intake really helps the sound and power, and the swaybar steadies it through those clover on-ramps.
Thanks again everyone,
James

 

James, love your MINI, which is basically my Wanda's twin. And gotta love your mention of those "clover on-ramps!" Tee hee!


Clover

 

+Bump+

-Check out this car, it is truely amazing. Just read everything installed on this car some of those parts are only available from Webbmotorsports and they're custom installed. Its a steal without a doubt. But I must say Randy, if no one wants to pick it up Keep It! You might end up regretting it if you lose it, but good luck anyway,
See you soon,
James
