Considering Sale of GP1 #1899 with 25K miles

So there I am, 40 years old....gathering selfish toys...2 seat mini, (another) one seat motorcycle - all is well.

Then suddenly ......baby on the way...!! whoaa..

Having to face the fact that two vehicles that are not family friendly will probably need more time than I am going to have come December...

As such thinking of selling my GP1. I am going to clean, photograph and work on a post soon but wanted to give a heads up in case anyone wants to jump on this!

2006 GP1 #1899
Around 25,000 miles
Excellent condition - spotless
Completely stock except:
  • D1 Throttle controller (5 minute uninstall)
  • Stratmosphere Cat BAck. Perfect condition stock JCW system included
  • Kenwood (Subtle) head unit with XM. Perfect condition stock Mini system included
  • Brand new non run flat tires
Car is located in AR


I am thinking $22K, pm me if interested or alternatively just heckle me in this string!
Thanks
Sam

This is what I'm afraid is going to happen to me. I'm 30 and currently gathering my selfish toys, with no plans for baby. Both myself and wife are on board with no baby in the plans.... but things can always change.

Good luck to you with your new baby adventure! I'd love to have a GP, maybe I'll give my wife the R56 and I'll drive this .

Buuuuut gotta pay the damn thing off! Maybe the next GP....

GLWS!

You sound like me at 30! Lets talk again in 10 years!
I figure for the next few years two up riding and two up only driving is going to be limited and one up trips reduced. As such I need to pick bike or car as my second vehicle and the bike wins as it gets me out of the way faster (KTM Adventure R)..

Car

Hi, I do - finally got my 'MINI GP' plate so had to drive it around a little!
I am looking for $19K and would refund any inspection costs if the car is not as described in the ad.
If you do a fly-and-drive I will buy you a beer too!
