GP #0143 is back on BaT again after three months. Latest owner states his post surgeries physical condition causes problems for him exiting the car. It will be interesting to see if the car will draw the price it did three months ago.

I will say no, it will not hit what it did back in September. I say 23-24k; hope I'm wrong!

 

Is it my eyes, or does the front bumper look borked?

 

Looks like it, but maybe the drivers side hood latch isn’t push down into the catch after they took engine pictures…???

 

Its happens when the hood does not shut all the way from the weight, they closed the hood very lightly.

Mine did that then I greased the latches, they tend to stick.

Thats also happens when the one hood strut fails but the other ones works (on the driver side), One side tends to slam shut more.

Tell me you owned multiple MINIs without telling me you owned one -

 

Seller will probably take a loss on this one. The question is, how much of a loss...

 

The seller said in the comments that the photographer hadn't shut the hood correctly after taking engine shots.

 

Sold for just over $25k, several thousand less than it went for 3 months ago.

 

$5k drop in 3 months. I think we've seen the high watermark on these cars for a bit.

 

@Soul Coughing Agreed, at least until the economy turns around.

 

The latest seller stated that he made a deal with the previous owner and did not purchase the 17” GP retro wheels and tires so the $30,250 price would have dropped a bit. Car went for a tad to much three months ago but sold for a fair price today.
