FS: 2005 MCS hardtop Pepper White/Black

Great Condition, but I want a convertible 2 seater.

Bone Stock, no mods ever.
Clean interior, anthracite colored dashboard.
Pepper White/Black hardtop
Sunroof
6 speed manual
17" Wheels
Foglights
Multi Function steering wheel
Space Gray Cloth Seats
Fresh PPG Windshield with no sandblasting!
No mushrooming.
Has normal stutter on cold start that clears immediately.

Oil changed every ~7.5k in the middle of the computer's recommendation.

16" Konig wheels with Michelin X Ice winter tires available (205/50/16).

39k miles, factory warranty through 50k. I drive 110 hwy miles per day (Atlanta to Gainesville, GA) so these are all hwy miles.
$20,200 or best offer (read: negotiable within reason, KBB is $21,800 in exc condition).
Car located in Atlanta, winter wheels in Michigan.

Post here, PM, or email.

I will get pics, but it looks like any other Pepper White/Black MCS with Silver S Lites.

Tom

If you were a bit closer, I'd make an offer. Your color combo and year is my fav. But alas....

Harrisburg. And yup, I could probably have used your snows too. Does your car have Xenons and the cold weather package?

Hi, sorry for the delay.

I can do as well with the Pontiac dealer (for trade to Solstice) without any negotiation, so I'll have to pass on that one. I'd like to get somewhere in the 19s.

Also, I will be out of town for a few weeks for work (not sure exactly how long) so it will be a bit before I can show you the car etc. If you can wait, make me another offer.

Thanks for the interest!

One of the biggest mistakes of my life was trading my 05 MCS JB/JB that was absolutely perfect for a Solstice when they first came out. I really liked the bodystyle but the car just sucked. Very poor quality construction;didn't like the location of the stick shift...way to high as you sit too low. Fun car to drive but no real power. I sold it to a dealership in Alabama who just couldn't get one after driving it for four months and cam out even except for the beating I took on trading my MINI.

I thought I wanted the GXP and ordered one but it took over 8 months and by then I had given up on even getting it and purchased a BMW 335i Coupe which I really love...best car I have ever owned. Still have my 05 MCS Cabrio, too.

Good luck on selling or trading your MINI but please think again about the Solstice...

Interesting. Thanks for the advice.

Of course I'll get a GXP so it will have real power.

I have driven more than one and fit comfortably. Plus I can get them at GMS pricing so it will be a good deal.

Congrats, Spitfire, on your new ride. Hope that GXP turns out to be what you were hoping for. If you are tooling around Gainesville and looking for someone to do a few runs up in the N.GA MTs give me a call, 770-540-2505...I'd be glad to go with you. If you haven't found any Solstice groups I can get you in touch with the ATL group who like to motor a little.
