He's got brembos so that may be a problem, I'd be intersted in the brembos though

 

Do you still have the MC40 wheels?

this is a difficult for sale thread. please supply pics or direct links to your pics. also why are you so shy to post a price?

cheers

 

Mark - great looking mini. I've met Mark before and have seen his other rides and he knows how to take care of a machine. Wish I had the spare cash.

 

Sent you an email. Car still for sale? Price?

 

I emailed this guy about 3 weeks ago and did not get a response. This post should probably be removed because either the guy sold the car or is not responding.

 

Just left him a voice mail at work. Hopefully he'll at least call me back about the car. If it's sold, it's sold, but would like to know for certain.

 

Mark is in our local club and I can say with relative certainty that he has in fact sold his MINI.

 

Do you know approximately what it went for? Not asking you to divulge any personal secrets, just trying to get an idea of market values . . .

 

Sorry, not a clue.

 

I saw a texas audi dealer with this car on ebay shortly after it was on here, for about 27k-i had a friend who was interested, but it slipped away

 

I bought the car off E-bay motors from the Audi dealer where Mark traded it in for an A-3 2.0T. The woman who handled the internet sales for the dealer didn't have a clue about the car and from the pictures, I could tell Mark had put over 10K into the car with the JCW kit, suspension, brakes, wheels, etc.
So I got lucky and goti it for 23,000, which Mark says was like 500 more than what the dealer gave him.
I'm in the process of putting a cam, cat delete pipe, header, Detroit bypass valve, underdrive pulley and a new JCW spec'd cone filter in it.
I've owned an NSX, a blown E-36 M-3 sedan, a blown ///M coupe, etc, but this has been the funnest car to drive only a daily basis that I've ever had. Glad to have gotten it.
Mark is a great guy, by the way. He was kind enough to tell me about his mods, and how he treated the car, which was in pristine shape.

 

I'm jealous . . .wouda' jumped on it at $23k, no question. Congrats on a good buy.
