Yea... it sold in BAT-fantasy-land for $17,587.50 plus taxes and transport on that car... plus the age-related maint that will still be needed ... $20k and call it ‘bout right ??


But, would anyone on this thread pay that for the car ... just sincerely curious ... if yes ... raise your hand 🙋‍♂️



For people with a new Mercedes in the garage ... it’s still a cheap little ‘Sporty Car’ for less than a New Hyundai

Play-money, huh !

Yeah I was at around 12k before it was well over my budget. Could not justify it. Maybe if it was blue...

Meant when it went above 12k I would have considered going a bit further. 17k before transport, taxes and whatnot is wayyyy too much.

Mileage is low on that Canadian beauty, if I remember, finish off the black skirt paint, and get it over the border on Bat, and I think you’d do really well. But time is also on your side, keep the miles low and you can’t lose while still having some fun. You’ll miss it if you unload it I’m sure...unless you have a replacement.

I have the compliance letter from BMW stating its a green light for US import in hand and a broker on stand by ;-) Im in the fortunate position that I do have another JCW otherwise I would be holding it close. Ive owned a few over the years but never had one with the JCW carbon dash. I have to say it looks very nice in there.

Actually that depends on a persons point of view. As far as JCW originality this one is right on point and super clean. The others are, our Dinan S2 (also very clean) and my modified JCW (my summer grin machine). Each one has a special spot in our family. Im looking to buy a property and the 05' was voted the fall guy... I love it because it has no mods and 96,000 kms on her.


Dinan S2

03' JCW

you are one lucky man, and yes they are all distinct in their own way, I’d have a lot of trouble choosing which was gonna leave your little mini sanctuary, that BRG looks like a little demon. And the Dinan with the body kit...pretty sweet indeed.

Thank you! The easy way for me was the Dinan I can't mod its a very well known and documented car around here. Kermit I don't have any issue moving forward with more and more mods. I have quite a few sitting on the shelf waiting to see what happens with our property search moving forward. So in having the Dinan and the Grey JCW 2 cars I can't mod thats what made the decision for me. No use having 2 garage queens ;-)

Good decision. I’d probably go with that too. Stock Dinan is mostly worry free, Kermit you go nuts and push the sensible limits, never ending grins.

Next up, both JCWs, with about 100k miles each

1 owner about $5k well maintained with records
https://longisland.craigslist.org/ct...307393603.html

R52 a little pricey, but recent major service $8500

I'm not shy of 100K miles plus.... but no clutch replacement at that price seems a little lacking IMO.

The R53/52's with R91's on them... growing on me....
Anyone know when the R91's were first avail from the factory? Dealer items or order with the car?

So yeah, not a bad price. But to repair that is not free and probably on both sides and hatch handle and brake lines and chassis and bottom of doors and..... Ask me how I know

I am the owner of the mini above and can take more pics if someone is serious on this forum.

2003 S with Aero, 6-sp... Cheap in Cali.
$3000

High miles, but it runs... and looks pretty darn good... for dirt cheap money.


https://losangeles.craigslist.org/sf...308308491.html

2003 Mini Cooper S-1st Gen-Supercharged. Clean Title-currently listed as non-op w/ DMV. John Cooper Works Body Kit and Shifter Ball, Center Borla Exhaust and aftermarket upgrades. Car runs great and fun to drive. Great for a teenager, just not mine-sadly. New custom seat covers, new rear brakes.

Hell that one is middle aged, little bit of gray on the sides, and maybe some muffin top around the belt line, but good for another 150k before it needs to start looking into assisted living communities.

Yep.... I've been seeing some with original engines that are at the 300K mark.

Lots of people are paying $3k for PPF/Tint/correction, or a BBK ...or used Aero

Even with some issues to live with... thats a lot of car for $3k..

Yup, and there’s a week long drought over at Bat. Someone let JacMac know we’re getting bored over here, give us an insane auction to keep us going for a while. I think now is a good time.
