The original owner had all service done there & then traded it back in to them in 2011.
I purchased it in 2011 from Mini SF with 65,445 miles on the odometer - so it has been
driven less than 1,500 miles annually over the last 10 years.

06 MCS 4K miles?? Dealer built and tuned performance, $13k
https://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/c...325088470.html

 

Interesting spec on that car, I'm always excited to see minimalistic steering wheels without those dumb buttons LOL



Black Eye Purple?



Slicktop!

For the asking price, needs more pictures plus more info.

 

BEP monochrome...nice. Surprised he’s messing with CL instead of BAT or here. Probably gonna answer lots of dumb emails. Pics are lame for someone trying to sell a $13k MCS. How much effort does it take to back it outside and shoot 15 pics. Must be a busy guy lol.
Still has the plastic on the door sills, nice.

 

Spotted that ad within 2 hrs of ad posting and replied immediately (anonymous CL email contact only - no phone number). I'm just north of indicated location, so would have been there already had there been any response. Might be scam ad but to what end? Seems a scammer would have replied quickly with request for bitcoin currency or similar. A lot of effort to "harvest" direct email addresses and phone numbers. If I get a response, I have cash in hand (literally) ready to purchase...

 

Sometimes hard to tell, usually scams have ridiculously low prices, and this one is pretty accurate, my feeling is it’s legit, and the guy hasn’t either checked his email (it’s Saturday) or has multiple responses and hasn’t got to them, you should know by Sunday evening or Monday if it’s legit. Just a strange place to put a car like that...CL

 

^^^ Update: Not a scammer. As advertised. Deal pending. Stay tuned...

 

Cool beans!

That's a rare spec R53 right there,
awaiting update!

 

Looking forward to see a full gallery of pics in your driveway

 

^^^ Thanks guys! No further updates until Monday evening. Sure don't want to jinx this!

 

OK, to wrap up this story, I created a new thread topic in the R50/R53 subsection rather than take up space and bandwidth in this thread.

DISREGARD, I misread the ad 2013 GP2 JCW 19k miles $9999 this car is 10 mins from me if someone wants me to go look. Seems cheap...or suspicious.

Jonny, you missed the description under the $9,999:

**** $33,000*** (Facebook would not let me put in actual price.) Thousands invested in this rare collectible.

 

Let me make up for that false alarm lol
03 JCW 59k miles $7995

that 03 has been for sale for about a month now. Almost went to go look, but no pics and real close to the ocean. Saw a similar one in person, was an MC40 for 5-6k but it was sooooooo rusty due to sea salt. was literally falling apart. Interior was beautiful tho.

Update to the WC50 rescue by @JackMac . Nice work, congrats on how well it came out!

 

Thanks. Final update coming in two weeks

 

The first car, the yellow JCW was listed and sold on BaT at the start of April - he's even using the photos from the auction

 

The Bat was just MCS and 02. Oh, you mean December. He’s taking a little hit on that one, couldn’t afford the payments??

 

Well then the listing on Adopting Auto's is fraudulent

I think this image is in both listings:

 

Yes, that ad on Adopting Autos is bogus (or simply outdated if it has been up for two months).
That 04 sold on BAT in December (and at least once before too! ha) ... was purchased by a buddy of mine here in Portland, OR early April.
Seller lost a few grand over a very short ownership but was apparently just thinning the herd ... Too many cars & motorcycles.
