At that price... it would have had to have something catastrophic wrong for it not to be a great value for what it is.
Congrats !!
This thread is so active it was hard for me to figure out who originally posted it, but I'm pretty sure it was you, so thanks very much for the heads up! It has almost 3000 miles of road grime and smells terrible of truck brake dust, fortunately it will be a nice day tomorrow to give it a good wash.
I have to confess, I was holding out on you guys...for good reason. Was trying to swoop and scoop this one. It woulda been the second one I stole for $6500. Pissed at Searchtempest. This one didn’t show up until 3 days later. Did any of you see it? A “Young lady” beat me too it. Guarantee she didn’t realize what she got. Damn it! Not sure how long this link will work.
After he sold it, I asked him why so cheap, his reply.
“I couldn't find any comps. Auto trader said it was worth 2,800. Believe me it was perfect”
And he said it didn’t have a “roof window” and referred to pepper white as yellow...man that was my kind of seller.

OUCH! That would have been so nice!
Note to self: You can no longer trust Jonny. He might actually hold out on us if it's a good deal.
EDIT: There, I saved it in perpetuity for you when the link is gone. English leather seats too!

Haha...you know “exactly” how it feels to scoop up the “unobtanium” . We’re both unicorn hunters by nature. You know those seats woulda gone straight into mine lol. That was part of the reason I woulda pounced.
Been trying to sell my Royal grey locally through the forum and also a potential buyer on the west coast (not publicly listed), so that I could make a move on the BRG, so if anyone else is interested, I've got 5.5gb of walk around videos on an unlisted a YouTube link if anyone is interested in a closer look at the car. PM if you'd like the link.
I love love love monochrome R53's .. my 2002 JCW is with my paint guy at the moment getting the white roof painted electric blue, same as the rest of the car

or paint over the EB to all white lol. i was considering a wrap on top Rvinyl has a color that i think is a match to HB. But i don’t mind the black roof. i also think the monochrome looks awesome. i love all black with chrome mirrors on the minis. you might be able to find a wrap to match EB, doesn’t have to be 100% cuz it’s separated by the windows. if you don’t want to paint over the original.

Nice looking R53! This is about 10 minutes from my house . If anyone on here is thinking about pulling the trigger on this but can't get to it in person, I'd be happy to go take a look if the seller isn't able to accommodate additional pictures or something.
Seems underpriced....maybe it has needs and "Everything is updated and runs like new" isn't entirely true.
OR....maybe it's a screaming good deal! Somebody check this out.
I’m sure there’s a really good story behind that price, there usually is, but no harm in sending a message. Judging by the engine bay pic, looks like it may have had a tough life.
I'm also having issues with the facebook /commerce/listing/ links. Not sure what the difference is between those URLs and the marketplace/item/ URLs -- which seem to work perfectly for me.
Here's the marketplace/item URL for the GP1 in Dallas....

Your link (like most posted here) always brings me to a smaller listing (pics) and have to usually click on sellers profile to get to a full listing. The one I put up would take you direct to full listing. I get messed up on FB, don’t really use it much except to for mini related stuff.
