My range is $7-8k with $10k being my max for something really special. The GP's are about twice those ranges at least.

I have one. It also has the LSD, one year only color, and late production date. Just about the best Mini you can get (without being GP or something insanely rare for twice the money for basically the same car). I've always said everything is for sale for the right price, but I'm not giving it away.... PM me if you are very serious.

67,500 miles right now...

I think I may have just found a yellow S with slicktop & LSD. Just waiting on specifics/carfax from the dealer. Plus it's one of the colors I really wanted.

I know I'm a year late

But I am currently selling my 2005 R53 with no sunroof. 123k miles, really really good shape. I work at an auto shop and bought it from a mechanic that I work with, so it's been well cared for and I have every service record. Let me know if you're still looking!

where do you live? I found this one in San Diego. I bought it for 4k, but I've put a heck of a lot more into it just moding it, I didn't have to but, it's a project for me.




This looks nice, to me at a good price:

I'm not looking for one, rather I have one to sell if anyone following this thread is interested.
123k miles, factory roof rack, 16" Panasport Z-Light wheels, 6-speed manual, unbelievably extensive service records. I'm located in Decatur, GA, about 15 minutes east of downtown Atlanta.

Absolutely love those Panasports!

If I was in the market I'd definitely come check out the car as it looks pretty damn good.

Although now I'm up in the NW corner, I grew up close to Decatur, over in Clarkston.

The Panasports make such a big difference with these cars. Since there's no spare, the cars shipped with 17" factory wheels and run-flat tires. By switching to the 16" Panasports and non-run-flat tires, it shaved 17 pounds PER CORNER!!!

I live basically a stone's throw from Clarkston, essentially on the line of Decatur/Clarkston/Scottdale. Small world!
