WTB: Looking for clean R53

Hey everyone,

I've been looking around for clean enthusiast owned R53 and thought I'd make a post here to see if anyone on the forums had anything they were looking to sell or would consider selling.

Ideally I would be looking for:
Open to all years
Under 75-80k miles (Lower the better)
Excellent cosmetic and mechanical condition
No rust/rusty underside
Slick-top (Flexible on this one but a slick-top would be my preference)
Manual only
No yellow

Located in Virginia but open to ship a car from anywhere in the continental US

Thanks!

Jeff

What’s your budget for something that ticks all of your boxes above?

I'm guessing that was you bidding on my MC40?

Yes sir, it just went a touch out of what I was looking to spend with shipping. Your car was the one that sparked my search and I've probably looked through the pictures 100 times since the auction went live. I would have loved to have the opportunity to continued to take great care of it.

I saw the winning bidder paid 10k for a yellow Aztek on C&B so I'd say he got more for his money with the MC40

@jkt - I think you have a typo above. You meant that they paid him 10K to take a yellow Aztek, right?
