    Three previous owners & only 4,000 miles. Why don't people drive this MINI. I don't get it???

    That’s less than 300 miles a year. You would think that just driving it weekly around the proverbial block would put more miles on it than that.

    Yep. Someone has treated that car like a classic collectable and not a driver. A bit sad, but it's a beautiful example of a Gen 1 GP.

    Still at 30k w/ 5 days to go.

    and it sold for the amount of $45k - nice flip - own for a year and drive 400 miles, make $9k profit. I need to invest into 2006 GPs, I guess.

    I agree the other one has the wrong bumper and seats.

    To a collector little things like that are a big deal but I would take either one for a fun driver.

    I'd be thrilled to get $10k for Rufus ('05 JCW), if I ever decided to sell.

    It’s at $39k with six days to go already so it has an excellent chance to top $45k.

    It’s at $41,250 with three days to go. Bidding should heat up on the last day.

    I'd like to get a set of the GP floor mats, but that price is too high to scavenge those out.

    Ummm, the first sign of aging comes when one starts to repeat himself [posts 158 and 159]. :Devilish:
