    The car will be in a photo shoot this weekend.

    Mini GP #1066 Located in Michigan.

    Well its time to put my baby up for sale. 25k OBO
    The car has 74,000 miles on it and will go up as I drive it on nicer days.
    I am the second owner and I purchased the car back in May of 2011 with 54k on it.
    I purchased a aftermarket car warranty when I took out the loan. Its 5 years or 50k miles. I will call and make sure it can be transferred.

    In the past 15k miles the car has gotten a lot of work done.
    I am crazy about keeping up on maintenance and replacing parts on all my vehicles.

    Detroit Tuned or I did all work on the vehicle.
    I would like to take a second to thank Chad and Matt for always taking care of the car and my concerns. They are very professional and offer a much better repair experience than any other shop or dealer I have ever been too and or worked at. I would recommend everyone to stop in and get some work done regardless of distance. It will be more than worth it.

    Since I have owned the car I have changed the oil every 2,500 miles with a OEM filter and Mobile 1.

    New parts installed:
    TSW engine mount.
    BSH lower engine mount.
    Powerflex transmission bushings.
    Detroit Tuned tensioner stop.
    New belt.
    Powerflex belt tensioner damper bushings.
    Craven Speed 15% supercharger pulley.
    Craven Speed +2% crank pulley.
    New spark plugs.
    Detroit Tuned bypass valve.
    Mini OEM oil pan gasket.
    OEM drain plug.
    Crank Sensor O-ring.
    New T-MAP sensor OEM.
    Powerflex control arm bushings.
    Powerflex front swaybar bushings.
    Craven Speed short antenna.
    Craven Speed tow hook.
    OEM power steering fan.
    H Sport rear comp 25mm bar.
    Vorshlag camber plates.
    Mini Aero upper grill.
    Mini AUX kit.
    Oem timing tensioner.
    Valve cover gasket.
    Alta intercooler boots.
    Four new tires 215/35R18 KDW’s.
    Alignment.
    5% tint on back three windows.
    Matte black wrapped headlight rings(970RA)

    I am sure I am forgetting things. I will add them as I go through receipts.


    Now Time for the bad.
    The car has been in two accidents both of which were minor and the car has a clean title minus the Lean from the bank.

    I do not have pictures of the first one before I owned it.
    I am posting pictures of my (accident).
    I was driving on the express way and a muffler came off the car in front of me and cracked the edge of the front lip and bumper.

    Most of you will think I am crazy for posting the car for 25k OBO with this high mileage and the accidents. But the car has been repaired to the highest standards and has tons of new parts to keep the car in perfect mechanical condition for another 75k.

    Sorry but you are asking way too much for a NON OEM (Molested) 2 hit 7 year old GP with 77 k on the clock.

    A GP is worth what you are asking only if it is ALL OEM with no aftermarket parts and low ( sub 40 or 30 K ) mileage.

    14 - 15 k is a realistic price unless you return it to stock specs.

    Agreed Dave..... My buddy struggled to get 21 for his flawless, low mileage (38k) GP. And it WAS flawless!

    Good luck on your sale Scotty as I know it's very frustrating to off your car when it's a must do situation for you. :beer

    Sorry to hear your selling your GP but glade to hear you drove it.

    With the mileage and the past damage I hate to say it but this sounds about right, even with the extras. I paid $21k for GP0360 and it only had 15k on it, not flawless but it was going to be a DD. I am in the same boat , it has 60k on it now, couple of paint chips some curb rash and about a year ago some ratstang decided it need to violate my boot. Unless your GP was a hermetically sealed hanger queen from day one you might have to go a little lower.

    Hopefully you'll sell it soon. I'm sure someone sees the value.

    The axle popped out of the trans and it turns out the LSD is bad.
    I do not have any time to work on the car anymore.
    I am going to sell the car as is.

    I am lowering the price to 13K or taking reasonable offers.
