    That car was Joseph hu or lu or something, aka Alpha Motoring on NAM, (the biggest tool in the MINI community)he sold it to some dentist (so he says) but the amount was never disclosed. Said Dentist put it on eBay a couple times with no bites (wonder why at that price).

    Now it has popped up at a broker, so my guess is that the Dentist took it to the broker to try and move it, or the dentist traded it away.

    Problem with the car is its ALL SHOW NO GO! like almost no mods, for performance. Yes it looks great but 10k$ wheels on a car that should be about 10 to 12K$ ****ing Stupid!

    Agreed, but it is nice!

    Give it a few months with no offers... That price will drop.

    Wow that is a very nicely appointed R53 JCW! It's perfect minus the NAV system... Somebody spent the big bucks on the modding for a sweet cruiser, and I have to agree the custom upholstered Euro-JCW Recarro's are the best part!

    It's well done but I really do not like the seats and that pattern.

    Ha! 35k!

    I wish they would have matched the body color with the fenders... The seats look very VW german tuner look. I think they look pretty nice either way!

    Those HRE wheels :drool
