    Holy CRAP! The 2006 JCW w/ 70k miles (lightly modded) just sold for $17.6k!

    I never thought I'd say it, but I think that if Rufus sold for that price, I'd probably make a profit on what I bought the car for some 4-5 years ago + parts! Well... maybe not a "profit" but I'd be right on the line of breaking even. That is NOT something that I ever expected to say about my Rufus project. I did it because it made me happy to do. I expected every penny that I poured into that little car to evaporate.

    I might even argue that my work on Rufus is a bit more in-depth as I did a bunch of preventative maintenance items and have upgraded brakes. To that car's credit, I've got 10k more miles than the one that sold and the seller seems to have a very good rep on BAT for turning well-sorted R53s.

    Interestingly enough the 70,000 mile 2006 R53 JCW was for sale in Atlanta, Georgia for $10,500 then was bought and put on BaT by Geneva Motor Cars. Unless you’re trying to sell a car and are lucky enough to be accepted by BaT these prices may not represent what you could receive locally.

    Geneva Motor Cars appears to have a well earned reputation in the selling of cars on BaT which could affect the selling price.

    With two days to go the one owner 30,000 mile 2006 R53 JCW is at $17,000. The last hours of bidding should prove to be interesting on this car.
