    You’re absolutely correct in your assessment but people who are buying these cars are looking for low mileage examples and are willing to pay a premium for them. That’s what makes this particular auction interesting in that the car is a very clean well maintained higher mileage car that by all rights should fetch $22-25,000 and if it doesn’t then it will be because of the mileage.

    I guess I'm just super enthusiastic about the cars I own and will take issue with those who won't drive them as they should be driven.

    That car makes me miss my MINI. That there is one beautiful car. It will be tough not bidding on it for old time sake. Hope it gets a good home with someone who really enjoys it & drives the wheels off.

    That train has left the station. It was a hard transition to go to the GTI, but now I'd never go back. If I feel the need for a MINI fix I'll take Babs clubster out for a fling.

    Hyper Blu is the fastest color. :Stig:

    I know you're a stick shifter from way back, but so was I until aging wrecked my knees to the point where I couldn't shift manually without wincing. So, since 2004, I have been driving MINIs without 6-speeds. No, they are not as quick as a 6-speed, but, man oh man, do my knees ever feel better!

    That's why I bought a 2006 MCSa new in Dublin and still have it today. Best damned car and make I ever had.

    With just under twenty four hours of bidding left the 114,000 mile R53 JCW GP is at $9,200. Last couple of hours of this auction should prove very interesting for this very clean car.

    The 114,000 mile R53 GP sold for $22,000. It was a very slow auction until the last half hour and then the bidding took off.

    The 28,000 mile Hyper Blue 2006 R53 sold for $16,000. Someone got themselves a really nice ride for a bargain price.

    The 48,000 mile 2009 MCS 6-Speed sold for $12,750. Looked to be a well maintained car with the JCW Aero kit.
