Over a two month ad campaign in Autoweek, Auto Trader, Craigslist, the SF newspapers and three Ebay auctions, I found the buying public unwilling to pony up for my cherry factory warrantied 2004 JCW MCS, even after lowering the price three times. I finally sold it to someone driving by my house who saw the For Sale sign. You gotta find that special person who wants a tweaked car and also has the bux. Not easy.

They used to have a QuickTime video of the car blurring through the gears, and it was very impressive. The supercharger whine was extremely pronounced–like a jetliner at take-off.

Can’t believe they’re asking only 25k! (Maybe it’s because they probably beat the snot out of it, being their test mule)…
