[...] There were a few choices I immediately considered. While I could comfortably afford more than my previous MINI, I wanted to aim quite a bit lower due to new priorities. So with that decided, I zeroed in on a [...]

For the record I had five leads from the MF posting and four from one day on cars.com (most very serious). I litterally had people interested from all over the world.

Man it took me three months to sell my similar ’07 JCW. Gabe sells his in 10 minutes.

All thanks to YOU my friend. I hold a MINI event in Cleveland each year at a place called the Pub. We get around 100 Minis each year and it’s a blast. I invite ALL M.F. people to attend the next one 6/6/09 but Lance if you bring your new Mini I will personally pay for your hotel room as well as dinner at the Pub for you and your companion. It will be my honor. Semper Fi!

Greg,

Thanks for your kind words. I appreciate the support of those who those who extend it. It's often a hard pill to swallow when some folks back home are a little less than supportive. I've been in the Marine Corps for the past seventeen and a half years now and enjoy what I do on a daily basis. I am very much looking forward to getting back home for more than a couple reasons now. I look forward to the cross country drive in the Mini. It is going to be a pleasure being a part of such a great family of supporters. I look forward to many more articles and updates via this forum.

given the state of the economy does anyone think mini dealers will start negotiating a little more

Congrats to Lance! I am confident he will not regret it. I stop by at Patrick MINI last weekend and saw a JCW MINI ; not fully loaded like non leather seat, non-navigation etc. and the MSRP is already $32,000! It’s by no means no near to Gabe’s car.

If Lance is a serviceman, I say to him THANK YOU!!!! and God bless you!

He is and it looks like he'll be the new owner as things stand now.

Gabe,

I am very interested in your car; I am currently in Iraq. I am due back in November. I am an Illinois resident and will be flying back there in November from San Diego once I return. I would be back Illinois the third or fourth week of November to pick the car up. How much of a deposit would you require to hold the car until I return. This is a serious offer; I have a 09 JCW on order right now but would drop my order in a heartbeat to take the car off of your hands. Please let me know.

Lance

I understand how hard it is. I just traded my 05 MCS 3 weeks ago, and I already regret it and am constantly on the MINI configurator building my next baby.

Have no worry Gabe….I am sure sooner or later the lucky one will buy your car. If I only have the means… :(

Gabe, I live in Chicago, and maybe very interested. I have been looking at all the local dealers this week, but nothing can hold a candle to this. My primary car was recently totaled by a negligent driver and owning a black mini has been a dream of mine for some time. I am anticipating a payoff for my previous car this week. Please let me know if it is still available, and if so, shoot me a message.

Corey - The car is still available. Lots of interest but no deposit yet.

Still holding onto my April 2002 R50 MCS - already 6.5 yrs old and still rumbling along. It has been (and still is) very reliable, flexible plus has that extra horsepower when you need it. I've only had to replace a few trim pieces, battery, tyres and control arm bushes. Good fuel economy at 7L/100km (33.6 mpg).

I'm not looking at getting rid of it soon but want to get a second cheap vehicle to keep the mileage down. Have heard that the JCW uses more gas though and can be bought second hand generally for a good price.

All the best with your sale.
