2013 Mini John Cooper Works GP 265 hp - $23,900
 

PRICED TO SELL!!! $23,900


Kelly Blue Book says the "expected mileage" of this car is 43,123 miles - mine has only 16K miles (increases Book Value by $2,800). Also, my Stage 1 ECU Tune is worth $850. Please consider these factors when comparing my car to competing alternatives.


Up for sale is my 2013 Mini Cooper GP (also called "GP2") with only 16K miles. It has a clean title and no bank liens. It is in as close to "showroom" condition as a lightly-used car can be - no mechanical or cosmetic issues worth mentioning. Also included is an extra GP stock rim/tire (used) that I carry as an emergency spare. At time of purchase, MSRP was set at $39,950 plus dealer markup.


The GP has been enhanced with a Manic Mini Stage 1 ECU Tune (software-only, no hardware changes, no smog impact). This enhancement adds 50+ hp at the wheels without affecting motor reliability! Included is the SPS OBD2 switch that enables you to switch between "stock mode" (for Dealer visits or smog tests) and 3 enhanced modes - no ECU removal required! If you wish, you can make additional hardware changes to take the car to Stage 2 or Stage 3 performance - the ECU Tune is compatible with these changes.


This Mini is unit # 84 of 500 units made for the US market - a rare collector's item. Mini calls it "the fastest production Mini ever built". Some of the highlights of this Mini compared to "regular" or "JCW" Mini Coopers:


* Wholly redesigned suspension with coil-overs offering a 0.8-inch range of adjustment
* Lowered by 0.8 inch in the front and 0.6 inch at the rear
* Spring rates have increased by 50 percent with anti-roll bar diameters remaining the same
* Front brake hardware includes larger, 13-inch vented front discs and six-piston fixed calipers
* A rear wing, diffuser, and underbody panels reduce lift at the rear axle by 90 percent at speeds above 62 mph
* 7.5- by 17-inch aluminum wheels GP style
* With two degrees of negative camber and reduced toe-in, the GP is set up to make good use of its rubber
* 218 hp and 192 lb-ft of torque
* Recaro seats with red GP stitching
* Rear seats removed in favor of a rear strut reinforcement brace to minimize weight and body sway


The styling is very appealing (in my opinion and others' opinions) - contrasting gray and black with red accents/graphics and graphite rear wing.


The "speed claims" are real - read about the 8:23 time set at the famous German race course (Nurburgring) - not far from times set by hyper-expensive supercars!
Here is your chance to own (and drive) this fun toy - and collector's item!
