Yea.... sometimes a true under underappreciated gem pops up.
I've seen lots of aloofness or being 'put off' by a poor photo, bad description or omission of details spoil a sale or have people ask something like this......
...." How did that gem stay on the market for so long?" or "I didn't think much of it when I saw it first"
To the inquisitive go the spoils IMO...

On the 05 hyper blue,you would think he’d know better and include the money shot, raises just a little suspicion, but if i were looking i would say good chance it is. no harm in asking.

That ebay listing is getting lotsa looks, seems like a good deal indeed, but as you say an inspection would be necessary --- I've been working in Anniston Alabama the last couple of weeks and going back there for several days this week so I'd be about an hour away from the car.
I actually kind of like the improper placement of the front JCW badge.
The AutoCheck vehicle history report in the listing is pretty cool...
...originally sold in Ohio where the first owner kept it for 2.5 years, then went to Cali where it stayed for 13.5 years --- putting on my Sherlock cap for wild speculation, I'd reckon that the 2nd owner loved the car dearly and had the JCW kit installed, main clue is that particular valve cover...
...that along with the # would roughly date it to early 2005.
I posted about that run of "cracked" covers earlier in this thread:

:
As a side note, some nice roads can be found in Alabama but too many damn dirt roads where you see some super squigglies on the map and then navigate to them only to discover that it's often unpaved, but otherwise still good fun.

I haven't had much recent luck with the boneyards,
but this just popped up on my alerts...
...near Tampa in Largo:
https://www.lkqpickyourpart.com/loca...6-mini-cooper/
Too far for me at the moment, otherwise I'd go have a looksee.
Wheels look nice + aftermarket exhaust.
*edit:
wheel design appears to be Gram Lights 57DR:
would be killer if they are, but most likely knockoffs eh?
still worth checking just to see!
Aquablue steering wheel + clear acrylic shiftknob is a bit over-the-top for my tastes, but I still think it's cool that somebody took the time to mod...
...btw,
can anyone tell me what mod this is?
Oil cooler perhaps?
FMIC?
Note the joey headlights.

I would typically dismiss those right away. I might miss out on something, but not worth the experience to me.

Saw that...crazy. That car could be found and bought here for $8500 in that condition. Judging by some of the comments, I believe there’s bidders on this car and some of the other average minis, that don’t really know much about the cars in general. Good for the sellers I guess. These are pretty much bottom of the barrel for BAT. The JCWs and GPs bring in a more knowledge crowd. I’d laugh if someone paid over $12k for it. Would have to be a newbie with deeper pockets than he deserves.

What if the boat was already sunk? Then the tide wouldn’t make a difference. And if a boat is sunk, is it still a boat since it can’t float? Lol (I know that quote has nothing to do with boats)
I’m amazed at what people pay for these cars on BaT. I could find a nicer car than that with the same miles for $5-6k.
