...thank you fir reaching out all...just sore I guess...the black Los is odd somewhat -no heated seats(I thought they all did) and I’m wondering if that non original winds hike is incorrect and does not have the rain/windshield sensing option as it should...I’ll check it out but It doesn’t look nearly as good as the one I got screwed on-probably be a looooong time before I find one like that and at that price point-thanks again

And if you really want to be pro active with your search, reach out to these two places.
This guy finds a ton of low mile Gen1s and constantly has them up on Bat.

This, a dealership that seems to always have an inventory of Gen1

You DID get the deposit back from him, correct? He has absolutely no basis for keeping it (even if he considered it non refundable), since he did not honor the contract.

Wow. **** move.... sorry you had to experience that. But like others said, you might have dodged a bullet. Given his lack of morals, you wonder if there was anything else wrong with the car.
You wonder why the car was priced so low, when a similar car was just sold on BAT for $3k more.

That's pretty close to my dream spec right there!
Low mileage Checkmate JCW slicktop, HOT DAMN!
$13k not overly ridiculous and would be highly highly tempted to fly across the country for it if I had the immediate funds but unfortunately I do not right now and I'm hesitant to take out a loan...
...but,
if it sits there for a while because people balk at the price then dammit! maybe I would go ahead and get a loan for it if the price drops enough! LOL
I will be keeping an eye on it,
thanks for posting the link!
PS
is this car listed on any other sites?
Although the dealer has ***'d out the VIN, sometimes it'll be listed in full somewhere like CarGurus etc.
Would love to see the build sheet for it.

^^^ From original thread post 2335 is dealer's Carfax report with VIN, which took me to Bimmer.work for build details:

Here's another site with it, with the VIN included: https://www.carfax.com/vehicle/WMWRE33566TN25358
This is an interesting car to me BTW, because the BRG one I want in San Diego has the checker wing, checker mats, rearview, sideview mirrors, silver top, and modern silver bonnet stripes... It's almost like the green one is a pseudo cross-breed Checkmate package car but not quite. The really curious thing though is that the green one has what appear to be aftermarket twin gauges on either side of the tach, just like this blue 'true' Checkmate car has in Sacramento... What's the deal here? California dealer installed gauge package option? Or purely just coincidence?

Wow that checkmate is sweet. Guess that gives me an idea of what mine is worth, at a dealer anyway. Here’s a nice O2 track dog just listed. $7600

This dual gauge setup is aftermarket, but there was a factory steering column dual gauge accessory in addition to the more common under toggle switch gauge accessory that was standard on MC40’s. The pic isn’t very good, but the Sacramento Checkmate looks like it has the factory version.

AFAIK, this hood stripe wasn’t exclusive to the Checkmate, but I’m pretty sure the checkerboard rear wing graphic is aftermarket.

Man that low mile Checkmate with the right OEM wheels and Aero package would be a dream car (green or not!)....
Here's a slightly larger picture I URL 'hacked' from the dealer website:

MINI had interior and exterior checkered mirror caps so those are probably factory. The JCW mats can probably be sold for some good money if they’re not worn out.

BTW, if you want to see what the OEM gauge pods look like, along with the Space Blue Aero kit etc... https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...i-cooper-s-27/ (just don't look at the final sales price - tell me these cars aren't appreciating!)

I'd guess that JCW's ordered with special packages (like Checkmate) will have their own value bump too...which I guess the GP1 counts toward that as well like you said

Yeah mine is actually far nicer than that one at the dealer. Lower miles, more options, and better condition. And...it’s going to be available
