Has anyone seen this on Ebay yet?
Plus fitting of course which you would have to arrange yourself.
What do you think?

bloody hell, surely too good to be true

minibrand · Apr 12th, 2006, 08:13 PM

Incidentally not my advert, already got 210 works, or I might of been interested.

irishbackpacker · Apr 12th, 2006, 08:13 PM

how could they get it and make profit for that price??is the 3000 price from the garage including fitting??

cooper7 · Apr 12th, 2006, 08:14 PM

ECU remap? Hmm fitting wonder how much that would be?! Good that it has the certificate of authenticity that is a serious bonus

irishbackpacker · Apr 12th, 2006, 08:17 PM

still something dodgy about it i think, although cant make out what it is, everything looks aok

minibrand · Apr 12th, 2006, 08:20 PM

Must be surplus to requirements at a dealers, or to fund the tea club at between the workers?

buds · Apr 12th, 2006, 08:28 PM

Have to say im a bit of a sceptic, but you never know it could be a steal! Only thing worth checking is how much a BMW/Mini garage would charge to install. That is assuming they'd install it if it was sourced outside them. You may find some wont, and if not installed by them, they wont want to know as far as keeping warranty etc goes.

I might add i have a Cooper with JCW SKit, so its incidental to me. But the old adage springs to mind, 'If its too good to be true, it probably is'

irishbackpacker · Apr 12th, 2006, 08:31 PM

yea buds i agree with you, my garage are such sticklers i doubt they would fit it, but if you or i were the seller, why would we sell it that cheap when we could get so much more. Plus, the exhaust tip looks dodgy in the pic

I think thats just the plastic bags still around the tips.

buds · Apr 12th, 2006, 08:49 PM

Dont get me wrong, this could be a 100% genuine sale, and as such a real bargain. If i had a Cooper S and £1500 i'd look into it. But i just see to many potential probs with the install and warranty.

And tbh thats only reason people go with JCW, is to keep warranty. Dont get me wrong they have an amazing pedigree with the car, and the kit is fantastic. But if it voided the warranty like aftermarket kits, i doubt JCW would sell so well due to their being better cost/perfomance kits.

PS - Hi Irishbackpacker, always nice to see fellow Emerald Isle populai

irishbackpacker · Apr 12th, 2006, 08:57 PM

you too, another eb too!!!u coming to mtm??

dannit · Apr 12th, 2006, 08:58 PM

They are all stolen apparently, Quote Ebay costomer questions, and will be removed ASAP!!!

irishbackpacker · Apr 12th, 2006, 09:00 PM

ah the plot thickens

LMB · Apr 12th, 2006, 09:02 PM

If something is too good to be true it is.

buds · Apr 12th, 2006, 09:06 PM

LMB know im being pedantic, but aint it if something is too good to be true, it is?

And Irishbackpacker, i would've loved to hit MtM this year but girl wants a foreign holiday so im abroad at time it happens. Woulda worked out so well too, as it falls during my fortnight holidays.

Ah well next year for me!

irishbackpacker · Apr 12th, 2006, 09:10 PM

ah crap. grr to that, it should be good!!

ScottishcooperS · Apr 14th, 2006, 12:35 PM

I spoke to the buyer and everything is legitemate! A BMW dealership were moving buildings and had lots of stock left over that they didnt want to move, so the guy who
is selling the works kit got all the stock for a set price and it just so happened that
a works 210 brandnew with everything was amongst the stock.
