I wonder if the Mini can maintain it's high re-sale value in these times.
Maybe like the housing market the Mini used price will drop to what other cars drop to percentage wise

 

With gas prices at about half the price when Mini's were getting top used car prices, there might be some drop in price on used Mini's. I would think it's mostly a matter of supply and demand. If sales of pre owned Mini's slow, available stock increases, then pricing will ease somewhat. But if the car continues to grow in popularity and used Mini demand is tight, then resale pricing will continue to remain strong. JMO...but what do I know
