Hi, I have been looking at cars for the last month due to me being in an accident and my car being a write off. I love the mini's. Just here in Canada they are going for outrageous prices. I have found a 2004 with 31000km going for 25900 dollars canadian. It's in mint condition,, leather interior.. and so forth. I was just wondering if anyone thought this was a bit steep of a price since a 2006 starts just under 30 000 dollars. Also how do they handle in the winter and are they a good hwy car? Thanks

 

Welcome! Deffinitly order new if you can...it's your best bet. If you cannot afford a brand new one just keep looking around until you find a good deal on a used one. If people want to sell the car, they will lower the price.

Bottom Line - Order new and get exactly what YOU want. Only downside is the wait....but o well.

Hello!

I also started looking at used MINI's but they were $25-27k...I ended
up ordering brand new and the final price was right around $27k! Plus,
I was able to pick exactly what I wanted, I didn't have to settle!

Currently, my MINI is crossing the north atlantic and I can't wait! NAM has
made the waiting period less painful.

Since I live in Michigan, I also had questions about MINI's and the snow...
NAM provided awesome feedback and I found out that the MINI handles
great in the snow!

Good luck in your decision! Either way, you'll LOVE your MINI!

 

Recently, I have followed several used MINIs for sale in my area and the cars were on the market for a while. In one particular case -- used MINI on BMW used car lot -- the dealer dropped price by several thousand dollars over the span of several months before car ad no longer appeared and I assume car then sold for the new lower price.

Used MINI prices are indeed softening.

Sincerely,

RockC.
