I just traded in my absolutely base Cooper (only option was sport seats) and got $17,500. Kind of amazing b/c I only paid $18,000 in Dec '06. So, if I do the math correctly, my car had a 97% residual value on the purchase price of $18000 and a 94% residual on the MSRP of $18,700! It's making the decision on pulling the trigger on a new Clubman a little easier, that's for sure.

Speaking of which, I'm trying to make the call on whether to order a Clubman S with GPS Nav, Premium Package, and 18" wheels or a JCW Clubman with the Premium Package only. Affordability isn't a problem for me between the two, but I don't feel comfy going any higher on the JCW Clubman as it's already about a $5K swing in price. Therefore I probably wouldn't think about adding any more to the JCW. Any thoughts on which way to go based on experience with the nav system, wheel size, prior experience with '08 JCW dealer modified Coopers, etc.?

 

Tough decisions !
