New mini order?

Currently have an 07, bought / ordered new, joined here at same time. Looking at a new Mini. Ordering / building looks to be a little different? No second color for top? Also did not see any ‘add on’ for inside roof color, in 07, was able to order blac instead of gray. Seemed in 07 able to order several options on build

also, are the 19’ out? Just started looking.... was a little shocked to see the current value of my 07

I am with you 100% on the moon/sun roof. I understand that the 2019 can be ordered w/ that option deleted regardless of which tier you choose. There was some talk about a rebate offered if you chose to go with the delete option. BTW, it's done at the dealership when the do the actual order form which provides a bit more customization that the online configuator allows..

You can definitely order without the sunroof and there is a discount. I can't remember how much it is. I want to say $750. There is no discount, however, for a manual transmission.

Here is the code:
ZMR - Without Panoramic Moonroof

What's your 2007 worth? I traded in my 2007 in 2014 at the Mini dealership where I bought my new JCW Coupe. I think I got about $8k for it. MCS cost about $30k new. Yours is probably worth about $5k. Maybe less. Minis are bad resale cars.

I & NADA agree on your value guess on my 07, just cleaned her up today, actually looks Super nice, will sell my self, should not be hard to sell at that price point, nice car, 40mpg and for 11 years old, low milage, paying cash for new Mini, have Time to sell, that $$ is not needed for new Mini

Couple benefits of a trade....no tire kickers and you'll realize a sale tax saving w/ a trade. Do some math and figure if what you'll get on a private sale will make up for what you get for a lower trade offer + the sales tax savings.

Yes, have to say, pretty disappointing to see the value after ownership (particularly if the car still looks, and performs well and has been trouble free).
