I just went to my local mini dealer (Huntington NY) to look at a 2006 Royal Grey Cooper S. The only options that it has are the color, armrest and 17" wheels. Nothing else was added. With only 7300 miles the dealer is asking $20,900. Does that seem good for a car with really no options or a bit high? I was hoping to get it down to around $19000.

 

That sounds like a fair price, but you should go to Edmunds.com to find the true market value.

 

Most dealerships mark up their used cars about 2k -2500. If you go in a offer 19k they will try to bump you up to 19500 or so. If you offer 18500 you may get it around 19k.

 

According to Edmunds, you should pay $19,289 or $20.922 if it's certified.

 

It's not certified so I'm going to try to go 18000 on it see if they'll go 18500. What's the worst that can happen? There's a lot of used minis in my area.
