Is your MINI for sale?

Face it, everyone has their price. If someone came along and offered you $X dollars for your Cooper, would you take it? What's your price?

For me in today's economy with gas prices & all, I would say about $25-$30k would be my selling price. Granted, I bought it for about half that, but hey, the sentimental value man!!

Name your price...

If somebody offered me enough money to buy a brand new R52 (not R57) that is exactly like mine I would take it.

My coop has 34,000 miles after 8 months and shes paid for so you'd have to pry the steering wheel from my cold dead hands.

mine's not worth much now...

95,000 km, 03 MCS DS/W, bone stock canadian version

i think if someone offered 15 for it stock, or 18 for it as is, i'd probably be happy

Like you said, everything has a price, but someone would have to be a fool to give me the kinda $$$ I would need to part with mine!

I agree with TWON!

I've got my CRX on the bulletin board at work
for $89,500!
HA HA
(inside joke here)

Maybe bill gates will walk through and make an
impulse buy.....

I'd take what I owe on the mini. I mean, I actually
have no emotional attachment to it other than it is
a super nice car.

But I would turn around and buy an 08, ordered the way
I want it. (bought off the lot)

That's how I feel. Since they aren't making the R53 anymore and I'd want to buy another ...I'd either hang on to mine or sell it to a fool with deep pockets.

Hmmmm, I love my '05 R53 S hardtop. At 43K miles is just getting better and better (Like fine wine).

Mine is pretty basic...CR/W, union jack flag on the roof, exterior chrome pack, new 16" S-Winder rims (I still have the original V-Spokes put away and possibly going on sale), Harmon Kardon, leatherette sports seats, anthracite dash/door trim, front/rear fogs, MFSW, 28% tints front, 15% tints back, front clear bra, 6-speed manual (No LSD), iPod adaptor, automatic rear view mirror, rain sensing wipers, homelink remote buttons.

I paid for it brand new in early 2005: $22,900. My price? $19,000...It is fully paid off with a free and clear title The car is all original. Not a single scratch, dent and door ding (yes it is a daily driver, amazing, eh?)

Oh and it has the 6 year/100K mile extended MINI service contract fully transferable to a second owner. All brake pads, rotors, belts, clutch, etc are fully covered.

I love this car!

I would consider selling my baby for $40K to some desperate fool who didn't know better. But since that's never gonna happen, I guess I'm stuck with her for a long long time

Since the R53/52 is no longer in production I would have to say that for me to part with my R52 someone would
have to give me enough to buy another R52 with all the bells and whistles.

So if there is anyone out there that would like to buy my 07 MCS Cabrio the price is $55,000 non-negotiable.

I'd accept $1000 for my place in line to order one -- so I could fly to another city and have a far more memorable drive home with my new Clubman (and possibly receive it sooner).
