I agree with all the comments, there is no way I would pay that much...

With our current exchange rate, a bnew R56 JCW would cost that much here If I remember correctly, a WC50 costs $105,000 here. I'd hate to find out how much they'd sell that here.

$67,000!? Dear god no. Now if Keira Knightley sat in it or drove it once, maybe I'd go as high as $45,000...

$67000?? How do you suppose they arrived at that figure? Why not $75000?

Only someone who needs to show the world that he can afford it, would spend that amount for a MINI. And you can rest assured that he/she is out there.

I would have a lot more respect for the person who bought a $30,000 MINI and gave the difference to charity. Unfortunately, not enough people think that way.

If Keira Knightley came with the car, yes.

I haven't been able to find a price on this yet but I imagine it is pretty close to what the Rolls price is.

Oh course I would if I really wanted it.

I would have paid a million dollars for my 2009 Factory JCW.

************************BUT*********************** *******

I did not have to. I got it for $28,500 brand spanking new.

The reason it is only $67,000 and not $75,000 is to leave room for added options.

As you know, there are plenty of people out there that can afford it and will line up to buy one.

If I really wanted one I would sell a kidney and maybe an eyeball to get one but it is just not the car for me. I'll stick with my Little red Monster.



I think my JCW looks just as good and I'll just keep it for another ten years or so.

Nope. Because I've driven an E90 M3 and you'd be a fool to choose a MINI over that car.
