Yeah, it's a bit pricey, I think $30K is the magic number here.

/me drools. Yeah I really wish I could afford a second MINI too. I'd pay top dollar just for the wheels though.

The mid to low 20's is the going rate. Add a couple of thou at most only for the really low mileage. Whoever has bid 35,000 has not done his homework .

I agree with the price range, but it seems dealers and some sellers are not on board with what the "market will bear" principle. The past few ebay listings did not sell, and worse yet, there were zero bids.

I saw this and thought the OP must have seen a bid somewhere.

It is the GP of the VP of Prestiges MINI, and it does only have 259 miles on it. It was kept in a warehouse on a lift. Babied to death you can be sure. It's at the dealership if you want to look at it. Also you can get extended warranty and tire/rim insurance if you go to the dealer to buy instead of EBAYing it.
