It will take some kind of addict, with a wallet and no desire to buy a new and re-sellable car. It is not like these have appreciated to a level that commands these dollars.
I buy cars like this for under $4K (dealer auctions) and I only get a few $K over that at most (after I bring them up to a decent level). I have customers all the time, buying Minis and used car buyers most often want more and want to give you less. Private sellers usually have a reason to sell a car and that is your only real advantage.
With the low miles, it is better than average, but still not that much better, as most addicts would tear them apart to make them special for them, therefore the low miles is not the charm for them.
