2012 clubman jcw $17,000 good deal?
I come from the bmw e30 world so new to the mini’s. I have been doing quite a bit of research because this deal came around to me and I guess I’m having trouble pulling the trigger.
the car offered is a fully loaded 2012 JCW Clubman. Recaro seats, etc. Sticker was over 40k. Clean excellent condition with all the records. About 50k miles.
I’m aware of the n14 issues, however, from what I gather they are manageable. It’s had the tensioner replaced and oil checked and tipped off monthly.
I don’t see too many for sale so I’m asking the forum, Is $17k a good deal? Anyone have any insight that would help pursuade me either way. Thanks all

I got my JCW R55 back in Dec and it wasn't near that price so that is pretty high, I felt like I paid extra just because it had the right options I was wanting, but if someone wants it that's up to them.

Prior to acquiring my 14 JCW, I was seriously looking at S4 avant, 2003 M5, or even a 996 4s, I checked Edmund tmv, NADA n KBB, the values on these older cars are all lower than asking and sale prices. But with the recent Minis, you can prob check them and go by the book values? I paid a couple hundred bucks over the mean book value of all 3.

Admittedly, it is high for a 6 year old car to be holding that much of its value. Maybe it gives you some negotiating points based on the known upkeep of the N14 and age?

It has technology pkg, premium pkg, cold weather pkg, mini connect and nav, panoramic sunroof, adaptive headlights, rear fog, Recaro seats. $44k sticker. I drive a ‘91 bmw so I’m not used to a lot of options, but don’t get me wrong I do enjoy them. I was thinking I’d try and knock it down 1500 or so

I have an issue with options, always feel like I’m missing something when there is a blank spot on the console where a switch or button should be.
Sounds like you have have a good approach on pricing. Best of luck and let us know how it turns out.

All relative to whether or not it has the options you’re looking for. A JCW clubman is rare, with recaros, even more so. When you say fully loaded, does that mean it has things like sunroof and nav, or with the way MINI options it, does it have everything including rear fogs, cornering headlights, etc.?
