That is a beautiful car! That being said, I think you may struggle to get that price out of it. I know how easy it is to put money into these cars and how it adds up, but from personal experience you hardly ever get close to what you put into them. Great looking car by the way, Good luck!

I will be suprised if you get $35,000 for it. Not to be negative, but Randy couldn't sell his mule for less than this price with every imaginable performance item.

A lot of your cost is because of highly custom labor, which is very hard to get back.

Car is being offered because I'm moving from California to Texas into a new home that won't be ready until August. Don't want to store the car or leave it outside during the summer. If no interest in this price range, I'll store it until the house is ready and continue to enjoy it.

Never have understood why the word investment is always used in connection with customized cars.

custom: made specifically for ones taste
investment: the outlay of time or money for the purpose of profit

Good luck, it is a nice ride

That is one awesome MINI! You should store it and keep it or you'll kick yourself forever if you let it go

I was actually contemplating getting the new Saleen Mustang, but when I sat in one, it felt too big after the Mini. It also still had the mediocre quality fee of Detroit, notwithstanding what Saleen does with the engine, suspension and body moldings. I got back in my Mini and left the Ford dealership never to return. The Mini is a keeper. The wife will have to sell it when I'm pushing up daisies.
