Been trying to get an idea if this is a good deal or not

2009 Hardtop S

9k miles

Manual tranny

Pepper white roof and body

Sun roof

Premium package
Cold weather package
16 Inch alloy wheels (black)
cold cliamate version (?)
shipping package(?)
Sport button
Bluetooth and usb

the car doesn't have leather and the body is 9.5 out of 10 ( few very minor blemishes)

also not certified. a little less than a year left on the bumber to bumber

Thanks for the input

 

I would say for those packages and miles on the car is perfect for that price tag. I would try to stay caution though about the timing chain tensioner. I would at least call a MINI dealership and ask for a price on extending the drive train warranty. Other than that, good luck on the purchase!

 

Yes. MINI doesn't depriciate very fast.

 

great thanks. Sticker price was 21,900 and i was wondering how low I can haggle him for. Then thing is all the dealers i went to only have 2 or 3 S's in stock they sell fast I guess

 

dealer told me it would be about $900 bucks to extend the warranty to 60k 36 months

 

Sounds like a fairly decent price, but I'd see if I can talk them down more. Check on the timing chain tensioner. With that few miles, it may not have been done.

Oh, and you should ask about getting an extended warranty. But you'll be better off with a bumper to bumper one...the bumber to bumber may not cover what you want.

Best of luck!

 

not sure if this helps at all or not but i traded in my 2012 MCS hardtop for $22k with:

3300 miles
auto tranny
sunroof
cold weather package
BT/ipod connectivity

 

You might as well try to grind them down a little bit, especially if the timing chain system hasn't been checked.
