Just looking for a reality check. I think I got a really good deal. I found a certified pre owned 2011 Mini Cooper S hardtop with mini connect, premium package, cold weather package, leather, xenons, 100k maintenance , 100k warranty , roughly four years time wise left . Car has 47k miles on the clock. Excellent condition, new tires. And of course manual transmission . Out the door with tax and title in MN for just under $20k. Also came with compete maintenance records.

Sounds like a good deal to me! My 2011 MCS has been reliable. Enjoy!

Yeah it would have made sense to ask first, but after the test drive didn't want to risk it going to someone else.

I'll get some pics for everyone on Wednesday. They are adding some sport stripes to it and replacing the clear bra on the hood.

Thus, I dealt with Des Moines instead (even though I had been loyal to Motorwerks for many years).

In your case, I think it's a good news story. The fact that Motorwerks may be inclined to offer less than neighboring MINI dealerships for a trade-in probably means they can re-sell it for less and still clear their desired profit. I think you paid a very fair price for your MINI.

And BTW, it looks fantastic!


**I also had the sunroof and driving lights
