Hi all. Looking to upgrade my 2010 MCS with 49k miles to possibly a 2013 JCW with 14,500 miles.

Comes pretty much loaded with all the options, aero,HK, Recaro's etc. Is $29998 a bit much? This is from a local MINI dealership of course. Is there anything I should be aware of? I'm not too familiar with JCW just yet. It has the N18 engine, which is great!

Thanks!

 

Is the 2013 JCW covered under the MINI Next program?

They should give you at least $10,000 for 2010 MCS if you're going to do a trade in.

Yes, 2013 JCW has the N18 engine...

 

It is. I went to carmax this afternoon and they offered me $12,000. Not too shabby. I only have $6500 to put down after selling the MCS. I'd be happy to get into something around $24,000. Hmm

 

I feel like a 2013 with that amount of miles at that price point is not bad. If it is under MINI Next, I say get it for sure!

 

The JCW has always been pricey...especially, when you're buying it from a MINI dealer.

However, you're getting a major engine upgrade and if you don't have a warranty on your 2010 MCS...it could get costly in the future.

 

Only problem is my payoff for my MCS is around 9800. Doh.

 

That's my reasoning behind this purchase.. I bought my 2010 MCS this past may. Should have went with a JCW to begin with.

 

Hey - $12,000 is a good price for your 2010 MCS. I'm glad to hear that it's a MINI Next car.

 

As I'm sure you already know the JCW used the N14 engine thru 2012. If you're really serious about getting a JCW...then the 2013 with its N18 engine is a good option, if it fits your budget.

 

Yep! 2013 or bust.

 

So I found another JCW.. But it's a CPO, No climate control though.. Asking $32.000.

Would you guys choose the extra warranty over a must have feature?

 

You can always ask the MINI dealer to CPO the other one, given that you are actually buying it.

 

Warranty

 

I also would choose warranty over something like climate control. If the CPO one is within your budget, do it!

 

Yep! Will hopefully be coming home with it tonight! Stay tuned!

 

Awesome! If you did, you've gotta share pics

 

Hopefully this week! Trying to scrape together the down payment.

Cool! Waiting for the pictures. What about ur 2010 MCS?

 

Crevier took my 2010 as a trade in! They matched CarMax! They only made $700 from the deal. Pictures to follow

 

Excellent! I'm very happy to hear that the trade worked out.

 

Awesome. That sounds like a beautiful JCW
