Advice on selling 2008 Cabrio

Hi all

I have a 2008 Mini Cooper S convertible, with the Sidewalk malt brown leather and limited slip diffs - it's in incredible condition (always garaged) and only done 53K miles. I live in Northern California in the SF Bay area.

What I'm looking for is general advice on the best way to sell the car - the Mini dealer offered $8K which seemed a little low.

Open to all advice.

Phil

Good luck selling that, not in the market but wishing I was right now, you should get a premium for it. The Sidewalk edition is just fabulous.

Great MINI convertible, I would post it in the marketplace with lots of pics and full list of factory options, it will sell . I really like the sidewalk edition.

When I traded in my 2008 MINI Cooper S in June 2014 at the Kia dealer (for a 2014 Kia Soul) the dealer gave me $8,000.

Thanks for all the great replies guys. I will get the details together and post with some pics on the marketplace.

Does anyone know how much it would be worth? I honestly have no idea...

Lol - No, it's an abbreviation of my first and last names :-)

Quite a coincidence. I spent considerable time in my younger days exploring those mountain trails.

There are some that have been on there and sold. Check through the pages of listings for sidewalks.
