2004 Mini Cooper JCW, Super Low miles - $10750 on ebay, no reserve

Year: 2004
Make: MINI
Model: Hardtop
Price: $11000
Mileage: 19200
Color: Grey
Private or Dealer Listing: Private Listing
Location (Region): NorthWest

Auction ends tomorrow for those interested:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/112585642451

Sold OEM car cover and the OEM fog lights, lowered price accordingly...

Bought this car early 2017, and while this is one of the most enjoyable cars I have owned, I need to clear the garage a bit. I have 4 cars and a 2 car car garage, and sadly I cannot drive all cars as much as I would like. I am trying to sell this and my 370Z to make room for an M3.

More details here, happy to provide potential buyers with more info.
https://portland.craigslist.org/wsc/...264370806.html

I am meticulous about my cars, since I bought this one I took my time detailing this car and cleaning it up, it cleaned up incredibly well - no wheel scratches (had them redone), paint is in great shape with the exception of some minor tiny chips (what you'd find on a car with 20k miles I guess), no dents (had them all professionally removed). For those into detailing - I polished car using Menzerma products and an orbital polisher, and applied Opticoat to the entire car, looks great now. Leather was conditioned with Leatherique.

Nope, I have not priced it according to KBB, I tried to go off what I see as sold cars on eBay, and on various forums. If this car is only worth 9k I will simply keep it as a daily driver, I could think of much worse DD's to own. As I lowered the price into the mid 13's it seems to get more interest, and I will keep lowering if it doesn't sell, but it gets to a point where is not worth selling anymore.

I wish everyone would go off KBB, then I would be able to save myself $10k if not more on these M3's I am trying to buy.

When you are buying a car you love KBB, when you are selling, lets just say you do not.

Good luck.

What year M3 you talking?

Well spoken R53coop, all car guys want to get top dollar for our toys and pay bottom dollar for excellent shape low mileage cars. I tend to overpay for super clean low mileage somewhat cool cars. I have an E55 AMG with 28k miles that I got from the original owner, and I certainly wish I could have gotten it for KBB, wasn't the case, far from it. Love it though and will probably never sell it.

I am lucky enough that my wife likes cars too, but I simply had too many, not practical or wise... sold my 370Z, so Mini is next. I see you had an RX7, such cool cars, I had a Turbo 87, such sweet fun car.

Would like to get an E92 M3 with competition package, but I'm also looking at some 996 Porsches, I am in the minority but I think the 996 C4S looks awesome. I am sure I will love either car, but I want to take my time and find the right car.

Thinking the 996 had rear seal issues but at least the weight was under 3,000 lbs. Cannot say that for the M3.

For me you cannot beat the feel of a lightweight nimble car. Yes there are heavier cars that are "nimble" but in a turn or coming over a rise in the road you cannot mask the weight.

It had some issues but I have been researching it quite a bit, lots of overblown internet stuff too. With a PPI inspection and a good mechanic, I would feel OK I guess. Hard to find the right one though. I missed on a nice 2003 C4S with 20k miles last week, asking price was 32k, guy got an out of state deposit on it within 15 minutes, nuts! I am second in line, we will see.

And I agree, the feel of the Mini is unparalleled, I drive mine every day and love it. Much funner drive than my 370Z in my opinion, very nimble and precise.
