Hey everyone,
I just joined the group because I’m very interested in owning a Mini Cooper and just stumbled upon a reasonably priced JCW; at least in my eyes.
It’s a 2013 Mini Cooper hardtop JCW with 12,500 miles and has been garage kept. Price: $17k.
Is this a reasonable price for this situation/year? Any thoughts/ opinions would be amazing!

Thank you

 

Link to the car? What options does it have? Such low miles is definitely good but keep in mind there are still parts that just wear out due to time and not usage (rubber cracking etc). 17k feels high for me but a link to the ad would help us give better opinions. Would expect something like 12-15k perhaps

 

From everything ive seen online that seems like a good deal considering the low miles.
I think maybe the real question is is whether you should spring for the jcw over the s.

I went for the JCW. good luck!

 

$17k feels way overpriced to me, unless it has under 40k miles on it

Recaro seats are a big plus (for me), very rare option. Average number of options, missing key things that I need such as comfort access, auto-dim mirrors, nav (if nav is req'd for bluetooth audio), parking sensors. Low miles is certainly a plus but still it's a 7yo car, I would still place this in the 13-15k range considering lack of key options.

 

Is the car a real JCW or an S with the JCW trim package. Check the VIN to be sure. If it is a JCW I would agree with 3lusive.

 

It is a real JCW

 

I thought those Recaros were GP2 only, guess not?

 

They are the same ones as the gp2 but were available for for late builds, see https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...an-option.html

 

That’s a really good find. If the CARFAX and owner history look good, I’d jump on it. The low miles are driving the price premium, but probably room for some negotiation.
