Hi all. I am looking at an 2015 F56 steptronic MCS with fully loaded set up. It has bonnet stripes and JCW spoiler and all that with every switches on the center console activated (meaning all the packages, premium, cold weather, wired, nav, etc. except the front windshield defroster) It also has the driver assistance as well as active cruise control.
the steering wheel is the sport steering whee with paddle shifters, presumably this is a sport transmission with the JCW gear ****.

the condition was perfect with minor scratches on the leather seats. It also has the sunroof.

The mileage is 61K but according to the Carfax report the recorded maintenance stopped after 2019 at 38k miles.

This car is currently at Carmax and they have checked and serviced everything according to the inspection list.

the price is $20K without extended warranty.

despite a little overpriced than what most other cooper s are selling, it is a fully loaded setup that that’s rare. And I was originally aiming for many of these functions if I were to spec one myself.

Can I trust this to run comfortably for the next at least four years with low miles put on it?

I am also thinking of getting a Lemonsquad inspection on it before I put down the money as an extra precaution.

So, basically, considering the current shortage of cars, is this price reasonable? Should I go for the extended warranty for another couple grands?

Thank you!

 

Dealer probably has about $10-12k in it I'd guess. A year ago I traded in my 2014 JCW Coupe (not fully loaded, 50k miles), cost $39k new, for $11k.

 

Yeah I understand… but at this point in time finding a fully loaded Mini is quite hard. Do you reckon it’s better to get a new one for 38k? I assume you still have to pay for all the maintenance.

 

You could probably find a newer cool from the MINI dealer with less miles for a little more. I was looking at 2019 and 2020 MINI Cooper S that were Ironic models for around 22-24k last Dec.

 

thanks for the info. Unfortunately I have looked up all over the dealers and none of them have the fully loaded setup. Since many of these features cost thousands I assume this price is reasonable.

 

Just did a quick search and found a 2018 MCS with 29k miles for 20,999 at mini of Ramsey. This one looks to be well equiped.

 

The owner probably stopped talking it to the dealer after the free maintenance period expired.
Many shops don't report to Carfax as dealers do, so I wouldn't worry.

 

Thank you! That’s a huge relief if that’s the case. I still ordered a lemonsquad inspection just to be safe. But if it all look good I might not need to pick the $6000 extended warranty.

 

From what I understand the price of both new and used cars has gone WAY UP recently.

 

If you pick the $6000 extended warranty, that might put you really close to a nicely equipped 2020 MCS. https://sfbay.craigslist.org/scz/cto...345838974.html

 

wow that seems really enticing… I would have taken it if it comes with the nav tho. And sadly it will take a few thousands just to have it shipped to me. :(
