The car is an 05 MCS, Pure Silver with space grey pleather, sports package with chrono package, 21k miles, warranty till July of 09 and JCW aero kit, JCW exhaust and JCW suspension. This car has new tires, no curb rash on wheels, not one dent or ding everything is 110% in and out and every recept for the JCW stuff and all services done at Haberstad Mini are with the books in the glove box.
I let her go for $22,500, this is a must see super clean MCS
PS. I am in Sea Cliff, NY 11579

did u check kelly blue book?

 

are all JCWs stick shift?

 

sorry about that - I checked the mini site and answered my own question...

sucks - auto I woulda bought it.

fwiw, I'm not some doofus american that can't drive stick - I would much prefer to - leg's messed up and clutch would be a bear.

 

I am not looking for Kelly Blue book numbers or some company that collects data, I would rather have the thoughts and opinions of Mini enthusiasts.

 

$25,000-26k? I dunno - just throwing something out there - what was it new?

 

i got my 2005 MCS conv with 42,000 for $18,000

 

I bought 2 months ago an 2005 MCS, all packages, no JCW, but only 11k miles and I only paid $18k in Pittsburgh. The week before some lady sold hers (same exact car) here in Pittsburgh for $15k w/ 33k miles..........man did I almost cry when I missed that deal!

I would give you 18k all day long, nice car!

 

OMG... i paid too much for my car..may i know where u found yr deal in pittsburg?

 

Let me know how much you want to sell for. Although not the color I'm looking for, I may be interested if this is a good deal.

I'm located in NJ, btw.

 

I think I would rather pay an extra $3,000 like you did, because the ware and tare factor or your car with 11k miles vs. a car with 33k miles (not that 33k is so high) 11k miles, I would guess your car was not used much and probably in superb condition.

 

With the JCW upgrades, Options and low milage, I wouldn't let it go for less than $20,000.
Also factor in higher demand due to increasing fuel costs.

 

I have been looking everyday for a 2005-2008 MINI and so far the 2005's go anywhere between $17,000-$21,000 depending of course on condition, mileage and the part of the country you are in.

 

I've been watching used MINI prices for 5 years now... and can basically say they are all over the map... MINI's have been histoically difficult due to the high demand early in their life which skewed used-values more than a little. Remember, a base '05 MCS started under $20K but could easily optioned up to $40K or more. Combine that with comparitively low numbers and you have an incredibly wide range of used car prices.

A price guides is simply that: a guide... which represents an average of low to high sale prices in a given area... no more... no less... and it is NOT written in stone.

I've seen cars with insanely low asking prices sit for weeks... and I've seen cars with prices that made me laugh sell within days. There are simply too many variables in options, market, selling area and how quickly YOU need to sell... Therefore, asking any of us will not really give you an accurate number. Non-owners looking to buy will say it's worth nothing... Current owners will say it's worth a lot...

So seriously, go to the guides (NADA, KBB, Edmunds) and see what they say and start from there. In the end, the car is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. No more. No less.

 

I'd actually be interested in taking a look at it if you decide to sell. I'm located in NJ and make it up to Long Island every now and then. Thanks!

 

Whoops. Ignore this!

 

It seams like prices are all over the place and it is too clean of a car to sell on a whim unless my neighbor commits to selling me his r-56 (that he said is too small for him).

The car is 2005 MCS, sport package, sport s-light wheels, xenon lights, chrome interior trim, sport chrono display, I-pod adapter, JCW suspension, JCW aero kit, JCW exhaust. The car got new rotors, and pads on all 4 wheels within the last 1000 miles.

That covers most of what is in the car along with the pictures that are posted.

 

Hmmm... just wondering... is the car for sale or still feeling it out?

 

I started the thread as a feeler because a friend that’s thinking of selling his r56.

My intention was to take the money from my car (if sold) and use it toward my friends 2007 r56, however he's still not sure if he wants to sell his. I'm not ready to part with my car yet, however If someone came to me with an offer that I cant turn down $22,500, then I would let it go and put the proceeds towards the purchase of a new JCW r56 (I saw a red one at Haberstad Mini this morning, and wow)....

Not to discourage anyone, but my car is not for the barging hunter. This car is for the person that has or is looking for a pure silver 2005-2006 r53 hard top with the options that I have.

It is super clean…. The car has no dings, no curb rash, everything on the car is like new and it still has one year of warrantee, and comes with all service records, it has new breaks and rotors on all 4 wheels (less then 500 miles on pads and rotors and around 3,500 miles on tires). I have an extra set of BMW/ Mini front pads new in the box that will go with the car. It's a great ride and needs nothing but a great home.

 

Is this car for sale?

If so then according to the Marketplace Guidelines you need to post an asking price.

 

Yes it's officially for sale! See my last post for details (above this one).

 

Ok, so I can't read sometimes. Sorry...my mistake...

Move along..just trying to remove foot from mouth...nothing to see

 

I take it the thread is back open?

Why did you need to replace the brake rotors and pads so soon?

 

It was covered under the factory free maintenance program.

I am sure the car only needed rear pads (if that, the light never came on), but why question it since it was no $ out of pocket and the free maintenance was funning out I did not ask any questions. If you are intrested in the car I can provide all recipets.
