We are weeks away from posting our beloved 2003 Cooper S for sale to make room for the 07 we have on order. Because there seems to be quite a lot of opinions out there and I don't want to get flamed, I thought I would ask all of the NAM readers what they think our car should sell for. Please note, some of the pics on the site do not reflect the parts currently installed.
Here it is:

It has 49K miles on it and a very small ding on the rear (very shallow) by the Cooper S logo, a shallow ding on one side (again, very shallow) and the hood is smattered with rock chips. The front and rear bumpers are brand new (they were supplied on a car that got a Aero Kit at the dealer before delivery and are now on our car). There have been a handfull of warranty parts and service done at MAG in columbus Ohio.

Fire away. The car will be for sale in a few weeks.

We are considering giving a Out Motoring gift certificate with the car so the new owner can buy some stuff to make it theirs once the get it...(maybe $200-400 or so)

What's it worth? This would be an ideal format for your answers.

Sell it super fast= $$$$ ??
May take a few weeks at= $$$$ ???
Never sell it if you ask for= $$$$$ ???
I'll buy it for $$$$$??? right now.

 

$499.87. Where should I Paypal the money to?

 

I, um don't have...a...ummm paypal account. Can you send a blank check and i will fill it in for you?....that would work best.

 

Imight be able to do that.

 

Lots of miles, dings and bad paint plus mods that don't add a cent to resale value. Quick sale around $16,000 and forget it above $19,000.

 

for you maybe.... I put 40k/year on my cars...

 

I would say 17000-18000 would be fair

 

not- so- redandwhite I wasn't making a comment on the number of miles people put on thier cars anualy, I was only trying to give a real world view of resale values. Lighten up, not many of us put that kind of milage on our cars.

 

Real world values are not the 10-12k that most places say the average American drives per year.

Most of us DO put 25-30k+ a year on out vehicles, wither it be combined over a few vehicles or on a single vehicle.

49k for a ~3 year old car is slightly below "average" for a car its age.

 

I say 16k

 

MAY i suggest edmunds.com or kbb.com

 

Sell it fast: $17,900
Sell it eventually: $19,900
Never sell it: over $20k
OMG, where's my checkbook: $15k

Good luck. Someone will get a really nice MINI.

 

I can do that. Please, hold on to the said "blank check" until I have taken delivery, properly examined, tested and approved of the vehicle...

 

Oh yeah, Aaron, you already know this I'm sure, but to get the most return out of your mods, pull 'em and sell 'em. (dibs on the Euro shelf)

 

You are way off base. The average American puts 12K miles on any one car. Period.

Most of US do not put 25K on a vehicle. Maybe most of you ... but you cannot speak for US.

This is a 4 year old car. 48K is average. No penalty for overmileage. No discount for low mileage

 

keep em' coming....

 

For sale:

for whatever it's worth -- and in my opinion kbb isn't worth much -- typical mileage for this car listed by kbb is 57k

 

Sell it fast: $17,000
Sell it eventually: $19,000
Never sell it: over $20k
OMG, where's my checkbook (...or at least make me go: :impatient ): $13k

Special price for a product supplier's unpaid assistant?

 

So how much are you going to sell it for??

 

ive seen this car in person and its very clean. brg aint my color but it looks pretty damn slick.

and aaron is one hell of a guy that sells awesome products to the mini community. that has to be worth an extra 1k!

 

$17.5K Plus a date with some girl I don't know.

Really though, damn good looking MINI. I wannnnnnnnt!

 

17,900
