bump. 400 views and 1 response. im open to reasonable offers

 

Looks and sounds like a clean car but the price is most likely scaring buyers. Glws

 

Yes ... about 2K over KBB.

 

ok. $11,000

 

Still too high. You price it at $9500 and I bet someone will bite.
Another issue I see is location. Unless the buyer is from Pittsburgh or Columbus, they will have to travel a long way. You don't see too many MINIs in Wheeling.

Post some pics of the other wheels too. That will help.
Need to see pictures of the engine as well.

Are those cracks in the drivers seat?

 

I posted it for $12,500 expecting to get beat down to $11,000-11,500.

I dropped it down to $11,000 expecting to get beat down to $10k

I'll keep it or crash it before I sell it for less than $10k.

I figured on this community a picture of S-Lites wouldn't be necessary, but I'll post a picture of them after I strip & polish them this weekend. Also no, there are no cracks in the seat(s). The interior is 9.5/10 condition.

 

I was not trying to be mean or anything. $9500 for a private sale price is a fair price and pictures sell the car. The more the better. But if it were me, I would try my best to find a way to keep that car. The 2005 and 2006 S were the best years and you'll be sorry when it's gone. I sure miss mine since it was totaled. That car was like part of the family and there never will be another like it. Best of luck with your sale.

 

I also think $9500 is a realistic price, the checkered panel will narrow the market as well.

 

For what it's worth, I've been where you are now. We ordered a brand new Pepper white JCW in 05. In 08 we had a little boy. A 2 door hatchback, acar seat, and mounting bills forced the sale of the car. A subaru wagon is NO substitute. We also had a Disco II. The Disco parts were uber expensive. Fast forward a couple years, and I got extremely lucky - our JCW was for sale on ebay, not too far from us. We were able to buy it back. We are now the original and third owners of the same car. As you know the JCW cars are scarce. Keep it if you can, cause you may not find it again. Just my .02.

 

I absolutely love Checkmates. My first MINI was an '06 R50 Checkmate. They're pretty rare as it turns out. For me, the two issues are the missing "Flame Spoke" (horseshoe) wheels and the fact that it's not Space Blue with a silver roof.

 

wheeling....im from around there (sistersville...on the other side of moundsville and then new martinsville haha. I have a friend looking for a mini but we are currently in maryland (ARMY) are you still interested in selling by any chance. P.S west Virginia is only the greatest state ever and go mountaineers!!!
