May have to sell Fizzgig

Hi everyone,
Looks like I may have to sell Fizzgig. As my health has continued to deteriorate and money has dried up, Fizzgig will have to go. I have no idea what to ask price wise. Owned since new, has only 13,300 miles, many mods plus parts not yet installed, 3 sets of wheels and tires..........

Anyone have a guess as to what to ask?

Kevin

I'm sorry to hear it. Take care of yourself. You may get more money for the parts selling them separately.

I agree. Selling with the MINI will not increase its value.

Sorry to hear the news.

If you have a carmax nearby go get a free quote from them. It will be a wholesale price, but it is something to start from.

I think that for the most part the aftermarket parts don't add any value above book when selling so you may indeed do better to sell them apart from the car.

Carmax's deals are usually pretty fair, and they do all the legwork. Then sell your extra parts here for a tidy sum of extra cash.

Sorry to hear the news, buddy.

Removing parts is a problem - my health prevents working on the car. Maybe I can convince myself I would lose too much money selling Fizzgig fully decked out. Could always sell my Jeep.............
I really don't want to sell my MINI.
