Hi,

I have the opportunity to buy a MC 2002 "Launching Edition". I'd like to know if it's worth it ?

I'm a little bit affraid of buying a '02 because I know they had some problems. Should I buy a '03 ?

MC don't lose so much value here in Quebec, Canada. For a MC '02, the average price I've seen is about 22 000$ CA (about 18 000$ US I think). Knowing that, should I buy a brand new MC (25 800$ CA) ?

thanks

 

What's the mileage on the car? How's it equiped?

Never heard of a "launching edition" granted you're in Canada and they do different marketing things, but honestly it shouldn't have much effect on the actual value of the car.

What's in the car and the mileage on the other hand do matter...

 

The Launch Edition MINIs were the very first MINIs sold by MINI Canada. They are identifiable by having a mapleleaf emblem on the tachometer. The are also numbered (22/500 for instance. 500 were produced).

 

none of the launch edition cars came with xenons (standard equipment in canada till the cooper classic came out). Only came in Chilli Red and Indi Blue I think too. If it were me, I'd pay the extra $3800 for new one.
