What would you sell your beloved Mini for??

After completing some modifications on my Mini, I started to wonder how much I would charge someone to buy my MCS off of me.

I originally paid 30k out the door and it would probably take 40k to steal it away from me!

Anyone else??

However much it would take to buy a 2007 BMW M5 touring with a manual transmission - In Lemans Blue with the Alcantra leather. I guess that would be around $90k.

Well in fact I am letting it go...for a mere 18K, paying off my current credit union loan...and buying a mildly-spec'd MCS for approx $25K...so three cheers for more car payments!

Mine sold for $22,500.00, did an in&out at the dealership, got a tax brake for $1,406.00 so simple math got $23,906.00 out of it, after 14 months only $1,600.00 loss. But there is a lot of funny posts out there, far away from reality

I intend to keep it for 30 years and auction it off at Barret-Jackson.

You can buy it then.

No wait ... make that 20 years ... Have to strip off all the aftermarket "crap" (NOT CRAP) because they want only real OEM parts.

I'm actually think of selling 3 of my cars including the MINI to buy the M6, I always wanted that M5 engine but couldn't see myself with a 4 door Sedan unless it's an SUV but not a car, now they finally put that engine in a 2 door coupe and what a beauty that thing is.
2005 Mini Cooper S Convertible triple black, PSS9, F1 GS-D3 on chrome 5 spokes, New MSRP $46,000 in Canada, 1,650 miles, I would sell for $40k Can.
You would save $14k Can. compare to a new one if you consider tax and upgrades.

Same problem here. I pay a fortune for my baby each month in car payments and insurance. Even with every discount available for my insurance its still high. Then there is the price of gas which keeps increasing. To fill my MINI with 93 octane its the same price as to fill my Mom's SUV with 87. Even though I get better mpg.

I have looked at buying a Toyota Corolla and paying $100/month and putting in 87 octane fuel to save money. I think this will come true if I decide it will be the only way I can move out and be on my own
