Im about to do it what do u think?

a 03 cooper s dark silver, black top/mirrors, 47k under warranty, sport, premium , cold weather , convinience. navigation, two- tone cloth, harmon kardon, new tires, clean carfax!! all for $17,995 deal or no deal?

 

Its a good deal KBB has it worth 23000

 

?!?!?!
$18,750 is the KBB price. And that is even a little high.

 

Using trade in value or what?

 

Trade in value would be even lower. I'm using the private party sale value. All info assumes that the car is in good condition.

 

no way is it alot! find one cheaper i bet u cant with all the goodies!!!!

 

I don't think that it's a bad price at all. I'd try to get another $650 off. And remember, the '03 usually starts showing it's tempermental character at around th 50k mark. Expect to be paying for some little things here and there.
Aside from that, it sounds like a great car. The nav system is something I've been wanting.

 

piff 2121, don't ask and then defend or rationalize! Ask with an open mind!

Seems worth it to me, but i'd have to see and drive it. Does it have that dirty car spooge near the hatch,hood gaskets and in hard-to-clean areas? Does it appear to have been well maintained? Maintenance history? Condition of wear items other than tires (brakes, belts, etc.)? Curb rash on wheels? Drive sraight and true?

That dark grey is a favorite color of mine, looks kind of sinister with the black roof.

Good luck whichever way you go, and your message is a dead giveaway which way you WANT to go...

 

yes its in great condition needs nothin as of now....what do you mean about black spooge?

and what do you mean about things going bad at around 50k?

 

From what I've seen here on NAM, the '03 is a little tempermental. Take a look around the Beneath the Bonnet section for '03 specific problems. Keep in mind that there are plenty of '03s on the road today that have never had any trouble.

 

Frankly I'd put that money down on an '05 or '06 at a MINI dealer. You know the record is good and it will only have been "abused" by you and no one else. My .02 dollars.

 

Mine has 60K and the only problem I had was the power window regulator in the passenger door which was replaced under warranty at about 34K miles. My Wanda isn't tempermental...she's fantastic!

Black spooge is a build-up of roadgrime in certain spots, denoting someone who's not been detailing their MINI too well.

 

i was thinking off putting the $ down on a 06 but i dont want any debt...

i respect your opinion though.


as for the black spooge it certainly doesnt have any. but thanks for letting me know

 

I'd do it, and talk the dealer into a decent warrenty because you are paying cash.....

 

An extended warranty could be very well worth the money

 

Very.

 

We love our 03... and he's got 60k+

Drive it! It doesnt hurt to test drive!
