Please help me decide if this is a decent deal...

I came across this JCW today and spoke with the sales guy; It looks like I can get it for 29K. Seems to be in nice shape and fully loaded.

Please let me know what you guys think. I may try to pick it up tomorrow. Thanks in advance!

Update... I just got off the phone with them and it does NOT have the full JCW kit... apparently it has the JCW cold air intake and ecu. Obviously this changes things... what do all think - Is it still worth it?

I would say no, but that's me. Seems a bit high, by like 10-15%.

Wow, the resale value on these 3-year old cars is amazing.

I really like that color... looks great (but I'm clueless on pricing! )

Me too but needed a car ASAP. Hopefully its at least a fair price. I did some searching around and this seemed to be the best fit for me given location and my immediate need.

I would say the car is overpriced by at least $3,000.00 if not more.

I just purchased a full factory 2006 JCW Cooper S Convertible in LA for less than the one on your link. My car is a one owner, 2300 original miles, no accidents, no paintwork, door dings or chips, Premium Package, Sport package, Convenience package, Harmon Cardon radio upgrade, full leather interior, full carbon fiber package on the exterior, 18 inch wheels, and a full JCW package with a signed and numbered letter of authenticity from the factory. It comes with all the original paperwork, manuals and balance of the factory warranty.

Hope this helps.
