What is a fair price for a low miles R52?

Potentially becoming a new mini person and am looking at a very clean 08 MCSc 6-speed Sideways with JCW and only 10,000 miles. Also has sport package, so hid headlights, auto climate, heated seats, anti skid etc. Wondering what would be the fair price range for a mini like this.

Sounds like a good deal if in great condition and really a JCW. Navigation was a 1,700 options.

Well, they didn't make a "real" jcw convertible. But it's got the $6000 factory option. Engine/brakes/exhaust. No jcw suspension as the vert has a taut susp already.

10000 miles, it looks new. I haven't seen it in person, it's 2000 miles away.

I flew 550 miles last month to get mine then drove it home. Had a one way ticket and only saw pictures of it before I went.

Oh. You got a similar car. Fotos on here someplace? Is your jcw the factory option? Congrats on it. Yeah, just got the shipping quote. $1200. If I get the car, I'll drive it home. : - )

Go to the last page on on the "Show us your rag top" in the R52's thread and you can click on the thumb nails. Yes I have the factory installed JCW kit. Every option you can imagine to go with it too.

You looking at the one in Chicago?

If it's a Sidewalk 2008 JCW, then it's a 1/100 limited edition like mine. Much like a previous poster, I flew 600 miles away with a one-way ticket sight-unseen to grab mine. It had 30,000 miles, as well.... the one in Chicago is a steal with 10,000 miles.

Makes me want to grab that one and sell mine.

Yep! That's #86/100. They're just beautiful cars. The rarity factor is kinda neat, as well.

I didn't like that they were only in black at first, but they're great-looking in person. I get a ton of compliments. still wish it was in red.......

Congrats, they are my favorite Mini verts.
Too bad none were available when I was looking.

Welcome to the club, my friend!!

I'm so envious that you have the badge. Mine was stolen before I bought the car.

Ooh, you did buy the Fields Mini one! Congrats -- that was a great deal and a super-clean car, and I'm sure you were able to get an even better price than that.
