Thinking of selling Mini S 2008
 
I have 2008 Mini S PW/PW color with Redwood interior with
just about every option with less than 10K.

Any body have any idea what I could ask for this Mini..

Wife and I are thinking of getting her a Can Am Spider to ride
and we can not afford to keep all the toys..

Thank You Joe in NJ

I just recently bought a 08 PW/Redwood S with almost every option except Nav. and 6000 miles. I paid less than $23,000.

Why? Have you ridden one?
The guys at CU really disliked riding it.

Depends. What was the msrp? Any dealer add-ons?

Start around $26K, settle for $24K. The remaining factory warranty will help yr case. good luck

Can Am Spider over Mini? :confused:

bmwrider1015 11-14-2009 01:58 PM

Yes somewhat
 
I like the Mini S but I am anal about parking and leaving it anywhere.
If I was to get a ding in it I would go ballastic..
Just worrying about it and paying 32K for it I am just tired of how I am.
So decided to buy wife the Can Am Rt and I will buy a older car
I don't have to worry about..

I have 2 bikes and T Bird I am the same way about..

Thanks for your thoughts..Joe

Can Am's aren't nearly as fun as MINIs!

Get a Campagna T-Rex if you're going that route :thumbsup::thumbsup: Although they are way more expensive.

I understand the fear of leaving the car alone outside and possibly get dinged. Of course, after having the car three weeks a windy day threw a Sam's Club cart into the tailgate putting a huge dent in the gate, a bunch of dents in the bumper skin, and a dent in the little tip of metal underneath the tail light. $1400 was the quote to repair it all. I fixed just the tailgate with paint-less dent repair (as nothing was scratched amazingly enough) for $300.

can-ams are for yuppies.
it's for those who are too scared to ride a real bike and/or those who cannot a real car.
do society a favor, keep the car.

And someone else will say on another forum that Minis are not for real men or whatever. Lots of choices for fun toys. Just lighten up and have fun with whatever you drive or ride! :)

There isn't one part on my car that can't be replaced. I'm also lucky to understand it doesn't matter what other people think. If you like your ride as much as I like mine, whatever it is, congrats.

It's about fun
