After owning an first gen yellow MINI from 2002 thru 2012 ....we missed having a MINI in the stable.... so we just picked up the nicest color ever this month (3/14)......the NOLA ROLLA

Does anyone know how many Laguna Green MINIs were made/imported to the US?

I will get more pictures...but here is a shot of my new addition prior to me picking it up. I had the "8" graphic removed from the door and now I am starting to regret it. What do you guys think...should I add a number back on?

Value of my Laguna Green Mini
 

Hi all!

I have a 2012 Laguna Green Mini Cooper S with 40k miles on it. It's a manual. Any idea what I could get for this car should I sell it? I'm considering selling it and getting an SUV since we are sailors and really need the truck space.

Thanks!

Price
 

I am not sure what a fair value would be, but I paid around 21,000 last year for this beauty with 12,000 miles in mint condition. Because of the unique color I would try selling it on the private market to maximize the price. A car dealer is going to have a harder time moving the Laguna Green car.

I really love the car actually, and hate letting go of it. It's becoming a cargo car for sailing though, and that's just a little weird for a Mini.

Thanks for the response. I was thinking somewhere in the $17-18k range too because of the miles.

Hard to find color but some pop up every once in a while, check out here:

One was posted a couple months ago:

Appreciate the help! Actually messaged the guy in that post a few days ago and no response yet :(. Would love to buy that car if it was available still! I'll keep an eye out thanks.

Yep,

cars.com and car guru are good places also. The MINIs in the market place are usually better-taken care of and sometimes have a lot of upgrades vs those other car sites.

Thanks for the tip! Lol hopefully I get lucky!

Yep.

For Sale in Panama City, FL is a 2012 Mini Cooper S in the very rare color of Laguna Green. Currently has just over 43,000 miles.

Car is Automatic and Fully Loaded. New Summer Tires, Tinted Windows, Panoramic Sunroof / Moonroof, Navigation System, Satellite Radio, Heated Black Leatherette Seats.

Car is in excellent used condition.

Asking $12,000, but willing to hear offers. Please just DM me with any interest. Will be adding more pics soon.

Has anyone else heard or seen a source for this or similar info?

Also, has anyone seen a Laguna Green Clubman? I can't even find a picture of one.

Just trying to get all the info in the same place. Copying this data over from a different thread:

If this info is true (and it seems reasonable given how short of a run Laguna Green had, plus the $1000 upcharge), there are very, very few of each model and color combination.

Still no luck finding pics of a Laguna Green Clubman online, at all. Just a couple references to them being at dealers in the R55 forum.

Lets see some more Laguna Green MINIs if anyone around here still has them!

Well, they do exist. Crazy coincidence, considering I just asked this question a few days ago, but I just spotted one in a TV show. They're walking toward the camera, one says "Cute car!" and then cut to this!

Crazy since I literally have still never been able to find a picture of one anywhere else!

Laguna Convertible

Does any one else have a convertible Laguna MINI with a brown top? Would love to know how many Laguna convertibles made it to the US.

I like the Laguna with the brown seats! However, the tan side trims and red dash accents look like too much.... I think it would look better with black sides and dash.

Interior.
 

I guess that is what makes this car so special. 10 years ago someone special ordered her to be perfect for them. 4 months ago I bought her because she is perfect for me..one of a kind. Which means frankly I don't care what you think.
