Hey guys I've been bouncing around the idea of moving up to a more recent year vehicle with lower miles as I commute 25k miles a year and I tend to replace my vehicle every couple of years. So like the title states I'm the 2nd owner of a 2011 6spd in BRG with several mods, you may have seen me around the forums before. This car has done 2 novice track days, not thrashed at all as I'm not a fan of the thought of leaving my daily's engine on the field and it handled them and the 2hr drive home with no problems. Has no leaks, oil changes every 5k miles and usually eats ~.5 quart between changes. I'll list the mods below, this is mainly to gauge whether anyone would be interested in the car with the mods equipped or if I'd be better off putting some of the stock stuff back on and selling it off separately.

129k Miles
Stage 2 Manic Tune run on map B full time, map A on the track
Ohlins R&T Coilovers
Vorshlag Camber Plates
NM Eng rear sway bar
NM Eng catback
NM Eng boost tube
H&R front sway bar
PowerFlex front control arm bushings
Wilwood 13" FSL Front BBK
Rays Volk TE37V Bronze with 215/45/17 tires with ~4/32 remaining
2011 6 Star Black wheels with practically brand new Michelin AS's
Aquamist HFS4 WM kit with 3gal tank mounted to rear seat delete
Wagner Tuning Intercooler
Titanium turbo heat shield
Schroth QuickFit Harness
Rear seat delete kit, carpeted (stock rear seats included)
Urethane lower engine mount
P3 Multi Purpose Gauge with track timer functions
OEM Bixenon retrofit
New FRM3 installed ~Aug of last year
Regular maintenance etc

I'm sure there's other things I'm missing but that's a pretty good list for now. Basically trying to see if anyone would be interested in this as a turnkey ready to go vehicle or if I should pull the following mods and sell them separately.

Ohlins, Vorshlags, Volks, Wilwood BBK, Schroth, Rear seat delete.

I'm seeing similar mileage stock examples going for ~$6-8k but not finding many BRG examples. So I figured I could probably ask for $15k with everything, or $9k without the above. I could be totally off here as well as I haven't spent a ton of time looking at what they tend to go for, literally looked them up this morning as I was typing this. So if anyone is interested, let me know or shoot me an offer or please, if I'm way under/over market value give me a heads up or get yourself a steal.

I just went through my photos real quick to grab some shots, I can go shoot some new ones if anyone wants particulars.

 

In my humble opinion, you would be able to unload it faster in near-stock configuration. To sell it as is, you'll need to find the right buyer, which could take quite some time. It all depends on how quickly you want to unload it, if at all. Also, I think a 9+ year old Mini with 130k miles at $15k is going to be a tough sell, regardless the configuration.

 

I completely agree with you, it's a purpose built car that an enthusiast could enjoy but that's definitely going to limit my market, especially considering the age and price. It would definitely sell much faster if I pulled the mods that are relatively easy to remove and sell them separately, but before I spent all the time to do that I figured I'd see if anyone here is in the market for one to save us both time.

I do appreciate the input though and thanks for checking out my post

 

I agree 100% with the other two comments. Selling a highly modified car will never get you the money you put into it. Outside of finding a very select buyer, the modifications can sometimes become a hindrance as stated above. I have sold many modified cars in the past, and I usually have to take it apart or sell the car as if none of the stuff was on it pricewise.
you built the car for your needs and wants. Not for a profitable sale. Wish the aftermarket world was different, but sadly it’s not.
A couple months back I bought a custom 1964 Lincoln convertible. The one that’s in my avatar. It was not cheap, and the modifications were done OK, but some of them were not done well. I have put another 20 grand into the car just fixing what someone else did. Kind of sucks.
