So what do you all think about our coupe getting the axe soon? I personally love my car and I think I will have the highest mileage coupe in a few years. I'm at 25000 after one trouble free year!

From all the posted articles, I would say it will die soon.

 

Gotcha beat at 34k lol.
Got mine in April 2012.


Really? What will be replacing it?

 

I haven't seen any articles. Links?

make them even more rare less than 6,000 in the usa? bring it on resale.

 

yup I read several articles here in europe that state there are very strong rumours it will be discontinued. Same rumours state it will be replaced with a new sporty car from MINI in 2015/16 .....but hee they are still only rumours :-)
Seems I ordered mine just in time :-)

 

I'm at36,789 and mine just hit 1 year in June ill give you a run to 100k lol

Thanks, Braminator. I guess I should keep an eye on the General MINI Talk section of the forum!

None of this surprises me. The year-to-year sales figures of the Coupe have been pretty dismal. That said, I'm glad I decided to buy mine.

As for speculation about value of our Coupes...I view mine as a purchase, not an investment. I'll drive it for a number of years and then sell it for its residual value. I never expect much...

 

Most americans are so big and fat they cant stand it. Suits me though

 

Race to 100k.......longest race EVER! lol

I would take that challenge, but you'll beat me to the punch. Moving in the next two weeks, commute to work will go from 100 miles round trip to about 18 miles lol.

I'll miss driving the car that distance =[.

 

Yea my drive right now is 67.8 miles one way so I rack them up quickly! I enjoy it though!!

I love mine whether they keep making them or not.

 

I like the proposed replacement -- the MINI does Miata -- But, sad, too. I have to admit, I miss my converts (1991, 1990, 1999 (white), 1999 10AE x 2, 2005 Mazdaspeed miatas, and a 2008 MINI Cabrio....

 

That's a surprisingly short lifespan for that model!

 

same here.. i love my baby and doubt i'll sell her unless she becomes worth crazy money.. even then i'd still keep her and drive her

 

I just miss the toplessness, so I thought that this model may be my *next* car, by the time they get it out and give it a year to find any problems, I might be ready for something new. Don't know yet!
