I have a dilemma here, so testing the waters for some feedback on whether to trade my car or sell it privately. 2004 Chilli Red/White MCS Excellent condition, only 54,000 miles, one owner from new! (Major mods only have about 25,000 miles on them) 15% Alta Pulley Alta/K&N CAI RMW BVH with Newman Cam Jan Brueggemann Dyno tune to 250 WHP 450cc injectors GP intercooler RMW Header with CAT Milltek Cat back exhaust RMW oil cooler RMW fluid damped crank pulley JCW Brake kit JCW suspension 22mm rear sway bar Voltage hood scoop Silver Kosei K1 TS wheels Craven Speed strut tower defenders I have been offered $10,000 trade in, which would also save me an additional $700 in tax. I just cannot make up my mind whether to trade it or sell it privately. :mad2: Advice?
I say squeeze the dealer a bit and try to get 12K, most folks will not buy mods and it takes a special person to appreciate a nicely built MINI. You might find the right buyer, but you will have to wait for him/her to make you the right offer. I suspect 12K even with the right buyer, you have all this in your M/A garage I hope. Don
This might be a nice option, if you have your old parts, swap back what you can & the dealer won't notice, trade it in, sell just your "goodies" outright. Good Luck
Sad, a 1K bump, try harder. You could part it out, but the RMW build would not be the same without the great additions. I say come as close as you can to the 12K, then let the dealer try to get 15K for it. Don
