    If you can afford to buy the Mini with a manual trans before you sale yours then you could swap the parts.

    As for how much look it up in NADA and compare you local listings on autotrader.
    But since an R50 with an auto isn't going to get an enthusiast buyer I would save the Konis for the next car. Selling the car with less expensive stock type struts and selling the Konis would get you more money, assuming you can swap them yourself.

    Don't speed in reverse and get a second opinion.

    KBB probably says it's only worth alittle over $3000. Why the sudden urge to get a manual after just spending money on this car? ( Konis install, tire etc. ) No biggie to me but something I'd ask if looking...

    Good move. Go to eBay's commpleted items to see what cars like yours have sold (or not sold) for. Then check KBB.com and edmunds.com.

    well the transmission has started to seem like it's slipping and when the mechanic who did my work test drove it he said it seems to slip in reverse.
