-If buying used, look for an enthusiast car
-Gabe was going to freestyle the news, which would have been rad

Love your ‘casts !
Used MINI’s around here are going for MORE than new ones. I think this is because the nearest dealer is over 200 miles away and folks don’t want to wait. A twin MINI to mine sold for more than $2000 over the cost of mine new at dealer.
Sad, but I think people are buying the used MINI’s cause they can get one right now.
I just checked the KBB on a similarly equipped 2K3 Chevy Cavalier – $8,500. The same Cavalier sells new for just over $18K so that’s nearly a $10,000 drop in two and a half years as opposed to the MINI’s $1,600 drop in the same time.
You’d have to give some serious incentives to off-set a hit like that.
Oh, you teases! The mention of decals send me running to WRR.com and they’re not available yet! “A couple of weeks”?! Auugghh!!! 🙂
I hope to have the link to purchase decals up in the next couple of days (not weeks). They will be $3 each or two for $5.
I’ve been so busy completing graphics on 10 different MINIs in the last week that I haven’t had time to get the WRR decal stuff posted but it’s coming soon and they are very cool!
