Cooper S Values
Discussion
I have a Cooper S to sell, I cannot justify the fuel it uses, and the insurance difference for my girlfriend, so i'm selling it. Basically i'm finding it hard to value it as people are listing their cars with less options for the same money I am, but are they selling?
Is £4995 too much for a car as such...
58k miles, full history and MOT's to back up
2002 on a 52 Plate
Metallic Grey
Black Roof
Black Mirror Caps
Panoramic Roof with blinds
Heated Electric Mirrors
Cooper S Wheels
Run Flat Tyres
Tyre Pressure Monotoring System
Full Europe Sat Nav
Car Computer
Full Black Leather Seats
Heated Seats
Cruise Control
Multi Function Steering Wheel
Xenon Lights with head light washers and Follow Me Home Function
Rear Parking Sensors
Glovebox
6 Disc CD Changer
The car has a few marks (nothing bad or what you wouldnt expect on a car of this age) is HPI clear and generally a great car.
Have I priced it too high or should I hold out?
Thanks

seems a keen price, but R56 MCS creeping into the £6ks
Just coming ino the market now looking or either an R56 Cooper S or a late JCW (previous model) which is likely to hold its value better and is there a big difference in how they drive (supercharged vs Turbo)? Fashion for newer models will mean the general public would value the R56 more highly.
It all depends who you sell the car, which you haven't yet bought, to.
You keep saying R56 market, but if you look around there literally a handful of intergallactic mileage, crappy spec'd cars out there, we've had one, so I know the R56 is a great car, but having had some very serious issues with an 08 spec R56 Cooper S (which only had 8k on the clock at the time...), i'm not sure i'd trust a 56/07 plate one myself...

I'm sorry but that is way too high for the age! We have spent ages trying to sell our car and if we cant get 6.5k for our MCS (which is newer and better spec) why would you pay that much for an older car?!
Whilst I really appreciate all feedback, positive and negative, I feel I have now had a good look round the cars for sale, and whilst I may be pricing it a touch rich, I feel the minimum it is worth is £4600, giving the buyer a bit of haggling room. I will update the thread on the sale price as a reference when sale is done.
