After some input from the Mini owners/lovers on here please.

My fiancée is finally about ready to sell her much cherished R53 Cooper S that she has had from new. The issue seems to lie with where we should pitch it price wise. It was just over £20k new in March 2006 so it has a good spec.

Full main dealer history
recent power steering pump under goodwill
30,000 miles
red / Whit with Union decals and mirrors
White 17" wheels
4 recent tyres [2 were perished lol]
Recently detailed
No door dings
one tiny stone chip on bonnet [really tiny]
It really is lovely but it will be 8 in March

Paddle shift auto transmission
Heated screen and jets
Xenons
Half leather with anthracite headlining
Privacy glass
Chrome packs inside and out
Chilli
Harmon Kardon "Duff Man, Oh yeah" sound system
Climate etc etc etc


So then collective where should we pitch it for a sale that keeps all concerned happy. Prob sell in Feb after we get the private plate off it.

Look in the PH classifieds and Auto Trader to get an idea?

The auto gearbox will make it a no goer for a lot of buyers IMO.

Edit to add......
There's a handful of low mileage examples on AT, £5750 to £6k asking price.
