An eye toward resale

765 Views 2 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  MINIjewel
I went to the dealer in Sterling VA and they told me the wait time for a build date on an S is 12-14 months and only 4 months for delivery of a Cooper. Is anyone else seeing this? I ended up putting down a deposit for one of each figuring I would sell the Cooper when the S came in(unless my wife decides to keep it).

With resale in mind what kind of options would anyone suggest for the Cooper and what color? What would I be wasting money on and what would command a higher resale value. I'm thinking of the Indi Blue with both Sport and Premium packages.

That's a good spec, the MINI you want in a popular color, and the best value for the most options. It will be a "high end" Cooper at resale time, but should sell easily at a good price. You might want to consider xenon headlights when they become available again, but only if they're important to you while you own the MINI. This is my first experience with them and I'm very impressed, but I can't say if the $500 they cost would be recovered at resale. The wait times that your dealer told you sound right. I thought a Cooper might be delivered a little sooner, but for someone just now depositing on an S, the lists are verrrrry long indeed.

That is exactly the same wait we have here in Milwaukee.
