This weekend I'm making another attempt to get to the Mini Cooper dealer in Orlando. In the meantime, I'm going to be debating whether to trade in the S or not. I had made up my mind to keep it, but I really have no room for it and it would get used very little. Plus, the ~$9500 trade-in would take a nice chunk out of the price of the MCS.
Decisions, decisions.
Only $9500.00 on trade in? Can you do better selling outright??
Yes, by about a thousand dollars, according to Kelly Bluebook. It really isn't worth the aggravation for me. The convenience of not having to deal with tire-kickers, kids, and idiots who have no intention of buying anything is worth that much to me.

I hear ya. For the heck of it, I looked up the value on ours. About a 2K difference between sale and trade, but of course, one can haggle a bit to narrow that gap. You and Deb are right, it is aggravating to have to deal with a sale of a car, but sometimes 1K or more in my pocket vs someone else's...... We've done it both ways with our past vehicles. One went really quick, the other hung around a bit, on some of the others, we had buyers before the new vehicle came in. We take good care of our vehicles and generally have low mileage. A desirable used car.

Us or Dean? We have almost 70K. Averaging about 6K/year now. I'm sure we've got you beat!

The S2000 gang from Ohio and Kentucky are going on our yearly Derby Drive in Southern Indiana. We drive some twisty roads and have lunch at a restaurant that overlooks the Ohio river.

Just picked up the car from the Honda store with all fluids changed and wheels balanced as well as getting the rear bumper refinished. Time to program the GPS for the summer adventures Spring fling and Atlanta for S2KCA days

Wow I had no clue that site was still in existence. I clicked an old link to the SE forum and the last post was 2011. How many members do they have now?

I ran across some old S2kca stuff the other day in my S2000 stuff.

Lainey, I knew you had over 50k, didn't know about Dean. (I'm at 32.5k)
