What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the MINI Cooper
| Price of the MINI Cooper: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2007 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 172hp 1.6L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Seems reasonably priced for a very sporty car |
| Price of the MINI Cooper: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 208hp 1.6L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
It is expensive compared to similar vehicles. The build quality is better so I guess that is what you are paying for. |
| 2008 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 172hp 1.6L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
No bargaining. Pricey with options |
| 2006 | 2dr Hatch supercharged 168hp 1.6L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
Looking at the current cost of an S, it is far less of a value then when I bought mine. A comparable car to mine has risen in cost by roughly $3K+. Today at 28k with options lsd, xenons, leather and a few babbles it simply is too dear. |
| 2006 | 2dr Hatch supercharged 168hp 1.6L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
Slightly overpriced compared to Civic, VW GTI, etc. |
| 2005 | 2dr Hatch supercharged 168hp 1.6L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
The MINI is considered a "premium" car and the pricing reflects that. |
What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Volvo C30
| Price of the Volvo C30: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 227hp 2.5L I5 6-speed manual FWD |
Watch out for the options, but if you just want a fun and unique car to drive, a base model will cost you a little over 20K. |
| Price of the Volvo C30: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 227hp 2.5L I5 6-speed manual FWD |
It is expensive compared to similar vehicles. |
| 2008 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 227hp 2.5L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
The price is a little on the high side for a car of this caliber. |
