I'm surprised the Mini Cooper's resale value is so close to the C's. I thought the Min's were hot in terms of resale value.

C class can mean a wide range of cars. Some of the C's will bring down that average, while some others will help bring it up.

This is for five year old cars and our C's are not included. This should be the W202's.

There are no five year old Minis, Acura TL's, SC430's, or S2000's. I don't think there are five year old Boxters or Z8's either.

All that link gives me is a screen for financing rates.
Wonder what years they were talking about?
But then again Edmunds has been known to overvalue car prices with their TMV, etc.

Since the initial hype, I think theyve come down to earth like everyone else. At the local dealer which was quoting 3 year waiting lists when I bought my coupe, you can walk in, and get a Cooper S for under sticker. Cheap leases too. Regular Minis are just like any other car now...how low do you want to go?
