I want to trade in my car for a MINI Cooper
Im hoping i can get enough back from this car ( really has some crappy resale).
The reasons why i want to get rid of it
1. The GAS
2. It dosent make me smile any more, i just dont care about it.
3. I was keyed dents ect
4. Need a new clutch
5. ac sucks
6. have had problems up the wazoo
I will miss it a liitle but i cant get stand evry penny i make goes into teh gas tank, ,i am spending like 80 a week on gas and i am only 20 and in school......
here is a pic of it but instead of black roof it will have a blue roof

The Mini isn't exactly a gas saving car. If you want a more fuel efficient car for a 20 year old and don't care about dings/dents later on... get a Scion.

ahh no........
"Road and Track lists the Mazda RX-8 as being capable of going through their slalom at 68.4mph. The Mini can do it in 69.5mph. To me the Mini feels very stable and is one of the best handling cars out there. In fact, look through Road and Track and see what other cars beat 69.5mph. Not many, and it wasn't that long ago, the Mini was the only car Road and Track tested that was capable of even hitting 69.5mph through the slalom" :D
and can u say MOD happy....
Also the mini gets 31 combined driving
The mini cooper S 2005 does the 1/4 in 14.8 i bit slower than the rx8 but i dont have to burn through a clutch to get there. :D

Be prepared to take a serious financial hit if you trade it in now. This is definitely a really bad time to do so, but if you are really that unhappy with car, then why not. Think it over though before going to a Mini, because it's likely that car will do same thing to you, and in a year you won't be smiling. Good luck in your decision.

Wait a second, are you paying for this car yourself elips0? If you are go for it... Otherwise if your parents are paying for it... go for it! Not like it matter if someone else is paying for it.
