Mini Cooper used review | 2002-2014 - Cars Guide
Launched to an amazed world in 1959 the Mini became a huge success worldwide as well as in Australia, with it being built in Sydney for years. It faded from the 1980s onwards though some variants were still being made overseas till the year 2000. The British motor industry was in serious trouble for many years and eventually BMW bought out major sections of the failing business - and... Some of the prices paid are staggering, with the most expensive Minis in Australia having price tags in excess of $100,000. Driving enjoyment is an important factor in Mini's success. The all-new Mini arrived downunder in 2014 and quite a few older Minis have appeared on the used-car market as fashion conscious owners have traded up to the latest and greatest. This has resulted in many used Minis being rushed onto the on the market, some at lower prices than you would expect as dealers are being forced to clear them from the yards to make way for the influx. In this feature we won't look at the gen-three Minis, but will caution that they are sold for lower prices than the gen-two, that and the fact that basic models are coming here for the first time, may affect resale values of the older.
