$18K is a bit low looking at cars.com and autotrader. Plus if I sold the MINI I would want to sell (3) sets of wheels and Koni DAs with it.
Dan is selling his car.

Wilcox sold his very cheap. I think just under $20K.
VW Bug in running shoes
M Porcupine sedan
M Porcupine coupe
Crusty old e46 beater
Battery Powered appliance car
Good luck with that. I hate buying new cars. Too big of a hit. I tired to find a used Mini. Maybe the Unicorn will sell you his Mini for 18K.
But you are right and it is what I did. For 2K more get a new one.
