Sadly I learned tonight that I may have to sell my 07 Cooper S in December. I was just fascinated at the concept of losing only a few k. Right now my car seems to be down about 13% from my purchase price but it's only 15 months old.

Cooper's got the ability to fit even the large seat but see 1 4. Must drive the kid - to be born in late November - daily to grandmas starting in January. Loaded with about 15 lbs the car seat I can use (the buttons on most carseats were designed by odd folks - why would you push a button down into your child?), simply is too unwieldy to comfortably lock in and remove from the back of the Mini. Fitting in the back is not the problem. My physical ability to pull the carseat out and put it into the back of the Cooper without causing the kid major trauma..that's the problem. I don't want my poor kid to feel like every trip is a cause for much cursing and jostling. I knew going into the Mini I only had a two year window. The baby production was a bit easier than anticipated (we read most couples "try for 6-12 months" but we tried for one weekend!). So it seems the Cooper's realistic shelf-life for me will be about 20-21 months. Shrug. But that means 3-4 years later, I'm in a 1 series (unless something more entertaining arrives).  Now do you see why I'm interested in real-world resale? The gas crunch is probably helping resale on Coopers.

I noticed at the mini dealer that their lot was almost empty. A salesguy told me that they had sold 9 cars between Thursday night and Saturday afternoon at 1 pm. He said they can't currently keep the Cooper in stock. I know the dealership, as I bought from them and visited on many occasions over two years. I've never seen their lot so empty. It was almost creepy. They had a total of 2 convertibles, 2 demo clubmans (2 were sold and waiting to be picked up), a handful of Coopers and S models. Wow.
