MINI Cooper shown here with optional Manual Transmission
MINIs have long been sporty, quick, and fun to drive. Driving them has always brought a smile to owners’ faces, and they have always been tougher than they look. Manual transmission or automatic, MINIs are some of the most fuel-efficient cars on the road. But while MINI produces and sells a lot of automatic transmissions, Chicago MINI dealerships know that pique fuel economy comes in the way of a stick.
The MINI Cooper owns the title for best resale value among compact cars, and there are plenty of reasons why.
First and foremost, the MINI’s unique style and driving mirth make it such a desirable car.
Resale values for 2009 MINI Coopers are expected to be more than 80 percent of the MSRP as a two-year-old vehicle. As a three-year-old car it is anticipated to come in more than 70 percent of the MSRP and as a five-year-old auto just less than 60 percent of the MSRP.
A huge reason for excellent resale value, especially in the recent energy climate, is the incredible fuel economy the range of MINI vehicles achieve. The current MINI Cooper manages 37 mpg on the highway.
At Patrick MINI, a used MINI Cooper dealer in Chicago, they know the story. Sales managers there recall that when they began selling MINIs several years ago, they could not keep one on the lot for a full day because Chicago used MINI Coopers were in such high demand.
As one of a few used MINI Cooper Chicago dealers, Patrick MINI still sees incredible demand for these endlessly fun autos. I can’t argue with buyers looking at a used MINI Cooper dealer in Chicago for their next vehicle. A MINI is a great thing to own. MINI offers wonderful service, and getting remarkable fuel economy in a car that fun to drive is a great combo. I would rate the MINI Cooper in the top five most fun cars I’ve ever driven, and trust me when I say the other four were nowhere near as fuel-efficient or practical.
It’s something to be proud of for any used MINI Cooper dealer in Chicago, selling cars that have such staying power and are so desired by car buyers. I would say that used MINI Cooper Chicago dealers are the ones that have it made, but I know the real winners are the MINI Cooper owners.
