Yes, it will involve you likely having to finance that $14k for a week or two, but I'd say that $5-6k is well worth it, wouldn't you? As well, another option is to negotiate the price of your new car without mention of a trade-in.... then, just before you sign the paperwork, you spring the trade-in on them. They don't appreciate it usually, and will most certainly give you less than what the Mini is worth, so I don't suggest it. However, you can usually get a far better deal on the new car as opposed to if you had gone in and said, "I want that new car and I'm going to trade my '04 Mini Cooper in on it!". Just a thought to ponder as well. =) Cold Fire = Cold Flame; but nonetheless, glad to have helped you =)
