Too many cars already and I bid on the Audi TT insurance auction and won it. I drive the MINI the least right now and should really downsize.

2012 Cooper S - N18B engine, 6 speed manual. 73,xxx miles. 16" wheels on it now with some well aged tires (tread ok, but some dry cracks) no tpms, stock 17"s need tires. Due for brakes soon (sensors through but there is pad material left) M7 Speed oil catch can, M7 Turbo heat shield. 

I bought it from CarMax back in July 2016 and at the time paid $15k. With the market the way it is now I look on Carvana and see a similar one with 83k miles for $15.9k and figured it might be a good time to sell. Carvana trade in estimate is $6928, CarMax $7300, Algonation (never heard of them before) $8800. Granted all those could be a little less after inspection but still better its value was a year or so ago. Plan was to remove the M7 parts, get sensors in the 16s, and rig the brake wires for trade in, then sell the parts and 17s separately. I also have NIB a set of H&R springs (should lower about 1.4") and 16" TR Motorsport wheels that I never mounted tires to. For a private sale figured parts and fixes could be negotiated. 

Figured I'd give a shot here if anyone may be interested.

Brake sensor is like $6 and they have pads under $20 on Rockauto. Don't do that.
