How much is a 2012 MINI Cooper Countryman worth?
A 2012 MINI Cooper Countryman has a median retail value of $5,768, with most appraised between $5,502 and $5,982. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $950 across 6 recent sales — the middle 50% between $450 and $950.
Why is the 2012 MINI Cooper Countryman so cheap at auction?
