Common questions
How much does a MINI Cooper Convertible cost?
A 2004 MINI Cooper Convertible cost $24,950 new. Over the past 12 months, 6 have sold publicly at a median of $10,925. The Shifty Estimate for a well-kept example is $7,700. Cars have changed hands anywhere from $4,400 to $16,225, depending on mileage, color, and history.
What is a 2004 MINI Cooper Convertible worth today?
The Shifty Estimate is $7,700. That sits below the $10,925 median of actual sales because the estimate weights the most recent results most heavily, and recent sales have come in under the longer-run median. We rate confidence medium: 6 public sales in a year is a thin market, and the spread between them is wide.

The R52 MINI Cooper Convertible marked BMW's bold entry into the drop-top small car segment, building on the phenomenal success of the reborn hardtop. Launched in 2004, this wasn't just a chopped Cooper—it featured a fully engineered soft-top mechanism that maintained the car's structural integrity and go-kart handling characteristics. The 115-hp 1.6-liter four-cylinder delivered spirited performance, while the Cooper S variant bumped power to 168 hp with its supercharged engine. What makes these collectible today is their role as the last traditionally-sized MINIs before the brand's inevitable growth spurt. Clean examples, particularly Cooper S models with manual transmissions, are increasingly sought after by enthusiasts who appreciate the pure, undiluted MINI experience. The convertible's rarity compared to hardtops—especially in desirable colors like British Racing Green—adds to their appeal among collectors seeking authentic BMW-era MINI heritage.
