The middle asking price for a used one is $100.10, across 1 live eBay listing for the 2016–2021 generation. That’s what sellers are asking, not what buyers paid. Sold prices aren’t published anywhere you can count on, and asking prices usually run about a quarter higher than what things sell for — so we say which one this is.

How it comes off

  1. Disconnect the battery, if there is one.
  2. Turn the belt tensioner to slacken the belt and slip it off.
  3. Unplug it and remove the nut on the main cable.
  4. Remove the mounting bolts and lift it out.

The usual order on most cars. A 2018 Mini Cooper Convertible may hide a screw or a clip somewhere else: if a piece will not move, look for what is still holding it before you pry harder.
