Mini resurrected the Clubman name for its wagonoid long hatch that arrived in 2007, however Clubman was used for the facelifted original Mini three-door hatch.
With its rear barn doors and spacious cargo area, the Clubman was loved by enthusiasts and was even offered in sporty JCW guise, but it only lasted two generations before being dropped by Mini.
The line-up currently starts at $44,880 for the Clubman Cooper S Classic and ranges through to $75,020 for the range-topping Clubman JCW ALL 4 Mini Yours.
It’s not like the old days when Mini Coopers did appeal the purists and a manual was the only thing to have, today’s Mini buyers a less purists than fashion followers. Although I would prefer a manual for the fun of driving it, most buyers would prefer an auto and that would affect the resale of your car should you choose a manual. I do agree with you that it’s a good idea for your son to learn to drive a manual.

You've always got the right to argue your case and try to negotiate a satisfactory outcome, but I doubt you would be successful with a car as old as yours. Unless you're prepared to invest a lot of time in the negotiations I would suggest you just cop it and get on with life.
