Point missed on your situation with the Mini OP. Obviously the best solution to to try and grab the extra $3k selling private party, we don't understand your resources so we can't judge how difficult your life will be over the next month if you manage to get a buyer this weekend. I also hope that your $8k estimate factors in the work that needs be done (i.e. after work done you could get $12k) otherwise your situation may be worse off than you think.
That's the simple part, you obviously have your heart set on another Toyobaru and you're slyly asking if there's a way to finangle getting yourself into one without taking too much of a hit on trading in the Mini. This stuff ain't rocket science, leverage the trade, hmm and haw over the car and talk about how your compromising and you might scrimp back an extra couple thousand.
I've heard carmax is a decent option.
The more interesting question is why bother going back to a Toyobaru when you have the opportunity to explore a cache of available cars many of us here are jealous of? There will still be plenty of Toyobaru's rolling around when you return.

I hope you mean like a <2010 (not the one on Top Gear a season or three ago) considering a brand new one after all the licensing fees and taxes will be up around $40k in the Netherlands...
25k Euro + 21% VAT in Netherlands = 30,250 Euro = $38,251 USD plus registration, fees, add-ons etc. A bit out of OP's budget based on his yearly take home... Please correct me if I'm mistaken.
