Hi all,

it looks good euan the price is quite high but its got all the big buck extras

[euan]

Yeah, I thought the price was high - they've already dropped the price once by 500 quid.

For me, I'd have wanted climate on it and not manual air con, for the sake of 200 quid on what was a well over 20K car when it was new with the other options.

[james f]

is that dealer or private sale ? as my mate sold a similar spec S a few months back (same age milage spec) for a little over 15k but he had few more options on his (digital power sound module and sat nav) so i would keep haggling

[euan]

It's a dealer. This car does have sat nav as well, and from looking about with cars of a similar spec it seems not bad.

[james f]

hmm if you got 500 off and its got sat nav then i would say thats a good deal you got there and go for it and enjoy :)

BTW, this is the car in question - seriously tempted and between this and a 120d.

Get the MINI, look fantastic.

1-series is mingin' :p

[The Dogfather]

120d is an old man's car, funny neither Crombers or Angus have one though.

They must be having a late life crisis :eek:

[The Dogfather]

BTW the mini is mint, it looks like a humbug :D

[euan]

Always fancied one in this colour with the bonnet stripes - just think it looks really different.

[james f]

MINI everytime anyone who choses a 1 seires over that is barking imo

[PACMAN]

Great Colour BTW :p;):D

I've stuck with stripes free look ;)

[Gorbash12346]

the mini over the 1 series anyday their seriously uncomfortable and reverse parking is a complete **** even for me (hours of practice everyday lol)

[weefossy]

That is one nice mini and worth the dosh. Go for it.

[euan]

Thanks folks - will let you know the outcome...

[euan]

OK, drove the car. On closer inspection the car had a new clutch at 11K, and most of the front suspension replaced at 16K, all under warrenty.

Should I worry?

As long as it is still under warranty now and drives alright, I don't see why you need to worry.

After all, most MINIs have had warranty work done :blackeye:

[illegalhunter]

Euan what happened the the flying scot mini? as for worry it wont need done again think positive

[euan]

Yeah, just worried me a wee bit that's all - big work when it's not done huge miles.

Will see if the figures work out tomorrow.
