Notable difference then? Ive found a Mini One but there are drawbacks :(

I will post some pics later... it has color coded aerokit but the back bumper is damaged and would ideally need replaced!

Half leather and aircon etc he wants £8500 for it (52 Plate)

I have knocked him down to £8000 but the damage is putting me off a bit :dead:

Any advice ?

A bumper is a bumper, if you can get a cheap replacement then you shouldn't have any problems.
It really depends on what the damage is and what further damage may be hidden by the bumper.
You could always get the bumper fixed ;)

Not sure what prices are for a 52 plate, i'm sure you could get a cheaper one though it might not have the spec you want

looks good although its a bit daft having a nice aero kit but with silly wee 15 inch wheels. Get a nice set of 17's on it and it would look the business.

That will be an expensive repair as the rear quarter will need repairing. when the rear quarter is painted they will also need to paint the door and mabe A panel in order to blend it in. Also car isnt very clean and doesnt look the best condition. Personally I would hold of for a better car as its a bit expensive considering the work needing done.

In fact the more I look at it the more I think stay away. the boy is a dreamer wanting £8000 for that. It will need a rear bumper, wheel arch inner plastic, Wheel arch trim (inc getting it colour coded), rear light and either a new rear quarter or alot of filler applied to it and then the O/S of the car painted.

Whaohhh looking at those pics I dont think you should touch that motor until you get someone to have a look under the rear of the car coz that looks like its had a pretty big hit on the right rear. :eek:

Sorry to have to say that Baz. But you prob better off searching for a better car...

I have walked away from the deal, it did pass its MOT today and he sent pics of it leaving the MOT station with gaffa tape all over the rear apron :disapprove:

Really liked the car but not to be :dead:

Thanks for the advice guys and keep your eyes peeled 8)

Mini Cherished as gave me a couple of options there is a Mini One coming through the dealers in Aberdeen at the moment but obviously cant make a move until the Corsa has gone! :)
