Have you tried getting a personalised price from www.glasse.co.uk (http://www.glasse.co.uk)?


It costs £3 but it is worth having so the dealers play fair with you ;)

Go to www.networkq.co.uk (http://www.networkq.co.uk) and then look under "buyers checklists" and then "value your car"... this will give you the glasses guide value for free.

Remember, this will be a price for a base car, not one with CHILLI etc.

and is probably what the dealers will try initially to offer you, obviously chilli etc will increase trade in price some what.

My S is worth.....its weight in Gold! Well to me it is......... Broom! Broom! (bang) Brrrrrrrrrrrrooooooooooooom! (pop) Brummm Brummm (gurgle)...

I'd rather sell a Kidney! Although a bloke was done for trying to do that on the internet recently, so I'll keep the MINI and the organs for now. James - was yours in 'Modern Mini' last issue? thought I recognised it - it's a minter! Hang onto it for another year - new ones only depreciate anyway.... plus you'll be sick when you see somebody else in your pride & joy - especially when they pass you in your D.............
