View Full Version : Eastern Mini - Discount on used Cars

I'm looking at a £13,000 used Mini at Eastern Mini tomorrow. I'm planning on purchasing it through a PCP if I (read 'my wife') likes it as it will be her car.

Just wondering the best way to go to get the best deal if anyone has bought from them recently and whether they're more likely to discount the car, throw in an extended TLC etc etc. We'll be looking at trading in her 2004 R50.

Have you tried our Dealer sponsor Harry Fairbairn to see what cars they have available and I'm sure they will be able to sort you out with a deal.

Hi William, I did yes, but sadly nothing that matches my wife's focused criteria of model and colour combination.

Don't let that put you off John, there are lots of people who have used them and had good service...

John did you do a group search of Harry Fairbairn? I'm sure if you were set on a specific car they'd get it through from Giffnock or Irvine. I got my car from Douglas Park Glasgow and I got a great deal on my car, I did look at a car Eastern had. I sent an email apologising that I'd found a better deal and a better specced car which they never even bothered replying to, was a bit disappointed as I thought their customer service was a bit better than most dealers at first. But again that's only my experience.

Our experiences of Eastern have never been great. We wouldn't go near them again.

Thanks Guys, sadly the car sold before we got there. My search continues.
