It's official, the mini cooper is the least devalued super mini after 3 years, at 50 per cent it easily beats all others :p

It must retain more than 50%:question:

Yup, thats how I funded my S by the great wedge I got for my Cooper, and that was 18 months ago now (blimey!) It's weird, thats me had a MINI (Cooper and now my S) for over 3 years now, I picked up my Cooper on the 6th of January 2002. Wonder where it is now.

Still, good news that they are still in demand.

Right, dug it out - it was SO51 PGK. So, anyone seen it around in Edinburgh?
