It's a mini dilema...

[Suzi]

Ok people, I have have a major dilema that I need your help with. I'm thinking about buying a cooper s 53 plate 14,000, full leather, air con, chilli, £11500. But, and this is the big but, I'd need to sell my mini one fairly soonish.
How much would I get (private and trade) for my 54 plate mini one:

Electric Blue
No aircon
No Alloys
(Chilli spoiler, chrome boot handle, EB wing mirrors added)
18,500miles

Obviously I know I wont get 11500 for the ONE. Apart from NMS :cool:, wheres best to advertise the ONE or where would i lose least money trading it in?

Sorry Ian, you've had to listen to this all night!

Thats a good price for a 53 plate S with 14,000mls seen 03's going for £12,995
is it private sale?

Aye, my boss's wife is selling the car, thought it was quite cheap.

By the way if this goes through I promise to be at the next run! :D

[Marco77]

I've never been at a run either wouldnt mind it though

[Marco77]

On parkers your looking at around £8600 trade in and £9300 private in good

Thanks Marco,

God thats horrendus. To think I paid £11,000 2 months ago for it! Might just have to Auto-trader it then maybe...

It just makes you want the cooper s even more! Grrrr!

Best to call your insurace company first :eek:...and get a price on the S ...before you start getting prices for the cars sorted out me thinks :approve:

Checked Diamond (for the ladies)who im insured with at the mo and it's £52 a month...the ONE is £32. Not too bad though I thought.

...£624 PA + petrol @ £46 a tank load , a good run and that's gone :eek:

Is the One standard powerwise? A quick chip, filter and exhuast and you'd be halfway to the power output of a Cooper S, without the fuel penalty.

Suzz I shall check with my trader friend for you about the one. I looked at the pics you sent of the S and its got climate control as well. Check my e-mails to your Gmail account.
