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!

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

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:

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.
