Sad time!!

The time has come for me to sell me loving little MCS. At the moment with me working away, it is just not getting used.

It is a '03 MCS, D/Silver with black roof, mirrors etc. Chilli pack, JCW front sport seats, 6 disc multi changer, front driving lamps, Â£700 worth of extra security.

The car has done 22,000 miles with fMINIsh, remaining TLC & manufacturers warrenty.

I know this is General Discussion, I will add it to the for sale section with detailed pics.

The price of these cars are very different to each other, any ball park figures anyone?

Yeah, I do love the car but.......

Already have my next car in my sights as/when the time comes (or atleast I have narrowed it down slightly).

I'm really swaying towards the Honda Integra Type R DC5.

Did think about a Clio Trophy, Lotus Elise and the ITR but for loads of reasons for, the ITR came out top!!

Won't be buying another for a few months so will prob change my mind....again!

You're looking to sell the car to get......another car, is it that you don't like the Mini :evil: will you're new car get used any more ;)

Brian, as a ball park, I would say around the Â£12k mark. I regularly see 03 MCS cars for sale around that figure...

it's that old story, it's worth as much as someone is prepared to pay you, however I did find out recently that the second hand values are not as strong as they used to be...:disapprove:

You'll be looking at as much a Â£6k-Â£7k to change to a Integra, if not more.

Cheers guys!

I did say as and when the time comes. I'm due to move from my current job around December/January time so I ''should'' be carless until then. I Just feel sorry for the poor wee thing, it's tucked up in a garage most of it's life these days!

craigd - Cheers. Thats what I would like to get for it. Luckily, I'm in the position that I don't really need to sell so I don't need to accept the daft prices the dealers have offered!

Brian,
I'm in the same situation as you, i've just started a 28/28 overseas rotation and my Cooper will be parked in the garage for 6 months of the year, whilst that's fine and helps keep the miles and running costs down it's a waste of a decent motor and my money :evil:
So, i can't make my mind up what to do either :p:I

I'm set on what I'm doing as like you the MINI would be un used 5-6months of the year.

Going to another dealer tomorrow to see what they say then remove the seats, sell them then sell the car. I want the seats to go to a good guy, not a dealer!!

....and the MINI of course, love that little car!
