Well we're not getting a Mini any time soon.....£8700 for the gf's TT, as a part exchange. :( Never had the energy to go to Harry Fairbairne today, but will go next weekend, though i think AutoTrader is a calling.

Welcome Dave



Hope you get a car sorted out soon...

You don't fancy a new shape Cooper S that returns 40mpg on the motorway and about 34mpg round town? if so, let me know..

You happen to know a guy who's selling

[drb5374]

Thanks guys. Will try Pistonheads too, yer.

Probably the wrong time of year to sell however....

You need to take a step back, if you were offered £8,700 for px then thats a good price. If its not enought ok, but if you think you will get much more then think again.

A deaer will want to stick min £1000 on the car, probably £1,500. He needs this to run his business. Means its going on his forecourst for £10,000-£10,500. for a 2002 180 TT.

Have a look on Autotrader for what they are going for right now.


Good luck

Similar cars i have found are going for 11.5-12k from a dealer and i should easily be able to get 10.5k.

I'm in the trade myself and had looked at a Glass's guide prior to turning up so i knew rough what to expect. At 8700 though, it falls short.

If your talking Audi dealers then yes sure £10.5k against a £20k car.

But a non fanchise dealer would not give you £10.5k for the car, especially with that mileage.

Always worth trying another dealer you never know, squeeze another £1000 out them and get yourself a slice of mini magic.

To be fair I dont think you will get £10.5K for it either.

My dad traded his TT in at a main Audi dealer for a new £32k TT back in July and got only £10.2k for a 225bhp Quattro, full leather, bose sounds, with only 31k miles. Remember that was 4 months ago.
