    If you like the colour and aint fussed about a massive spec'd car then it looks like a great buy in mu opinion.

    I source quite a lot of cars so if you need any help with pricing give me a shout
    What do you think of the spec and price off this one?

    Hi

    Car looks nice and the spec is quite good, If looking for a car and paying that sort of price you would be better looking at a Cherished Mini from a Mini Dealer where you would have peace of mind with the Warranty that is supplied when buying one...

    I wouldn't be concerned purchasing outside the main dealer network, however 11.5K is not far of the Retail Price, percentage wise, on a 57 Plate Cooper S

    Retail on that car is a little over 12k in the dec guide (I havent got the latest january prices yet) but id expect them to have dropped £200 or £300 since the values below.

    Bear in mind people price their cars on auto trader with a margin for haggling, general rule of thumb on private sales is somewhere between the retail and trade figures. Based on that id be targeting to get that car for somewhere between 10.5k/11k

    Yeah, would definitely agree with that. For piece of mind sake. Prime example, our second S is also showing signs of needing the chain tensioner changed as it sounds like a diesel half the time when it starts up and drives for the first mile or so!
