Well folks, i got an absolutely great deal when i traded in a 1988 Vauxhall Carlton for my MINI Cooper. I took the dealer for a drive around the block to prove that it would start and stop and he offered me £200 MORE than i'd been offered privately!! Top bloke!!

....thought i ought to mention that the dealer only gave me £200 for the car......nobody even rang me when i tried to sell it privately!!

Still, £200 is better than nothing and just about covered the cost of the cossie whale-tail that now cossets my Cooper!
