Thanks Ken,

That's probably what I'd expect to get, but I have 6 weeks before the new S arrives, so I might try my luck a bit higher, and see if I can get a bit more for it... no harm in trying!?

Thing is, a dealer cannot really offer more than me in a sale of the MINI being it's tender age of 8-9months! The warranty and TLC will transfer to the new owners name, I have brand new dealer fit tyres, and the £130 chrome extra's which stand out from the crowd a lot!!

Ah well, I can try my best!
