Im always thinking about upgrading to a S.

Im looking at this MINI, its at Parramatta at a Renault dealer, they are asking $37,990.

Ive got a idea, im thinking if i trade my 04 Cooper with 16,000ks with $10k change over do you think they would take this offer, could it be possible, i know the only way to get a REAL answer is go down & ask them myself its just im curious what you guys think & am i wasting my time ?

Cheers
Daniel

Yeah go and try, I wouldn't keep my hopes up but you're not off the mark by much...like couple of k's. Maybe they will budge

Silly me put the 3rd year warrenty on my Cooper April this year, what a waste if i did buy this S.

Maybe ill look seriously next April at a S.

Dan, I take it MINI would not transfer the 3rd year warranty? I'd give it a go and ask them.

The extra warranty is not necessarily a waste Tell them about it, they might be prepared to go up to the next $500 increment on the trade in. It's definitely a positive selling point

I would have thought you could do better than $10,000 if you sold your car privately. 10K sounds quite low to me

Andy i think he means his car as a trade-in + $10K

Only thing I would ask is why do they list it as CR/B when it is quite clearly CR/W ? Maybe I am just picky

Nothing ventured, nothing gained - why not just go and see whether they will? Worst case scenario is you walk away with a fair idea of what your current car is worth as a trade in. Besides, you can always use the old "well, another dealer has offered me $xxxx, so I need to think about it" - if they try and pressure you at all.

Go for it Daniel - you will never regret upgrading to an S

Probably close to $15 change over.

You have to remember that they have to turn around and re-sell your car and still make money on it.

Then comes next year...you might probably be saying "the new shape is growing on me...maybe I'll wait till they drop a bit in price".

Hmm.....i reckon you can get the dealer to drop the price of that MCS a little more. I know of an 05 MCS Chilli, 9k kms that sold late last year for $39ish. That was a great buy for whoever picked it up.
