If you sold your Cooper S, did you find it easy to sell? How many calls did you get? Did you get the right price?

Kind regards

I got my dealership to sell my S for me. Initially they were meant to take a £1,000 comission but as it worked out they didn't get any.

How much did you sell for? mileage and spec?

Cheers

We got £15500 for our Aug 02 Cooper S with 11500 miles on it plus a further £250 as I sold the Multi Changer and Clear lights separately i think it originally cost £17100.

Mines only done upto 3000 miles. Hoping to get as close as what I bought it for.

Do you got any plans in selling your almost brand new MCS then Kinster and may I ask why

yer...why are all these people selling their MCS when they are still new?...

Kinster · #8 (**permalink**) Sep 8th, 2003, 11:05 AM

because I don't want any liabilities...

What do you mean? An S is a liability?

Somewhere around the 15k mark is about right.

I think you're all very lucky. Here in Aus, even putting 2000k on it results in 20% depreciation

Just ask Basil

My car cost £16980 new

Spec:
Dark Silver/White
Chilli Pack
DSC
BOOST
CD Auto
MFSW
Heated Jets/Mirrors
TLC

It was 10 months old with 9,000 miles on the clock. I got £15,500, which was the agreed return that I would get when I placed my order for the new car.

They advertised the car on their courtyard for £16,499 but whilst it for sale Cooper S prices did start to fall. In the end I was quite fortunate to get what I wanted, but you need a bit of luck when you sell a car.

Have a look on www.minicherished.co.uk and Autotrader/Top marque to get an idea of how much your car is worth. Then add a little space for bargaining.

Good Luck.
