Cooper Trooper 2 · Aug 22nd, 2006, 07:39 PM

I have a 54 plateMCS - absolutely fab condition and only done 10000 miles (full leather, chili pack, cisibility pack etc...)

Do you think i would need to pay much difference to swap for a brand new mini cooper (the new model that is due out soon). I have not seen much on the prices of te new model and i'm sure some of you are mor informed than i am! I don't mind trading down to the cooper from the cooper s - but don't want to put in thousands of pounds! I would want a spec with at least the chili pack (or the equivalent on the new mini).

Anyone have any thoughts??

Kind regards

when you go to0 the dealers you will have to pay they wont let you leave you will spend £3k easy

Have you driven a Cooper? I know some people would argue this, but to me there is a HUGE difference between the Cooper S and the Cooper. I started off with a Cooper, but Mr. Mister wrecked it so while it was being repaired he rented a convertible S for me. When I got my Cooper back from the bodyshop, we ended up driving straight to the dealer and traded it in for the S (took a beating on the trade-in, by the way). I was spoiled. I say stick with what you've got.

I think you would lose too much money imho, Keep your current car for another year or 2 and put some more mileage on it

It's unlikely you will get a great trade in as dealers don't seem to like taking still newish cars with low mileage against a new model, I might be wrong but when I traded in two Audi A3's at two years with very low mileage the dealer found it hard to put a trade in price on the car so inveriably gave me a low trade in

There out to make a profit so don't bank on paying less than a few grand on the new car. If you can try and sell privately and then barter for discount on the new model (if you can)

Cheers folks - Yeah - i'll stick with the mcs for a bit longer - was tempted by lower insurance and fuel/tax bill i guess - but having said that if i don't get a reasonable trade in then its pointless.

I think i'll wait a couple of years - then go all out for another cooper S!
