How old is it? What reg is it?

I sold my 53 reg Jan 04 MINI one for £8400 back in September. I put on Autotrader for £10000 but £8500 was the best offer I got.

Good Luck!

Porkpie heres my selling thread for you information.
South Coast New MINI Club Forums-viewtopic-Jan 04 solid Black MINI One for Sale

I think you'll get approx £9000 for it as mine was only 4 months younger but mine didn't have air conditioning. I got lots of silly offers of around £7000 till a good one of £8500 came along.

Good luck!

Seems a high price to me. Am selling my MCS 35k miles for not much more than £10k. Must admit its a 52 reg but it has chili pack and full leather and is immaculate.

But theres not a MINI One available at the moment. And the One customers will not be shopping for a Cooper S. Ones are targetted at the low insurance costs, low petrol costs market not the Cooper S market.

Good point!!

Only thing I would add is that it might be a bad time to sell as potential buyers may wait to see what the new One is like before deciding whether to buy new or second hand.

That is true there. I probably would wait too. But a person shopping for a approx £9000 3 year used car wouldn't be in the market for buying a new one at approx £12000-13000+.

Don't mean to argue!

All I'm saying is there will always be a person who wants a cheap MINI One its just how low does the cheap go is the question. I think your car is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. My parents were ademant that my MINI was worth so much more than I received but its in the eye of the beholder isn't it. They saw the time I spent on it and how well I looked after it.

Good luck I think that £10000 is a good starting price and then listen to the offers and reduce your price from there.

Another good point!!

Thanks for all the comments

I can't really wait as my new COOPER is coming March 1st!!!!!

Where do you think is the best place to advertise it?

ru81 · Jan 30th, 2007, 02:13 PM

I always sell in Autotrader (website and magazine). Also try the classifieds section of this website, your local papers, and I also think people on here use Pistonheads website.

I love MINI, Laura · Jan 30th, 2007, 02:56 PM

Exactly what ru81 said /\/\/\/\

I sold mine after the 4th week through listing on autotrader website and mag. £45 to list on both for 4 weeks. I dropped my price after the first week after not much interest. The For sale section here was different then but looks pretty good set up so put it on here and maybe your local MINI club pages? I put mine on South Coast New Mini too as you can see from the link above. Didn't think the MINIs were getting good prices on ebay so didn't bother there.
