Ah well, I've lowered the price to £8999 now on here, Autotrader, Pistonheads etc. So fingers crossed, will get a call now...or something!

I've seen some fantastic bargains in the Classifieds recently, especially a High Specced Cooper, If I was on the lookout for a new MINI, I would always search private over dealer firstly.
As prev mentioned the whole market for second hand cars is down, i'm sure persistance will pay off, you have got your car covered where most people would look to find a decent buy.

Well I'm going to view a new car on Saturday, the dealer has offered me £8250 for it (low I know ). So my car is now down to £8750 on eBay, Autotrader etc. Someone could have themselves a right bargain Cooper

Surprised there is no interest. Autoexpress this week reported that the demand for used MINIs is so strong that British car auctions have set up a dedicated MINI auction. Good luck.

That's sort of back to front, if demand was so high, they wouldn't get to auction houses in big numbers, they'd be sold at a good price/premium by private sellers or dealers.

Anyone wanting to sell a mini with a warranty could always buy a warranty with Warranty Direct. Cost me about £200 for a year and can be transferred to the new owner.
