Hi there

I've got a two month old Mini Cooper S, great car etc etc.... my problem is i may have to work abroad in about 6 months time for a couple of years and obviously can't take the car with me. So i was wondering if anyone knew if it was possible to sell the car back to the dealership you bought it from?

Very much depends whether they want to buy it back off you really. Be prepared to be offered rock bottom for it though. Sorry. Approach a few dealers and get prices of them.

Much better off taking a little time to advertise on here (for free) in the classifieds and also in AutoTrader, places like that, costs a little time and a little money, but the dealers tend to offer about £1,500 to £2,000 less than they will sell for I think.

I Sold my ONE D back to dealer, lost 4k in 9 months by doing that, but I wanted the funds quickly and did not want the hassle of Tyre kickers and possible fraud payments etc, the dealer gave me prompt payment, no fuss or hassle, but I reckon I could of got £1800 more by selling privately.

Why is it "obvious" that you can't take the car with you?

Where are you going?

Well i'm going to Dubai and won't need a car whilst i'm there. To be honest i hardly use the car as it is, its a very expensive ornament!

Thanks everyone for your replys, i need to look into it further and will probably call my dealer whom i bought it off of and see what they say. I'll let you know how i get on.

Good luck, hope that you have a fab time living in Dubai! (I'm very jealous as I went to Dubai on holiday in July and I want to go back!)
