Ever thought about selling your mini?

Hi folks

has any of you mini owners ever thought about replacing your cars? if so for wot reason and wot is gonna replace it?

i was just curious really, cause the only reason why i would sell my mini is because of the (not so) great reliability issues... i would probably prefer something more relaxing drive- something like a bmw compact or leon cupra would be quite cool- don't have to rev the nuts off it...

but then would probably miss all the sportiness so if i were to replace my cooper with something quite similar it would probs be a clio 172...

wots your views peeps?

cheers mikey

Replaced My Mini

Yeah i replaced my aging (4 month old) Cooper, with a spanking new "S", there was no other car to consider.

I lost 400 uk pounds to trade in though the "S" cost about 4 grand more.

A man has to be nuts to buy an £18800 mini.

Never mind, heres to the next 4 months.

Alan thats how it went as soon as i'd driven it 5 miles, happy motoring

I plan to keep mine for 6+ years, and shall have Works kit fitted in 2004/5, may get a re-spray in +4 years' time

No reason to get another car (very happy with mine), except if I change job or get promoted to one that has a company car attached. Then it will be handache time for me

NO WAY!!! I plan on keeping it for awhile, and then I will get an S. Next year, new wheels, high performance tires, and aero kit.

I have just sold my 19,000 miles one year old cooper for a very tidy sum.
And I have just ordered another cooper
