MINI driver again....!

Not the actress....obviously!

Just did a test drive of my "new" car (08 Cooper) at Cooper Reading. It's a 58 plate Chilli red with white bonnet, mirrors and stripes. MFSW, DSC, Chilli pack, Storage pack, bunch of other stuff - got it for £8,500. They would NOT budge on the bloody price. Got a few bits of MINI merchandise, some floor mats (it didn't come with them) a tank of petrol and they are going to deliver to the house. So nothing major sadly.

Just wondering if I paid an OK price and wasn't raped. I've only bought MINI's in the US.

What do you think guys?

I'm still super happy though.

Thanks!

If you are happy with it who cares? There's always a cheaper one somewhere.

Hope you enjoy the new car

Looks very cheap to me! Congratulations

Thanks! Only driven automatics in the States. So manual on a different side of the road on the other side of the car should be....interesting!!!!

Can be interesting at first changing gear with the door handle.

or trying to pull an invisible seatbelt over my left shoulder!!

Actually the hardest thing has been going from a diesel (my husband's) to a petrol. Trying to get used to less torque and giving it more gas at a red light. Keep stalling the bloody thing
