Hey all,

As I am thinking of moving over to a Cooper S I was wondering what I could expect from my dealer for my current car?

It is as follows;

Jan 2002 Mini Cooper, Indi Blue White Roof
Chilli Pack
Half Leather Sports seats
Remote alarm
Manual Air Conditioning
6 CD Changer
Sports Suspension Plus
17" S Spoke Wheels
Roof Spoiler
Leather Steering wheel, gear nob
First Service
9700 miles
TLC

I'm just toying with the idea at the moment you see

Any comments appreciated!

Cheers,
Chris

I was offered £12200 for my Cooper(Oct.2001)which cost £14750 new when I traded up to a Cooper S in November 2002 -I gave the dealer two fingers when I managed to sell it privately for £13500. Exactly the same spec. was on the forecourt for £14250 so they were making £2000 and my new Cooper S was £18000!!!'

BTW - you won't regret the Cooper S - the difference is amazing, and although I loved my Cooper, I would never go back to it - get the 'S' if you can and start having supercharged adventures!!

Good luck with the sale if you decide to go for it

Thanks mate!

It cost me £14,500 or somewhere there... I was hopeing my dealer would sort me a good deal.. they have a Cherished Cooper S in the showroom (no demo) with 3500 miles on it for around £15,500... I was hoping they would sort me a good deal as this would be the only way I would make the jump!

Would it not having xenons prevent you from buying it??

b4 I ordered my mini One, I did a lot of looking for a used Cooper - my budget was £12k.

I would hold out for high 12s but dont accept than 12.5k

Dec 2001 Mini Cooper, Red White Roof
Chilli Pack
Half Leather Sports seats
Manual Air Conditioning
17" S Spoke Wheels
Heated Jets and Mirrors
MFSW
Radio Boost and CD player
ASC+T
14000 miles

for £12,500

bobnobski · Feb 6th, 2003, 03:36 PM

good price?
What was the car listed on the forcourt for??

hamster100 · Feb 6th, 2003, 03:42 PM

It was up for £13,000. And they agreed to delivery it 300 miles to me in London.

the previous owner part exchanged it for a MCS.

Can't fault the car.

Hmm hopefully I will get a better deal if I return to my usual dealer and speak to my usual salesman!

Don't know whether to take the plunge though.. I don't think my wallet could take it!?
