England Advice on selling

I've got to sell my beloved Cooper during the next month to make room for my new one .
I wondered if anyone knew any good web sites that I should advertise it on (apart from MINI2).
Also, has anybody else recently sold theirs and how good was the response?

What you getting instead?!

I recently sold my Cooper... I advertised her on here, and Pistonheads website. Also on my work intranet etc... response not great (but bad time of year I think contributed). I eventually sold her back to the dealer for less than I wanted...

If I didn't work full time then I would have advertised in Autotrader... Good Luck.

Thanks,

I'll check out the Pistonheads and Autotrader Sites.
I'm getting another Cooper, but with all the bits I wanted the first time but couldn't afford.
i.e. Chilli pack, air con, driving lamps,multifunction etc.
Agonised over colour but gone for same again, Chilli Red is still my fave.
Cooper S still out of my price range unless I have the basic model, and then I've got the insurance to pay for.
Dealer have made me an offer, but £1000.00 below what I was hoping for. That'll be the last resort.
