Griffer · Dec 31st, 2007, 12:54 PM

Went into the Sutton Coalfield dealers to look at the new Clubman and was offered £13750 for my Cooper D (got it in August with 3500 miles on the clock for £15000) against a new Cluman from their group stock. Said I would go and have a think and popped into the Ryedale Central in Birmingham on the way home. They offered me £14722 against a new Cooper D Clubman from their group stock. I obviously accepted the offer which was generous due to fact it was 2 days before Christmas and they only had to sell one more car to meet their December target. Picked it up on Saturday , really pleased with the increased rear room, 3 seats (for my three kids), easier access and the bigger boot. Spec is fairly basic but met my minimum requierments:
Cooper D Clubman
Pure silver with black roof and rear pillars
Pepper pack
Clear indicators
3 rear seats
Fluid silver interior trim
Additional decor rings
16" 5 star Blaster wheels
Smokers pack
I have added my Aero kit chrome side repeaters, JCW C/F gear knob, hand brake, stumpy aerial, silver indicators bulbs, JCW tax disc holder and my 3 spoke steering wheel with JCW inserts is being swapped over on Wedesday as part of the deal.

minisoopercooper · Dec 31st, 2007, 01:47 PM

I better get you a new sticker - it must be worn out with all the MINI's it's been in by now

can't wait to see it mate

Griffer · Dec 31st, 2007, 04:06 PM

It is getting a bit tired now!

That's an absolutely amazing trade in value you got for the Cooper D; Well done!

Thanks Tigger I just happened to be there when it was very quiet in the dealers and they wanted their months target bonus! I did 7500 miles in 4 months and it only cost me £280!

They must be going mad with trade ins I got £11.6K for my S they are selling for just over £12K

Lovely Clubman the more the merrier.

KillerByte · Jan 1st, 2008, 10:23 AM

Sounds like you've both got great deals there guys.

Darren Briggs · Jan 1st, 2008, 10:47 AM

Very similar spec to my Cooper Clubman

Have added Vipers, B&W union jack side repeaters, Aero Kit Grill and additional driving lights

Not again!!! Whats it going to be next, the Mini SUV??!! (Which Im sure I'll want...)

I think that was my fave launch combo - Suits the Clubman nicely

Top choice

Tigger, Eeyore & Roo · Jan 1st, 2008, 11:25 AM

Our daughter, Roo, knows her cars!

They are either just plain Cars (they are not MINI's, so it doesn't matter what they are!), MINI's, Baby Mini's (Classics) or (as she said as soon as she saw the picture of Griffer's new Clubman on my monitor), Funny MINI's

I'm not quite sure what this proves, but it made me smile

Yellow/Black OneD · Jan 1st, 2008, 06:16 PM

Wow, it looks brilliant in Silver and Black, works really well, especially with the bits you have added, i love those side repeater surrounds!

Where did you get your stumpy aerial from?? I need one of those!

Honda aerial from Ebay, about £10.

Griffer · Jan 3rd, 2008, 04:24 PM

Got my 3 spoke steering wheel fitted as part of the deal now. Also pics of how much luggage you can fit in a Clubman. In the standard car only the big blue case went in the boot, the others had to go on PJ's kids laps.

CC07ERS · Jan 3rd, 2008, 04:34 PM

Please put a pic of the aero kit griffer i havent seen one yet . Ta MUCHY You like to change them over quick lol
