Not bad at all.
I certainly wouldn't pay £16k for a s/hand MINI, let alone the £17-17.5k the dealer will sell it for

MINI, RX8 and MX5 - Done those............. It's now TTime

Welcome to Zafira2.com. To be honest I'm wouldn't buy a Zafira again. Depreciation, centre rear seats are too upright, 3rd row seats are tiny, spare wheel gets stolen by Astra drivers. I'd go for something like a C-Max TDCi.

BTW. Congrats Jimbo.

There is just one moon and one golden sun; And a smile mean friendship to ev'ryone; Through the mountains divide, and the oceans are wide; It's a small world after all.

Interesting comments - thanks

TBH I'm still not sure I can seriously consider it. WhatCar seemed to think depreciation wasn't too bad as lots of demand for them.

It's such an generic shape I struggled to find one to look at on the road today
Maybe I'd be better off with an old 3 series estate...

Well.... as i've not been involved in this thread a great deal, but now I have the urge to change my S.....

I have this urge either to go for a works kitted S, with the new seats, will switch my 18's from my current S.... or something totally different

But what colour if it was another Mini ?..... I love the EB/W I have, and have thought about all Black with chrome pack.... but what about CR/W ?.... or PS/W (not seen many of these).... decisions decisions.... or even wait for any new colours ?....

Or I could just go the other way.... 5 year old Boxster, M3 Evo.... even saw an Impreza P1 with 30k on the clock for 18k recently....

Always a difficult one.....of course there is the facelift to consider...

Traitor :d

Most MPV's have those faults, big polus for me with the Zafiria was teh rear seats fold into the floor so not lifting then out and storing them when ever you want boot space The new Zafiras have great cup holders now as well

I love my Ollie, and will be sad to see him go. LY is a great colour, but IB's been the dream.
