You would have thought with summer coming they'd pay a good price
Can't you try and sell privately??
I know it's a hassle, but looks like the only way you'll get what you want.

For the sake of £1,500 , I'd still say you would be happier to get shot of it........

Other option is a private sale ? Is the £4k depreciation off the list price, or the price you paid ? It was a bargain at the time I recall you saying...........

wow what a day, Jim gets the go ahead and gets his dream S in a proper colour too this time

Poor Washy and that damn StreetKa thing

Nice new Sig for Stephen too

NorthAndy joins the spec'in crew, and I am sure we can get him the right car

The only problem I have is knowing which one to drive?

Can't do it...I have the distinct feeling W's are ripping me off....I know that car is worth £11k.....

I am a bit annoyed at the moment and not thinking too straight, but I think I may take my business elsewhere......

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....

You going with JCW seats Andy?

Is PS/W an option now?

What about trading it for the original Cooper you fancied? Before Ws got wind that you were shopping around?
