So today, having wanted a Cooper S as long as I've had my Cooper. I decided to buy one. I was going to wait and buy a new one then I came across one with a spec I quite fancied and decide to take a look.

Well.

It's all black with Chilli Pack, R90's, leather interior, panoramic roof, harmon kardon CD, aircon, AST, multifunction steering wheel. I can't even remember what else I was so excited.

Its the same age as my Cooper and there was a few more miles on it, I'm trading it in for €6,900 which seems like a good deal. These are the pics from their website.

I've to wait till Wednesday or Thursday, I'm so happy

simeds · Jul 15th, 2005, 04:39 PM

aaahhh-all black for that 'Darth Vader' on wheels look... Good choice

Rayman · Jul 15th, 2005, 05:17 PM

Luv the interior too, it always look wicked against the black!

ButtonIt · Jul 15th, 2005, 05:19 PM

It's a beauty Lou

Mini Lou · Jul 15th, 2005, 05:50 PM

It's so nice to NOT have to wait 3 months this time too. I'll be sad handing over the keys of my Cooper though...that's for sure.

lol @the darth vadar thang - maybe not exactly what I was going for but what the hell! lol

wibbly · Jul 15th, 2005, 05:52 PM

That looks great - love the interior

Tinkerbell · Jul 15th, 2005, 08:00 PM

Looks very

CooperID · Jul 15th, 2005, 08:53 PM

Excellent Lou

... really love the interior... I'd love one just like that for my other half

nylo · Jul 16th, 2005, 10:15 PM

Good job Lou, it looks lovely, especially the wheels, they really do look well

You'll have to come on some of the runs (lavs' Antrim Coast run is coming up mid-August, plug plug!) so we can get a good oooo and aahhh over it

Mini Lou · Jul 17th, 2005, 08:31 AM

Oh no....I know someone who works for another BMW dealership and he's pretty convinced they're ripping me off. Their giving me €22,000 for mine. I paid €29,500 15 months ago. There are Cooper's advertised online same age and milege as mine for €26,000, but mines got the R90's and the xenons etc.

I'm gonna have to think more about this. Is anyone well up on this stuff?

Speedd · Jul 17th, 2005, 09:06 AM

.. to be honest you need to compare like for like and is the S in good condition? can the person you know get you a similar car and offer you more money?

in fact can he give you better money for yours and you go buy the one above?

The bootom line Lou, if you like it then go for it as long as you can afford it

there will always be what-ifs

good luck and the one above looks

the best colour to have by far

nylo · Jul 17th, 2005, 01:51 PM

yeah, that sounds like a plan- can you not go to the guy who is offering you 22, then go back to the first to buy the S? Or is 22 a trade in price?

As Speedd says, why not have a look and see what the 2nd guy can offer you MINI-wise. Having said that though, I know what it's like to have your heart set on a particular one, and anything you see after that just doesn't quite fit the bill. Bit of a dilemma that. Hard decision, but keep us up to date with what you decide to do

Your always gonna get less of the garages than if you sell it privately. They never give you the best trade in value, especially in Dublin.A friend of mine changed her cooper to cooper s this year and they gave her a bad deal on her cooper but she has the s now and is as happy as ever! She tried to sell it privately at the price she wanted but nobody was interested. At least if you sel it to the garage and something hoes wrong you wont have anybody knocking on your door

Mini Lou · Jul 19th, 2005, 01:19 PM

Yeah, your probably right...but...I got my deposit back yesterday. I don't know what the right thing to do was. I hadn't looked at any other Cooper S's in comparison, it was all done in impulse.

I'll have a proper look at Cooper S's and see if I can get a good deal. Maybe go for something that doesn't have 30,000 miles done on it

...I'm so chicken.

But being honest with myself, I really really did want a dark silver one

ButtonIt · Jul 19th, 2005, 01:23 PM

The best thing to do then is wait untill you find a nice Dark Silver one that you really fall in love with

ALD0 · Jul 19th, 2005, 01:31 PM

Looks good
