Well we've finally seen the car today (via video) and to our happy surprise it's basically brand new and still in the wrapper/not yet prepped. Was collected this morning with 8 miles on the clock and...

Thanks. Actually really looking forward to collecting. I’ve always been a fan of minis myself so I’m more excited than the Mrs.

The person I know who used to work at Sytner said the same thing re...

Thanks! And definitely quicker, less weight! Ha

My mrs loves black cars, the black/black/black look too much for me!

Yep, definitely. That much so we've ordered it. In fact, have now been told it is delivery miles only and is being sold at cost. I remembered earlier I know someone who used to work for Sytner...

OK, so a little bit of a change.

The one I found earlier - exact same model, only differences is black instead of white and no bonnet stripes. However, it's £2250 cheaper than the one we nearly...

Absolutely - in fact I was all set to phone up first thing but have actually seen one (pre-reg, says coming soon) for quite a bit cheaper on Sytner's own website albeit in Cardiff. Just awaiting a...

Yes they did and they confirmed they use the same system that WBAC use - actually showed it me yesterday due to the decrease in offer on the system due to additional miles (but they stuck with the...

Me neither - especially as it's likely to be at least 5yrs old when the mrs moves it on.

In fact, during the trade in process, I don't remember them asking about how many owners its had (they've...

Thanks for the detailed response Paddy, this is appreciated.

Also makes a lot of sense.

I did actually question the 90 day issue yesterday and they advised it wasn't a problem and is good to go...

Ha - yes I can imagine it easily goes both ways. The mrs has decided she wants to go for it after all so now will probably just phone first thing and fingers crossed.... If it's sold, then wasn't...

On a positive note though I got a call from goldsmiths at Meadowhall to say a Tudor GMT had come in did I want it but would need to collect in next 24hrs.

Yes. Yes I do. I now have that as the...

They’d already given that value Sunday to be honest but fair point.

Saying that the value system reduced the wife’s car by £200 when I gave exact mileage (was 4K more than I thought).

But...

Just actually out of the dealers.

They couldn’t offer any extra discount or incentive. I asked for fuel, tax and a service hoping they’d do fuel and tax or service as a minimum. Best they’d do...

Yeah true. I’ve not had it on my last couple but haven’t spent a lot on it previously using ala anyway. Remember being quoted £800 when I bought my Z4M coupe in 2007. I just laughed. They ended up...

Thanks. Fair point re Gap.

Thanks you. Appreciate the info.

I’m going back tomorrow night and will take the Mrs car with intention of sorting the deal out. Will certainly play along and be nice, friendly and ready.

Thanks for the responses all. I suppose there's no harm in asking, nothing to lose.



Thanks - didn't know that. Worth getting GAP in this instance then (I usually do but haven't for the mrs')...

The wife has decided she wants a change and driving around yesterday, spotted what turned out to be a pre-registered Mini Cooper sport. It was registered last week of June and had 7 miles on the...
