Had a couple of offers!!! Its an amazing cooper s with all the extra options. BMW were amazed at how many it had!!! Here is the link to pistonheads http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/735419.htm I know its up for too much at the moment but wanted ur opinions on how much u think i should sell it for.... Im thinking maybe £9000 but scared this is still too high. Be honest i can handle it.. Thanks in advance Janoose x | ||

No that means they bought that p/x for probs £5k. And i ask about it and they said that it had been sitting there for 3 weeks at the price and no takers. Just a thought | ||

Still half the original price in 5 years is done good. MINI Project 261hp and counting... : MINIProject.co.uk | ||

If i was you i would just keep it, for another 9-12 months otherwise you wont get a good return on it. | ||

Good luck with the sale, and you never know, if you do keep hold of the cooper-s, I maybe knocking on your door in a few months time with some cash !! | ||

At least i get to keep it and have more fun with it! well for the time being anyway until it does eventually sell!! Also then it may be still avaliable for u when u decide to buy it hehe.
