Hi all. I'm considering selling the MINI ( yep after all that !!) I'm not as happy with it as i thought I would be, yeah the heated seats and gadgets are great but the ride is not great (due to the sports suspension-ouch) and i'm a bit concerned about the power steering issues, am wondering whether to sell it whilst its got low mileage (31,000) as the probs are really on higher mileage cars(but not always)
Its a great looking car but is not what I though it would be-had more fun driving my old mini!!
Just means I wont be able to do my mini events which are basically all the socialising I do but i can still get involved in the social side of things with the club.
Would sell it and then buy a cheaper car-not sure what yet so i wont owe as much either.
Any opinions?

Aww that's a shame MM, but if you're not happy with it then it's up to you. Have you thought about how much you'll get back if you sell it?

hi cl have you managed to correct you betting things? hope you sort it all out

OMG MM, but if that's what you want you should be happy with your car.

I did that survey too and haven't heard from it either.

Hope the car doesn;t cost too much maria. I am still waiting to get mine done, not looking forward to the bill.

Ebay fee change tomorrow so am going to list some 99p tat tomorrow, and will get them ready tonight I think and try to get rid of some of my 99p items.

I didn't have time to correct the mistake, but I asked on the gambling board and they said that I actually profited from the mistake! :rotfl: but if my horse had won then I would have lost money?! I don't know how it worked but I'm just glad I didn't lose!

yukki, how are the fees changing? are they putting them up again?

jenjade

wow that was luck cl i did that once backed the same team twice when i wasn;t concertrating and they won!! lol it was great but could have been horrid!

That's good you didn't lose anymoney cl!

I've done everything on my list bar the job application which I've done half of so far.

Thanks everyone- I paid £6950 for it, valuation for private sale through Glass is £5890 so basically lost a grand, however having had the steering prob done through Bmw would have cost me that if i hadnt had the inclusive warranty. Have paid my relatives back £2000 so I owe them £4900 still. Would sell it and then buy a cheaper car-possibly another micra for about £2000. Just dont wanna get stuck with a lemon in the long run.
Would love another old mini but thats a whole new night mare!! no way i'd get another one of them without a hefty payrise"!

MM I hope you make your money back on the mini hun

The amazon voucher was only to the first 100 or 500? that completed i think, so we may not of been in the first 500 to get it
