Has anyone ever done this? Just wanted to know if they are prepared to haggle over the price or not and to what extent! Anyone with any experience of buying a used Mini this way - any advice greatly received!

    Looking at your signature I would give any Mini a miss until your debts are sorted out.
    Give it 12 months in your new job.

    I've been trying to update it! Argh! It took mr ages to find how to do my signature and now I've lost it. Anyway I have managed to pay off my credit card etc thanks to marking just over a thousand exam papers for an exam board (I'm a teacher).

    So... again.... anyone any advice with Mini Cherished?

    I looked into buying a mini late last year.

    basically, the dealers said no to any deals. They reckoned the demand for minis meant they could stick to the price.

    Wouldn't it be cheaper to get a loan, and buy a mini privately?
