I sold mine directly back to Listers group via a link on their website that put me in touch with their group buyer I did it this way as I have not bought another VW this time. A pre Covid change of policy at work means I lose my company vehicle in October this year so my normal budget (probably plus a little bit 🙄) will be spent on two cars. I can’t face the thought of only having a mile munching barge for commuting so bought a smaller “weekend” car with all the kit to satisfy my gadget fetish and the rest will go on a small diesel something nearer the time.
I dealt directly with the group buyer. All that was needed was a few few photos and he spoke to the salesman I normally use who vouched for the condition he knew my car was in and the offers came in. I probably found a sweet spot timing wise as I sold just after the first lockdown last year and they hadn’t got a vast amount of used stock so got more than I would have as a trade in. I didn’t even have to take it in as they arranged to pick it up from home.
Bought this 😁 I know haters are going to hate but so far I am loving it. I don’t need it as a daily so, so far so good 👍
What a cool Mini
Love it!
Ignore everything that Fred says, Minis rock!
Admittedly if I spent thousands of hours driving for business I’d want a boring old Golf too but nothing comes close to a Mini for character, quality and fun.
I hit a badger in mine doing nearly 60 and nothing broke except a bit of bumper trim (£50) and a slight bend in the bumper plastic if you really stare at it. Had it been in my Golf it would have obliterated the bumper and possibly radiator too. Hefty old lump that thing was. Dived right out of a hedge in front of me.
Back on track, I got a price from Motorway for my BMW.
The VW dealer gave me £250 more without a second glance.
I’d try them again though, I’m sure different days will produce different results depending on demand and lockdowns and microprocessor shortages and all sorts of other market conditions.
