Buying a Mini One

elle

I'm looking to buy a Mini One, preferably no older than 08. I would go for a new one if I could get a decent scrappage deal on my own car. Just wondering how much I should expect to pay. Been looking around on the internet and prices are varying from 14,500 - 17,000 for 08 models. Obviously I'm going to try talk the dealers down as low as I can. Also wondering about the scrappage deal thing I have a 00 yaris, is there a set price on this scrappage deal or does it vary? Any dealers people would recommend?

You mean the government scrappage deal that only applies to new cars

The Government Scrappage scheme only applies to buying a brand new car.

Some dealers are doing their own scrappage schemes against second had cars but this is really the same as just offering a cash discount on the used car.

BTW MINI have a introduced a new model especially for the Government Scrappage Scheme called the MINI First and this one can be had for around €16500 under the scrappage scheme:

Downside is that they are pretty bare equipment wise but it is a brand new car.

Oh yeah I meant the scrappage deal for buying a new car!! sorry if that wasn't clear! I'd settle for an 08 but if i got decent scrappage I'd go for a new one! Must look at this mini first so, I really like the one, all i am after is a plain one 2 door NO STRIPES
