Best way to get rid of a nearly-new car?

[LimaDelta]

So, we've made a mistake. I let the OH talk me into selling the Disco and buying a MINI. Big mistake. It isn't a suitable family car, so we are looking at options. It had less than 500 miles on it, and being so early in the agreement, in slight negative equity (not a problem to clear, just an extra ball-ache).

I guess with both dealers being Stratstone they might be able to help us out a bit (stop laughing at the back!).

OP why has it taken you 2 months to realise its not really a family car?

Is there more to the change of heart than that realisation? ie - girly etc?

Several reasons, it was bought in the middle of a house move, I use the Jag more than the mini, and the OH's insistence it was fine, until it wasn't. She's now ordered a 5 door mini, but I still think it will be too compromised. I think I've managed to convince her back into another Disco. When I've had to drive it the headroom is tight, but it's not a bad car, just not the fantastic allrounder the Discovery was (and is).

Yeah yeah, first world problems and all that. She decided that the Disco was too big to park on the school run and wanted something smaller. Against all advice she insisted, and now we've both realised that even though the kids need less stuff carrying around, a Mini is no good. The five door is a little bigger but I think we need to cancel that order sharpish. Had to drive 2,200km this weekend across the Alps in a hired Nissan X-trail and it reminded me just how good big SUVs (hate that term) are for long distance comfort and usability.

Not sure about the year end for Stratstone - how would I find out?
