Car up for sale at £15k, guy offers me 12k!
Discussion
I think teh OP seller is in dream land, sorry OP.
It's not a sought after car.
It's not even a good looking car.
And so close to christmas and winter,
Naw,,, take it to the 3 dealers who you phoned, adn just pray theu will still give you the £12k plus that they said on the phone.
Not a chance, when you get there, they will low ball you with an £11k.

But what HAS your local dealer offered you for a straight sale, not a px? Bottom line is, that's your bottom line. But until you get the offer, you wont know.
And your car is almost certainly worth less than you think it is!
In none of my posts did I say that the price that dealers are offering me is a PX price. All the prices I've been quoted have been for a straight sale.And your car is almost certainly worth less than you think it is!

First rule of negotiation as a buyer - if your first bid doesnt embarass you, its to high.
Correct, only trouble is after a while you become immune to the hurt responses and get increasingly cheeky...Edited by Turn7 on Saturday 19th November 21:10
Such a buyers market at the moment, loads of used metal- don't get the deal you want then move on. Always careful to remain polite though- no need to be a sh!te about it and much more likely to get a deal.

So, my car is up for sale at £15k. Some guy texts me and says he's interested.
Apparently, he just sold his E92 M3 and needs something small. After about ten calls and texts between us, today he finally offered me... wait for it, £12k. Yes, £12k!
I mean, seriously? My local dealer would take it for a fair bit more than that!
fking timewasters!

MINIs are bloody hard work to sell privately. Dealers have a massive monopoly, can offer extended warranty and TLC for no cost... Private sellers don't stand a chance.
I just sold my girlfriends 59plate Cooper D with 50k on the clock, it was very special looking and got loads of interest, lots of phone call... All offering 4k less than asking price. Despite MINI themselves offering only £3k less than asking price.
In the end we sold it to a chap who was clearly in the trade for 2.5k off the original asking price.
Just glad to see the back of it, it was her second one and they are utter crap cars.

So why are they crap? Just interested as I nearly bought an S a long while back and was pretty impressed on the test drive.I just sold my girlfriends 59plate Cooper D with 50k on the clock, it was very special looking and got loads of interest, lots of phone call...
