Why are Red Cooper S's so cheap?

[Thesaint01708]

After selling the type-R me and the OH are in the market for a MCS, have £4-4500 to spend and are looking at the earlier supercharged model.

All the ones we have seen have been 80-100k miles but theres a few that are 50-60k which is more what we want, but theres a few red ones that seem really cheap?

whats wrong with red?

Nothing wrong with red. Might be cheaper as it wasn't a Cooper S specific colour, unlike Dark Silver or Electric Blue.

Maybe the aftermarket alloy wheels have devalued it.

+1.

I have found Electric Blue to be the cheapest but that's because its the worst colour.

OK, so st advert with no details, crap alloys, bird st on window and signs of being a chav all over it.

There must be better examples than that to look at.

Probably because someone in Hertfordshire kept on buying Red MINIs and rejecting them...
