Your current car is nicer imo.

Trying to sell a car just now won't be a walk in the park either!

Nup, mines is bog standard cooper interior

Don't know what to do, I love to buy it. The interior is minted

I'd need about 5k on top of what I'd hope to get for mine She's after a quick sale, got a red golf GTI waiting on her so a lot depends on how quickly I could sell mine!

Much prefer the look of the current one and I personally wouldn't want to go from a cooper to a one

Also, your cousin would get the easy way out with getting rid of her car, you'd have a nightmare trying to get rid of yours in the current state of affairs

I'd say save your money and keep yours, how much are you really gonna get the roof down? How much effort is yours gonna be to get rid of, if you want a drop top, save up and buy a cooper s and give yourself more time to sell yours

p.s. yours looks nice anyways!

Is that webuyanycar.com crowd any good? They say they will pay 4900 for the cooper!! Which isnt bed I had told J to expect 4500ish for hers!!

Do they generally pay what they say online or try to knock t off, anyone know?
