New guy saying hello.

[rglen74]

Hi All,

Just wanted to say hello as this is my first post. Im looking for an automatic Mini for my Dads 70th birthday gift. Ive spotted this one which is about 25 miles from me. Spoke to the guy who says he is looking for 5500 pounds minimum. Would you say that looks like a good price?

Many thanks in advance.

Welcome to AMR

Not sure I would buy from a dealer? I noticed the steering wheel is Grey and wondered if that is what they fitted to that colour/model Mini? I think the price being asked is possibly worth it but only if it all adds up, I bought mine which is in original condition and extremely low mileage for a lot less but that was a private sale and its a 1275cc. maybe others will come along and give you their thoughts.

Hi Glen, and welcome to the register. The mini city listed is a minter and is probably the right price at 5500 for the low miles if provable. Personally, the budget you have i would opt for a jap re-import. Much better spec , better seats ,(even aircon), you can pick a late 90,s within that budget. Good luck with your purchase.Regards Terry.

Hi rglen, Welcome to the site. I too spotted that lovely Mini City and it looks lovely. Hope you managed to either buy that model or have found a nice one. You will find this forum to be very useful for tips and advice.

All the best.
