This is normally based on a standard car, add upwards of £10k of options and you's be lucky to see £1k of that back!

There are very very few MINI's on the road without any options

Essentially what Dave says. We're starting to see customers come in with 3yr old f56 looking to change. Normally on a PCP deal you can change half way through and have a bit of positive equity, or certainly no negative. Unfortunately an f56 visiting is something we dread - we're never going to sell it and the chances are the customer is welded in with so much negative equity the only way they're getting out is insurance fraud!

But dealers when selling a second hand car are going to "up the price" due to the extras!!

Maybe so but when you go to trade, extras mean very little.

Buy a standard mini with sat nav and nice wheels that will keep its value very well it's all these other options (that are great) but don't add value in the long run

This post is another reason why I need a mini lol

Don't think its just Minis ,same issue with Ford

The Nissan dealer near me have new Micras with over £4K of list!

You can get a Corsa with 25% off!
