Just looking at the prices listed to our right, here, now who on earth would by a used MINI for more £$£$ than a 147??

I don't believe the high residuals will be around forever on MINI, so why not have a better spec NEW car & save the cash!!??

I WOULD!!!!!

I'm considering getting a new Mini Cooper as a second car. Although I could get a new replacement for my 3 year old Alfa 156 for the same money (when you add in all the Mini "extras" - aircon, CD player etc the Mini price is around £13500), I think I'll still go for the Mini. It'll certainly retain its value better than an Alfa. I imported my 2 litre 156 3 years ago for just over £14500 OTR - it's now worth less than £8000.

"MINIs keep daughters, girlfriends and mistresses happy"

It's kind of ironic, isn't it. Surely the best time to have an Alfa is when someone else is paying the repair bills!!
