BMW Mini? - Martin Wall
Hi

Has anybody out there got a BMW Mini? Apart from the fuel filler problem has anything else gone wrong with it? How long does delivery take?

thanks

if you go to www.kelkoo.co.uk you can buy a mini one, for £8500.

Coco is clowning and wasting our time. This isn't true. www.kelkoo.com doesn't havc MINI Ones for £8,500. (If you key in www.kelkoo.co.uk you automatically go to the .com)

if you go into yahoo.co.uk then go into auctions, sometimes a banner ad says 'mini one, i can find it for you, for £8500' we find it for you, at kelkoo.

also if you go into kelkoo.co.uk it DOES bring up a .com but it has UK in the title. if you go into kelkoo.com it brings up the american site.

Just popped in after a few busy days away. What a persistant chap CW, full marks for cheek.

A few days ago Randolph Lee posted a very kind, fatherly and apt message, well worth repeating the main parts here.

........Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive... And it is VERY HARD WORK dealing in'stretchers' all the time... telling the truth is so much easier... you no longer have to keep track of all of your old Porkies.....

All a man has that is of true worth is his Honour... it takes a lifetime of
fair dealing and straight talk to develop a reputation as a straight
shooter. You are young and still have chance to mend your ways.

Don't post to threads with half remembered tips as if they came from
experience that is yet to come.

Don't start threads just for the fun of seeing your name at the top of the
list for a while... post serious questions and after a while you can win
back your credibility.

i asked kelkoo a question about the £8500 mini, and they say it was a special offer from a company called something like icebergcars.com, only 10 cars were £8500.

No it's Kelkoo who are wasting our time. I saw the link too and followed in knowing that there was no was they had a Mini One for £8500 or for any amount of money.
Just another fly-by-night .com outfit trying to get their counters up.
btw the prices they come up with for just about anything are rubbish.

Except if you use the kelkoo search, specifying £8,500 or even £9,000 for a Mini One, the search comes up with a zero result. Whatever the Yahoo banner, there's no Mini One at Kelkoo. Perhaps they did try an on-line auction, starting the car at £8,500, but as anyone who knows auctions knows, the bid a car starts at is very rarely the bid a car sells for.

Seems to me that CW's problem is that his Piston Broke......

So we can't have one then, and the information was useless.
