#1: Girlfriends new car. unsure. Author: roscoe, Location: North east UKPosted: Sun Oct 28, 2012 1:33 pm ---- My girlfriends just passed her test so I'm buying her a car as a surprise but can't decide.
She wants a black convertible. My limit is upto £4000 and thats pushing it.
So its out of :
206cc 54 reg, 47,276 miles, 1.6L - £1795
I will be changing a few parts if I decide on this one
or
Mini Cooper, 54 reg, 89,000 miles, 1.6L - £3990
(was originally up for £5790)
Obviously there's a massive price increase on the mini and higher milage so I'm edging towards the 206 but if I get that. She'll want the mini
I'm bamboozled!!!

The whole Mini is a rubbish drive & long term ownership prospect
Id rather have a 206 then a Mini & thats saying something as the 206 isnt exactly a great small car

There's quite a few cc's going around this price. I was surprised myself.
This ones private hence why the mini is 2 grand more.

I've never drove a mini so I wouldn't know. I've heard alot people saying its bumpy ride mind.
the ride feel like my bilstein B8+eibach prokit with 22mm torsion bars.
so it is more towards sporty end. But again the car is pretty slow
#13: Re: Girlfriends new car. unsure. Author: roscoe, Location: North east UKPosted: Sun Oct 28, 2012 1:50 pm ---- Also she ain't going on my insurance, screw that. So its got to be under a 2.0L.
#14: Re: Girlfriends new car. unsure. Author: Addaz, Location: SuffolkPosted: Sun Oct 28, 2012 1:57 pm ---- f*****g hell, buying her a car?! f*** that
All i can comment on is the mini's engine is utter s**te for reliability, along with the gearbox and a few other items. The peugeot, well is a peugeot but is cheap to fix.
And remember, soft top over a hard top, what is more likely to leak?
