there was another mini for sale on here a similar ammount of money, mini's for sale at around the £3K mark always take a while to shift, i wouldn't drop the price if thats what you want for the car, if you are not in a rush to sell it as you say in the original post then just hang on then and it will sell for that kind of money, its just a case of waiting, plus having a 1275cc engine in it wont help as young drivers find it difficult to insure mini's with 1275 engines as standard, a young driver would find your ritz really expensive to insure as the insurance company will class it as being modified, it would be a lot easier to sell if it was a 998, like i say it should sell for the money that you want for it as it is a really nice ritz.......good luck with the sale........

998 engine going in the weekend, so car will then be sold for best offer around the £2900 mark, also i have the new door cards sorted, have also fitted new side trims along sills from mini spares.

So car will be as original completly also forgot to mention as a full boot lining kit fitted. Comes with a modern head unit fitted and working.

998 engine now fitted and running . Everything runs fine cant see any leaks all gears seem ok and new clutch fitted .

So now is not a modded car so should be easy for you youngsters to insure.

mini's aren't selling at the moment........people just dont have the money right now, the car trade in general is in hard times, new cars are not selling and therefore there are not as many part exchanged used cars around, people are hanging on to the cars that they already have as they cant afford to change them, plus nearly £3k looks a lot of money for a 26 year old mini when youngsters can buy a 6 year old corsa/clio or whatever for the same money, its just the way that it is at the moment unfortunately, i know that this doesn't help you but i guess that it will take a bit longer to sell the mini than you first expected........:-(
