Oh yes - that happened three years ago. The reason we picked up the Mini then was that the Range Rover had lunched it's engine - it managed to overheat, and warp the block. The replacement estimates were at a minimum 8-10K, and may very well have gone higher, and we'd have ended up with a car that wasn't worth what we'd have to put into it. So, as we were already half way to the price of a new Mini, we decided to go the rest of the way. At that time there was still a 3- month waiting list to get a Mini, but we were lucky enough to find an uncommitted car, coming in on spec to our local dealer, with the CVT (for Wendy-Ann), and the colour that she wanted, which we could have in only three weeks. So we bought it.
