Is this Insignia a good deal?
Hey there I have a mini one 08cXXXX The mileage 119437 km . And the problem is 0 compression on one of the cylinders, the garage told me ot would be about 2000e to fix it. The another garage said that it was only worth 2500 trade in. So they were selling my a opel insignia 131 88000 miles for 9500 plus my car .. Is this a good deal ?? Please and thanks. Brenda.
Our answer:
Hi Brenda,
The value they’re putting on both the MINI and the Insignia are in the right ballparks, although there are certainly more affordable 131 Insignias around than that. The Opel is a fine car — comfortable, good to drive, decent reliability. However, I would definitely get on the phone to ring around for other quotes to get your existing MINI fixed.
