Why? Are you not liking the 200?
200
The plan was always to get something else within a year an a half.
The JCW would enable me to save more in the long run.
I love the 200 but when i do something i take my time researching

supercharged or turbo version?
200
This is what i put into a mini forum.
Hello all, im new to the forum, just turned 22.
I bought a Clio Sport 200 in September which I love, i dont need to go into it as the reviews speak for themselves.
I wouldn't have one over the cooper S however I would potentially have a JCW.
I have always loved JCW. I am a bit obsessed with Focus RS aswell which i was hoping to get into within the next year (there are 3 month old ones for around 24k atm) I am however thinking to have a JCW for 6months to a year before I get something a little more powerful as i ask myself "would i really be able to make the most of a FRS?" the answer is probs no.
What would i be looking to pay for a good spec JCW 6months old or under or if i was to buy one new how much woulf i pay and what would it worth a year on?
I have tried looking on PH and AT but they are all 2008 or older, mine would need to be nearly new so they take the Hit.
I have never driven a JCW but i have driven a Cooper S but i find them a little Mumsy unlike the JCW. (no offence to anyone). I often have a play with JCWs in mine and you guys may not agree but they are pretty evenly matched and i even recon you can be harder into the corners with the 200.
Before you guys sat it, yes i know the JCW is faster ina straight line and you dont need to work so hard for it being a turbo not NA Blah blah.
Basiclly i want to try something different, something turbo'd and something thats not going to average 21.5MPG so please send me your feelings

dam cant comment as ive never been in one supercharged are the way forward!

Exactly which was my original plan An RS, however that was an expensive example. Also its much more to insure and run. I also think the JCW with hold much more.

How old are you? I will PM You his number for when you are ready.

Want it newish they are also pre-peugot engine are they not?

Yeah it would be a Supercharged Cooper S.
If i had the money i'd be driving a GP thats for sure!

I care from a warranty point of view, that is all.

At 22 you have a Clio 200, fancy a JCW for 6 months before buying a Focus RS :S.
If you can afford to do it then great but have you stopped to consider the depreciation as soon as you drive it off the forecourt?
Don't take this the wrong way but this sounds like a case of 'more money than sense'. Why don't you just keep the 200 and go straight to the FRS in 6-12 months?

Wouldn't it make more financial sense to skip the JCW and go straight onto the FRS - that would save you the deprecation on the JCW?
Mini's lose alot of money once they're spec'd up. I bought a MCS from a main Mini dealer many years ago. It was, at the time 2yrs old 5.500 miles for just under 15k, it was well spec'd, previous owner paid around 21K.
I'm sure a Mini dealer would have made around 2k profit on that. So the first owner would have bought it at 21k the sold/px at 13k. That's 7k in 2yrs & 5.500 miles.

Na im thinking of not going for the FRS totally. The mini is something which can be kept for a long time and not lose too much. The FRS i think drops too much. i.e. they can drop 4k in 3 months which is stupid. Its also 2k to insure where the mini is the same as mine £890.
Also i would not be getting it new.

alot of 59plates ar 24k now, walters near me 3 months old lux pack 2 5000 miles. This is on ei have seen in the flesh myself.
You can buy cherished Mini's, Mine is 5 years old but still has BMW warranty.

I'd wait until you can afford a mk2 FRS TBH.

The JCW is a great car, tbh. BMW labour charges are however not great. Parts are very very expensive.
Although as Gally rightfully said a heros chariot, chuck norris helped assemble the GP's by hand.
