Yes I know there are no such thing as Freebies. The buyer ultimately pays.
In my case I was so relieved in trading my eight month old Mini Cooper (2039 miles) that I would have taken any deal.
At least I now have a car that I am happy with and the one I should have bought in the first place, but you don't get to my age without making some mistakes and a Mini Cooper is definitely not the car for a
Septuagenarian.
