NL2017 MINI Cooper
Stefanie from Haarlem
“Really a super fun and timeless car to see!”
My name is Stefanie and I live in Haarlem with my husband. For a while I was looking with my husband for a new car. I drove a Toyota Aygo for years that we called Betsy.
I was looking for a replacement car that is not too big, but offers a little more comfort than my Betsy. We have good friends with a B&B in France and I planned to visit them regularly by car. Betsy was fine for the small town rides, but on the long distances she made quite a bit of noise and wasn’t very comfortable. She also had no navigation system and nice seats for the long distance.

“A super fun and timeless car to see”
In our search we looked at cars such as a Volkswagen Polo, Seat Ibiza, Ford Fiesta, etc. Then we suddenly thought of a MINI Cooper from 2014. Really a super fun and timeless car to see! And of course much more luxury and comfort as my Betsy.
Through our daughter we came into contact with Constantijn from Shift Up. It was a pleasure to buy this car from this young, enthusiastic and honest entrepreneur! We made our wishes known to him and he made us very enthusiastic about a Mini Cooper, generation F56. He had such a MINI in stock at the time. We could take it for a test drive and if we liked it, we could tell wishes, and Constantijn would look for my dream MINI.
“I had the complete faith in Constantijn”
The test drive went well, it was only a silver-grey MINI, and I would have preferred a dark exterior color. Constantijn went looking for a suitable alternative for me and indicated that he did not need long to find the right one. It took about two weeks, then he sent me pictures by Whatsapp of a Mini Cooper in the color Iced Chocolate Metallic. He directly called to tell us a few things about this car. I had the complete faith in Constantijn and decided to go for this MINI. Constantijn traded in my old Betsy for a good price.
After we agreed to the proposal, it took about 1,5 week to receive our new MINI. In the meantime he arranged transport, the import process, car inspection, cleaning treatment, etc. We really had the feeling of buying a brand new MINI, but with the benefits of a young used car. In the meantime we have made many kilometers with this beautiful MINI, which we have now called Charlie! I can recommend anyone which is looking for a nice young used BMW or MINI Shift Up! The communication is very good, they are easily accessible via Whatsapp, 7 days a week. Even after the purchase I had some questions about the car that were quickly explained in a pleasant way. In short, buy your new BMW or MINI here!
