Krut Back and Contemplating a 2009 MINI JCW
For a few days before he's off to the West Coast.
Did receive my car back from CrAshburn Collision and it looks A LOT better! God knows what the paint thickness is at this point on my hood..... If I trade this badboy in for a new 09 JCW.
Thoughts?

Maybe I can make a deal with my boss to keep the 07 and send it to California as my company car out there.

Haha. For one second I thought you were actually going to keep this one.
This will make MINI #7, right?
Remember this back in 04? You were already on MINI #4

Dude, Just do it. Buy the 09 JCW. You know you wanna. You were contemplating the JCW kit anyway. Well, this is your opportunity to do it.

This would be #8
And for the record I already have the JCW Stage 1 kit on my car.
I'm seriously on the fence with this car - my 07 is setup supremely - handles great - just after the accident I have trust issues.

I didn't realize you already got it. I knew you were talking about it.
Get the 09.

Get the 2009, that way you'll have somewhat of a buffer before GBMINI catches up

I'm also tempted to trade for a JCW. I guess the resale on an '07 is close to -- or the same as -- I paid??? Crazy!

Just do it, the 09 JCW has some super specifications and you have a better base to apply the even bigger turbo.

This man swaps MINIs more often than some people change underwear...
Congrats on the new acquisition!

To close the loop on this - bought it. Glad I did. Got $24k on trade-in for my refurbished 07 MINI Cooper S.
